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.

What society we're living in where being a taxi driver is something to be sorry for?!

Taxi drivers do am important job. (I'd be lost without my taxi drivers).
Viviane 4 years ago (edited)
We found a lovely temporary employee thanks to a taxi driver. He asked my boss and an employee what they did, they explained their jobs -- it turned out the driver's daughter was looking for work in the same field and my boss needed extra help. We interviewed and hired his daughter.Good job, Dad! And daughter, too. She later got a permanent job in a different department. Sad to see her go, but very happy for her.

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.

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.
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.

Kathryn Baylis 4 years ago (edited)
I was 51 when I was finally able to go to college. A 51 year old freshman, sitting in classes with 18 year olds. People young enough to be my kids—-or even grandkids by a small stretch! None of whom ever made me feel like an outsider or oddball (“one of these things is not like the others, one of these things just doesn’t belong”…). In fact, many came to want me in their group, whenever group projects were assigned. Best thing was that being around them has kept me from stagnating and being an old fogie. It’s always good to be around people of ALL ages, not just your own age cohorts. Keeps you young.

This always bugged me, seems like the perfect place to vent. I was starting a new job, we got split into 2 training teams. My group was all "young" bar 1 lady who I'd put at late 40s (S) . She sat next to me, she was a little shy but cheery. Manager (M) came in and said "we need one more person for other team (mixed ages)". M said "uh, how about you S?", S "I'm quite happy here" I (25 at the time) volunteered so did a young guy. M "Uh, no if you just come with me S". Ageism at it's finest. S actually said she was happy, M decided he knew best - and to call her out in front of everyone was infuriating.

JASH80 3 years ago (edited)
do you see that you're actually adding to the problem with this post? You point out how beautiful her nose, cheekbones and smile are, by excluding her body from this list you are actually stating that her body is NOT beautiful. And that is exactly the issue. If someone says they're embarrassed because of their weight and you start pointing out how pretty their hair is you just confirm that their body is something to be embarrassed about. Because it translates to "yes, but your hair on the other hand..".

"If you want to be happy for the rest of your life, never make a pretty woman your wife; so for my personal point of view, get an ugly girl to marry you." One of my favorite songs from my childhood. she's a beautiful bride, and probably more beautiful on the inside.
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.

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.
Kathryn Baylis 4 years ago (edited)
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.

When you love someone, you do whatever is necessary to keep them healthy and make them comfortable, because you LOVE them, regardless of their species. I saw an animal show years ago, where a family adopted a bulldog with ataxia—-the condition where they’re really wobbly, and have trouble with balance. Can’t remember if the dog had been in a shelter a long time (after being rescued or turned in) or was rescued from a breeder that was going to put him down, but he had previously been labeled unadoptable. About a year after adopting him, the mom had a baby. You know, even though the baby’s room was on the second floor and the dog had trouble going up and down the stairs, he would get himself up those stairs every single day to stand guard on the floor next to the crib. Devotedly protecting his pack’s new puppy. Now that’s what I call LOVE.

Doesn't matter. All of mine have been rescues. They still love unconditionally.
Kathryn Baylis 4 years ago (edited)
Same here, and some of them have been somewhat difficult or had their difficult moments. But they have still loved us unconditionally and we loved them back just as much, and miss them terribly when they pass. (Only a couple weeks ago, we had to take our almost 19 and a half year old cat to the vet and have him out to sleep. We adopted him when he was 9 weeks old. He had been failing for a couple weeks, and took a nosedive that day. Though we knew it was just a matter of time until Bazzy would be gone, it still tore us up to say goodbye. We still feel the hole in our family, as do our other pets—-3 more cats and a dog. We had a really long relationship with Baz, as he was a part of our family for almost 20 years. We’re doing OK, adjusting to only putting down 4 food bowls instead of 5, and other little Bazzy things we used to do. We’ve been though this before, so we’ll be fine.)

You have your grandmother’s eyes, and your grandfather’s mouth and chin. I bet they can tell you which long ago relatives you look like too. It’s so cool to think that, if you could time travel and went back to when that relative was your age, you’d look like twins! I have always liked the idea of identical faces popping up again in families, either next generation or after many generations (I have my mother’s face, but with my father’s hair color and skin tone). Like history repeating itself, but in a good way.

I am so sorry this lovely cheerful man was upset by some rude and nasty asshole. People need to realize that we choose our actions and reactions in every situation, whether we’re conscious of it or not. There truly is no need to be nasty to anyone, even if they’re nasty to you first. Have some class, take the high road, and lead by example (I bet this man kept his cool and didn’t return the nastiness, which is why he needed to take a moment and get some fresh air afterward). When you do that, most of the time others will follow your lead, and the atmosphere in the room lightens up and changes for the better. If they don’t follow your lead, then they’re the ones who are remembered as the assholes, not you.

Kids don’t care how old you are, how fit you are, how rich you are, how good-looking you are, or even how “cool” you are.

Nothing to be ashamed of, but please stop calling every "defect" beautiful or good. It is not. It's not even normal, and I don't mean this in a judgy way. It sounds really weird when someone says deaf is beautiful as if it was some weird kind of fetish.

I have no idea what he means by “deformity”, because I don’t see one. But I bet back in school, some asshole kid made fun of some small something (that was actually a nothing) about his face, making him incredibly self-conscious about an imaginary “deformity”, and that blow to his self-esteem has stuck with him ever since. The old “sticks and stones” saying was dead wrong. Words can hurt, just not where it shows.

