If you’ve ever listened to any of Kacey Musgraves’ music, you know that she has a clever way of writing about life. In such writing she hints at elementary ideologies that could really simplify how you live if you listen closely.

Here are 7 life lessons in the form of Kacey Musgraves lyrics

“You're damned if you do, and you're damned if you don't, so you might as well just do, whatever you want”

Many of us worry too much about pleasing others with our own decisions but the simple truth is that you can’t please everyone, so you should work on making yourself happy first.

“Mind your own biscuits and life will be gravy”

It’s human nature to be interested in the lives of others, and want to help or give advice, but sometimes our advice just isn’t wanted or needed so we have to learn to stay out of other people’s business and worry about our own issues.

“Family is family, in church or in prison, You get what you get, and you don't get to pick 'em… Yeah, friends come in handy, but family is family”

Everyone can be driven crazy by their families but they are the only one that you get. No matter what, they will always be there for you, and we should all appreciate them more.

“Nobody's everybody's favorite, so you might as well just make it how you please, ‘Cause you can't be everybody's cup of tea”

We all like to be liked by others, but it’s not really possible to be liked by everyone. Sometimes people just don’t get along and that’s okay, and we just need to try to stop getting hung up on the idea of being liked by everyone we meet.

“I ain't exactly Ms. Congenial, Sometimes I talk before I think, I try to fake it but I can't, I'd rather lose for what I am than win for what I ain't”

It’s hard to be yourself sometimes, especially when it’s not going to make you popular, but it’s always best to remain who you are.

“I'm happy with what I got, 'cause what I got is all I need, Just cause it don't cost a lot, don't cost a lot, don't mean it's cheap”

There is value is what you have and what you love, even if they are not the fanciest or most extravagant things. If they make you happy, that is all that is important.

“If you're ever gonna find a silver lining, It's gotta be a cloudy day”

As much as we’d all like for all our days to be good days, they can’t be. You have to have bad days so you can really appreciate the good ones.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
