While some people identify possibly problematic themes with this, for me it was quite moving. My family in particular have always seen this version of me that I never saw, especially not when I was suffering from depression and only seeing myself as someone who didn't deserve happiness, and once I started therapy it made it easier for me to start appreciating myself more. They saw the person it would take me a very long time to give myself permission to discover.

This reminds me of that.

Yeah this seems to be more “even when you’re feeling down about yourself, you’re still loved and valued.” At least that’s the message I got from it.

Though I can see how it can be interpreted as toxic positivity for others.