Who TF said a single dad can’t act as host and chaperone for a teen party? There are plenty of dads, single and married, who can plan great—-and totally age-appropriate—-parties for their kids (and plenty of others who haven’t realized they can yet). That includes cooking and baking the food for it. And they can do it better than a SAHM, who even has more time to do it all.

From the pictures, it doesn’t look like they live in a shack, so I can’t see where their home is an issue.

FFS, if that’s the only issue, then instead of badmouthing the poor guy, and depriving his daughter of having friends over, then they should f*****g volunteer to help him chaperone a damn party, or invite him to do so at parties they throw for their own kids!

Take him out of school. I bet he''s motivated to learn at home while you find another school place for him.

Kathryn Baylis 4 years ago (edited)
I had problems in high school too, though for different reasons (between 9th and 11th grade, I was teased because I was chubby, plus kind of awkward). My oldest brother sat down with me and told me that I just needed to remember that high school is temporary. That it’s a big world, full of all kinds of people, and that once I graduated and went out into it, I would find countless numbers of people who would love me just they way I am, and never even think of being cruel or forcing me to change. Plus, once I left high school. I would be amazed at just how little I would even think of it, even though it felt so all-consuming right then. Not to mention how little what I was going through would end up seriously affecting the rest of my life. He was right. High school was over in a flash, and my life became my own, to fill with people I chose to be around, which would make dealing with the assholes so much easier. This WILL happen to you too. So just don’t listen to the assholes, concentrate on keeping your grades up, and graduate. After that, the world will be your oyster.

In “Streetcar Named Desire”, Blanche DuBois has a line that resonates, “Physical beauty is passing. A transitory possession.” What’s on the outside matters little, in comparison to what’s on the inside, and some pretty outsides are merely a thin veneer over some really fugly insides. Just tune out those fugly people’s words, and ask yourself a few in depth, soul searching questions. Are you a good, kind, gentle man, who always knows how to make her feel good when she’s down? Are you a man who will be a good and loving husband and father? Most importantly, is she as absolutely crazy about you as you are about her? Then who TF cares what either of you look like? If anybody mentions it, tell them to f**k off and quit being so damn jealous of your solid loving relationship. But if it’s really bugging you, just remember this: the two of you will grow old, together, and wrinkles will form on your faces—-and the world will look on how loving you are with each other, and wish they were even half as happy as you two are.

My husband apologized for being fat. I said "like my a** is going to be on the cover of Sports Illustrated hiding a bikini in the folds of my gut with my glistening double chin in the sun. Puh-Leez don't apologize."

I think it might be a picture of the father/child when the child was younger.. xP

Absolutely nothing wrong with the way he looks! He’s obviously a wonderful father and, believe me, that’s way more important—-and attractive—-than being handsome and “ripped” but a really pisspoor father.

I'd rather walk with him to the store. "You see this man! He's my Dad. You mess with me and he will F*** you up!!" Walk tall, chest puffed out!

Her face is cute. And she looks like she’d be a blast to hang out with!

My sister has been heavy her whole life. She felt embarrassed at first. Now her and I weigh the same and we look like twins. She's now adopted "I dgaf what you think" attitude towards people that judge others by their weight. If they have a problem with it...then their brain has an issue, not my waist.

Men are constantly being pressured to be more muscular, it's as bad as women being told to be skinny
Kathryn Baylis 4 years ago
So what? Listen, Frank Sinatra was famously skinny when he was a young man. But he was also considered a sex symbol. Besides, as he got toward middle age, he gained weight and finally filled out—-and became a silver fox.

As someone whos skinny, short, and as white as snow. You got one heck of a boyfriend. Skinny people are awesome! -i dunno if this seems rude or not-

Yep, looks like a potential foster fail to me. (Is that a scar from his nose to his left eye? If it is, it’s a really flimsy reason for people to not want to scoop him up and take him home to love and keep safe and secure for the rest of his life.)

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.

Deafness is a wonderful thing that should be honored and respected
Carol Emory 4 years ago
My son is slowly becoming deaf. He's scared no one will want to be with him because they won't know how to talk to him. I told him we will learn sign language together and eventually he will meet someone that will communicate with him on his level or at least be willing to learn. The right person will love him for who he is, not what they want him to be.

Pitbull is a very handsome man, in my opinion. If your dad looks like him, then WOW!
JayWantsACat 4 years ago
I like that this isn't the dad fishing for compliments, it's that he know Pitbull is (relatively) embarrassing. It's a good joke, not just a dad joke.

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.

sorry to be the Debbie Downer here but a) a lot of men do NOT think that their partner is the prettiest, and that is absolutely fine. It's about love, not about being with the bestlooking person and b) I am sure that a lot of people do not consider her beautiful at all. Or let's put it that way, it's impossible to say what she really looks like under those huge fake lashes, the clownesque makeup.. I get the urge of women to call others "oh so beautiful" as either encouragement or to avoid being seen as jealous but please, don't exaggerate to a point where it becomes a farce..

Got to say that prettier means sod all in a relationship. It is about who you love not about who is prettier. I love my GF and she may not be some top model, but she is beautiful, wonderful and all mine :)

I don't know about that. I would say you couldn't be more wrong on this statement.
wifeofweasley 4 years ago
did you know that insecurities can arise regardless of appearance? Many people may think she's pretty (I do too) but if she stuggles with self esteem issues or dismorphia or whatever it's still valid. Saying she shouldn't mouth her insecurities just because she's conventional pretty is just rude

What do you think ?
JASH80 3 years ago
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
Joyce Blodgett 2 years ago
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.

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

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.
