This is a Japanese legend, the thousands paper cranes.

This is the most depressing one .. The boy actually died?

Sadako...

F**k I'm crying

In the legend, the girl Sadako tries to fold 1000 but dies in the hospital before she can make enough.

This hits me hard

So much for 4 leaf clovers.

we’re so busy trying to make a living that we trample on our chance at happiness 😭

To busy with a goal to find the little bits of luck

So busy and hurried he doesn't see the little four leaf clovers or blessings in life. Destroyed as he walks through life..

Too exhausted to wind myself up again for the world.

Omg!!! this is the clearest description of my depression I have ever seen. Looks simple, is not. *applauds the artist*

"Most people do not want freedom, because freedom has responsibility and most are afraid of that responsibility."

Far too exhausted to function anymore

Exhausted But Successful🤔

Hard to keep the Demons inisde

Force my emotions back down, everything is fine, everything is fine.

Don’t let those demons out

Healing power of nature.

Nurse, I'll need a weed wacker!

The dark side of all this lovely, easy to access social media

Angler fish from Hell

When we become the bait

Or another darker interpretation is their parents are they type of couple so in love with each other the child gets forgotten and seen as little more than an accessory.

love is what holds a child's life in a family. let it go, and they will be lost.

Mother is the one who holds the string, still the boy is clinging to his father's clothes. Also, father is holding mother's arm - supporting her or maybe preventing her from releasing the string? I see it as a family where one of parents may be more prone to showing its feelings but also isn't very mentally or emotionally stable. This love, while needend and honest, may also be destructive - that's why there is a string tied to child's neck. It is the other parent, maybe more firm and cold at first glance, who is trying to put the family together. I think the child knows it and it is why he sticks to its father. He knows that he needs both - feelings from his mother and safety from his father.

its kinda like of they let go, because they probably divorce,the kid is the one that suffers since he is going to hang from the balloon

My interpretation is that the balloon is helium and the parents love and togetherness is what is keeping him from flying away.

Help those who are weak

Some are emotionally and with stress tougher than others..

Grow a think skin, don't wear your heart on your sleeve. I personal dislike this saying, it means you have no passion for what you do and you're just collecting a paycheck.

The rat race kills.

To survive the corporate world you gotta have thick skin

okay this one made me emo :(

With who else?
