Sometimes even the most confident and cheerful people get a bit down and start to question whether they are good enough. That is why it is so important to surround yourself with people who wish you only the best and will find the right words to say when you need a little bit of encouragement.

TikTok users understand this on another level as they are demonstrating their appreciation to certain people publicly by joining a trend now dubbed “You are enough” as it uses the song of the same name by Sleeping At Last. The trend is all over the app and the videos are collecting hundreds of thousands of views.

More info: TikTok

The song You Are Enough was first released in 2014 by singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Ryan O'Neal as a part of the musical project Sleeping At Last. The song was a success then, but now it has been revived once again and became one of the most important components of the popular TikTok trend.

    Oh god, that is heartbreaking. Imaging being so full of self doubt that you feel the need to apologize for being you.

    I'd say her actual DAD did show up. He just wasn't the sperm donor.

    Your stepdad was there for you, and that's the important thing.

    This is exactly why I still take issue with my Dad (who is actually my stepdad) referring to my biological father as "your dad." Like, no...*you're* my Dad! And he always will be. My Mom passed away a few years ago and my Dad recently got remarried...but he's still more my Dad than my bio-father ever was.

    Shared DNA does not automatically make someone a parent. The real parent is the person who does all the heavy lifting; putting in the love, time, effort, joy and heartbreak, making all the sacrifices, and paying all the expenses (may sound cold to mention, but hell, you can’t live on love alone), and everything else that goes into raising a child. The one who shares DNA with the kid, but never does the heavy lifting, is merely a sperm or egg donor. A very immature one, and not at all parent material.

    I think she knows who her dad really is (and it's not the guy who keeps not showing up!)

    The template of the trend consists of two parts: firstly, a written text on the screen in which a person that is important to you complains about something they shouldn’t is shown. Secondly, when the lyrics reach the part in which the words ‘you’re enough’ are repeated, the image changes and the person in question is shown to convince them they are indeed perfect the way they are.

    Children are saying that their parents are enough, no matter what their age or size are. Husbands, wives, boyfriends and girlfriends are persuading their significant others that they don’t need to worry about anything and they love them the way they are.

    These TikToks are really wholesome and people watching may shed a tear or two. However, TikTok wouldn’t be the way it is if a trend stayed so serious. Many people took it and made jokes about how others are insecure about their appearance and photoshopped them to make them really exaggerated. But in this list only the true wholesome videos were included.

    People need approval from others even if they are convinced that the opinion of others doesn’t mean anything to them. After all, a kind word never hurt anybody. But what do you think of this trend? Did it remind you of a person you would want to say the same thing to? And which of these entries did you like the most? Tell us about it and don't forget to upvote them!

    My aunt would love this. She rehomes retired horses so they can live their best life without having to work.

    It's sad that people are worried about appearances... And big applause for the "grandma" for taking up a responsibility of raising a young child/teen. I hope you're both happy and thriving. :)

    I'm sorry, I don't see any deformity. Just a proud dad and his pretty daughter.

    Said this in another similar posting; learn sign language and have uber private conversations, even in a crowd. It can be like having your own private, intimate world to go to together, that nobody else can enter.

    Yeah, but they’re not HIS idea of prettiest—-YOU are!!! You’re actually just about anybody’s idea of beautiful, tbh. Plus, you’ve got “that certain something” about you that makes you just perfect to, and for, him. Just don’t let yourself get all hung up on not looking like all the “prettier” girls—-whose pretty outsides might be hiding some really fugly insides, btw. Their looks are common and considered desirable right now, but styles and concepts of beauty change, and one day their looks might be considered “blah”. Look at pictures of people considered beautiful throughout different periods in history, if you don’t believe me. Cultivating beauty that fits you makes you unique, and tending to your inner beauty will give you a beautiful glow—-both of which will make you even more beautiful than those “prettier” girls could ever even dream to be.
