Little girl’s inspiring message about never giving up is even moving adults: ‘Don’t let sadness…’
Sometimes, the clearest truths come from the youngest voices. In a short video posted by @alongcameabby, a little girl named Abby shared a few simple words that resonated with millions. The video was a 30-second clip of inspiration, and the internet took every bit of it, every bit of just Abby, speaking to the camera. She appears to be clear about so many things that adults are confused about. “You know what? You’ve been doing great,” she says. “Don’t be upset. Look at how far you’ve come. You kept going, even when it was a lot. It’s okay if you’re sad. Just don’t let sadness stop you from your happiness.”
In just a few seconds, she managed to say what many spend years trying to learn: that it’s okay to be sad, but that shouldn’t stop us from reaching for joy. With childlike clarity, she advised us to notice how far we’ve come and to keep choosing happiness, even when it doesn’t come easily. The video quickly drew an outpouring of love and reflection from viewers. In the comments, people shared how much Abby’s words meant to them, some even calling her a future motivational speaker. @Emma Robinson wrote, “Words of wisdom by Abby, ‘Don’t let sadness stop you from your happiness.’ Superstar.” @Cårlyhöpexo added, “Don’t let sadness stop you from your happiness. Honestly, this child!”@user3061295375396 commented, “She’s unbelievable. Inspirational speaker here she comes!”
@erin said, “Don’t let sadness stop you from your happiness, this girl gets it! Cutest lil girl ever.” @megglesonrye chimed in with, “Can Abby come to the Grateful Dead show with me? Something tells me she will have the best time.” This isn’t the first time the internet has paused in awe at the unexpected wisdom of children. Real friendship is something many adults still struggle to define, but 3-year-old Emi might have figured it out already. In this very wholesome story featured on The Daily Net, Emi reflects on her bond with her best friend Frankie while riding home from preschool. Her words about love, closeness, and understanding between friends touched nearly a million hearts. In the video featured, she stood by the fact that friendship goes beyond just playing together; it's about feeling connected, caring for one another, and finding happiness in each other’s presence.
Then there’s Miles, a little boy who managed to impress none other than Rihanna with his thoughts on confidence and overthinking. In a sweet video, which was featured on the TikTok channel Reccess Therapy, the singer asked Miles what he does when he doesn't feel confident. His answer? “Being kind and brave.” But what really stood out was his simple solution to overthinking: “Just look at everything around you… Then you’re barely thinking.” In a world where mindfulness is a million-dollar industry, Miles gave a beautifully straightforward answer, one that resonated with millions, including the pop icon herself. What these three children, Abby, Emi, and Miles, definitely have in common is their ability to tap into emotions with raw honesty and surprising clarity.
