A new trend is sweeping TikTok, and users say it’s life-changing.

TikTok user @hannaheyeager shared a video discussing something called the “funeral theory,” which she says completely shifted her perspective on life.

In the video, black text reads, “A funeral director once explained the funeral theory, and I didn’t realize it would change my entire outlook and my life.”

The caption dives deeper, adding, “At the average funeral, only ten people cry. Ten. That’s it. You spend your whole life pushing, striving, breaking your heart open for people, holding it all together … and in the end, only ten people are emotionally impacted enough to cry.”
