35 Heartwarming Submissions For The “You’re Enough” TikTok Trend Inspiring People To Show How Much They Appreciate Their Loved Ones
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.

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.
RELATED:
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.

Different generations often get on well together. Sharing of Life's experiences.
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.

Because age limits what you can do. It looks like he is in ill health and likely feels a bit like he is missing out or a burden. Not saying that is righ, just why one may feel that way

My father had me when he was a lot older. Hardest thing about it was when he died a few years ago and it hit me that he would never met my children. One of the most important and impressive people I have ever known and it kills me so much my kids won't know him. Only hard thing about having an older parent. You sometimes don't get to have important experiences with them.

I’m 60, and was my parents’ Surprise! fifth child. Totally unexpected because my mother was 40 (born 1920) and my father was 43 (born 1917). My oldest brother is 18 years older than me, and when I was little he was often mistaken for my father. Anyway, while it’s true that older parents can’t do all the more energetic things with their young kids, they ARE experienced enough to prevent a lot of stuff getting out of control (like their child acting up in public and bothering everybody else, for example). My parents also kept stuff from their childhoods and marriage, so read me stories out of antique books, and told me stories from WWII, the Great Depression, and the Roaring Twenties. Probably the reason I’ve always been a history buff. Different experience from my friends, but pretty damn cool nonetheless. My only regret is not having a chance to get to know my grandparents when I became an adult, as they were all gone by the time I was 20.

It takes a very thoughtful person to say sorry for something like this. Most parents are too arrogant to say sorry to their kids for much worse things than this. This man seems like a good man and I hope he gets better and has more time with his daughter

I mean my parents are much older than me, they're 70 and 69, while I'm 33. But I love them anyway and I still have them!

My dad died at 59, definitely didn't expect to lose him at such an early age - I'd very much rather still have him even if he was 109 and barely knew who I was anymore

I was 23 when my 75 year old father passed - i'm his 8th child at that. I always felt the age difference between my dad and my friends' dads, and I am so sad he was taken so soon. But he was everything I ever needed, and no one could ever replace him
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!

It's so sad to see someone's spirit crushed like this. Keep it up, chef!

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. :)

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.

Even if he looked like a scruffy mut, it's nicer when dad is there.

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.

I don't like the wording "you're enough". Maybe it's because I don't understand the real meaning of it as I'm not a native english speaker but somehow it feels like they are saying "you're enough, but no more than that". Why not say "you're great the way you are"? To me, enough sounds like they barely passed the bar

Because "You're enough" means that the person (or animal) is absolutely all that their partner or child needs, that they don't have to be something else or different just to "fit in." It's a very nice thing for anyone to hear---at least, to those of us who are native speakers of English---and isn't the least bit of a negative thing to say. I hope that helps clarify what they're all saying.

I know my son is embarrassed of me. I am not enough and that's okay, I can't be everything for everyone.

Why would they crop it from 36 pics to 35, that's unnecessary and mean!

You're enough seems like an insult. To me "you're more than you know" would fit the sentiment better.

How does it seem like an insult? I'm confused.

Most of us don't care about our family flaws. We still love them no matter how weird and annoying they are. Nobody is perfect. That imperfection makes us perfect.
