Remember that TikTok trendwhere people posted their unique and Koreasometimes embarrassing fun facts to Olivia Rodrigo’s “enough for you”? Now, a new trend on TikTokis inspiring users to share their childhood photographs as a reminder to be kinder to oneself.
The sound, created by user @framveu, is a mashup of "Me and My Husband" by Mitski and "Apocalypse" by Cigarettes After Sex. As of June 15, the audio has been used in 103,200 TikToks.
The TikToks typically start with a text that says something similar to “being mean to myself and then realizing I’m also talking about [pronoun],” followed by baby or childhood picture(s) of the user. People are being reminded to give themselves the same grace that they would give to their childhood selves, and it’s pretty wholesome.

People have also been using the sound to bring awareness to sensitive topics such as eating disorders, self-harm, struggles with self-doubt, and insecurities about physical appearances. The trend is not only a reminder of self-compassion, but one of growth and solidarity.

Here’s to healing the inner child in all of us.
