Don't be sad, this is how it works out sometimes

A phrase used in response to someone who is disappointed in a thing that turns out to be underwhelming and bad/mediocre to assure them that can just be how things go sometimes.
"This game is an unfinished mess. Why would they remove even the basic elements of a first person shooter?"
"Don't be sad, this is how it works out sometimes"

Work it Out 

To show the world exactly why you have arrived. To put your blood, sweat, and tears on the floor- whether it be a dance floor, or catwalk. Hopefully it'll be feirce, hopefully it'll be perfect, and if not, that opportunity may have been your last.
Tyra: "Work It Out"!
Model: But my feet hurt
Tyra: Oh well, I guess it's back to the ghetto for you.

let's work it out 

Something a woman says when her boyfriend fucked up & the woman wants to torture his sorry ass. Basically the boyfriend cheated on her and, instead of dumping him, nags him and refuses to give him nookie.
Men: if you cheat on your woman and she dumps you, you got off easy. If your womna says, "Let's work it our," RUN!

Work it out on the remix 

Term popularized during brat summer in 2024 when Charli XCX and Lorde ended their tension of constantly being mistaken and compared to each other, Lorde hopping on the “Girl, so confusing” remix and spitting genuine loyal, heartfelt bars about her honest feelings toward Charli… pretty iconic if you ask me
Charli XCX: “People say we’re alike, they say we’ve got the same hair”
Lorde: “Well, honestly I was speechless when I woke up to your voice note, you told me how you’d been feeling, let’s work it out on the remix
