June 13, 2015. The day I finally got to see Kenny Chesney.

I was six or seven when I experienced my first love. His name was Kenny Chesney and he was perfect for multiple reasons. Growing up, his songs tugged on my soul and had a connection with my life. I realized we had a lot in common! This could be because I subconsciously wanted to be the perfect lady for Kenny, so I molded my interests around his songs. Or Kenny Chesney and I could actually be soulmates. Either way, he has 100 percent influenced my life. I sat down to think about all the connections I could make between myself and his songs, and the list is rather large. Here are 30 things I blame Kenny Chesney for.

My love for:

1. The beach"No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems"
   Click here for the music video (You won't regret it.)
2. The sunshine/sunsets/sunrises"When the Sun Goes Down", "How Forever Feels"
3. The "first long kiss on a second date""The Good Stuff"
4. Summer"Summertime"
5. Riding barefoot with my feet on the dashboard"Summertime"
6. Eating chicken on Sundays"I Go Back"
7. Listening to my music "just a little too loud""Young"
8. Sweet tea"She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy"
9. Small hometowns"Back Where I Come From"
10. The Spanish language/interest in Mexico"Beer in Mexico", "You Save Me"

Making me realize that:

1. I have a crazy obsession with being tan"How Forever Feels", "When the Sun Goes Down"
2. It's okay to have fifteen pairs of shoes"There Goes My Life"
3. Living to love and laughing a lot is all I need"Never Wanted Nothin' More"
4. It's okay if I can't cook because "eating burnt suppers the whole first year" is actually "good stuff""The Good Stuff"
5. It's important to take every moment for what it's worth, because things really never are the same "Just Don't Happen Twice"
6. Guys will say anything they want to "get the job done""Out Last Night"
7. It's okay to have dreams like "a little farm and a yard full of kids" instead of a fancy mansion, etc."She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy"
8. You've got to be different from everyone else if you want to be successful"Big Star"
9. It's okay that all my friends are settling down and I'm not"Living in Fast Forward"
