Haha, we get it. What a hilarious joke! Life advice from Honey Boo Boo, a hoobab if you've ever seen one?! No, shut up. This young woman is wise beyond her years, plus she makes a lot more money than you so she's obviously doing something right.

We suspect that a tiny Zen Buddhist monk was reincarnated into this fiery 8-year-old. She speaks with a confidence some can only muster in their daydreams, she carries herself with dignity and grace despite just rolling around in a mud pit, and her family is actually amazing. Seriously, judge all you want, but Mama June refuses to spend the money the family earns from the show and instead puts it away for Honey Boo Boo and her sisters' college funds. Not to mention, they're crazy charitable. The family supports the LGBT community and Honey Boo Boo herself, Alana, spends her Christmases donating toys to kids who aren't as lucky as her. 

So, learn some lessons about self-acceptance, happiness, and chasing your dreams with the ever adorable proud redneck.

No one is perfect. If you think a significant other is too good for you, keep in mind everyone poos.

Learn to love the beautiful person you are. 

Don't feel guilty about things you enjoy, like eating large portions of meat.

If someone disrespects you, don't be afraid to stick up for yourself. 

Invest time in your true passions. 

Accept that you like what you like.

Practice safe sex.

If you need "me time" then take some "me time." 

Never half-ass two things. Whole-ass one thing.

Don't jump into any relationships just because you're lonely. You deserve more than that.

Accept when certain people are poisonous to your life and move on.

Clean house, clear mind. 

Basically, take charge and be confident.
