Historically, releasing balloons has been a meaningful way to symbolically honor someone's life, celebrate special occasions, to raise awareness for a cause or even just for a photo op.

More recently, however, people are being urged to stop releasing balloons into the air and opt for other means of celebration.

TikToker @prairiejess (Jess) created a video to show exactly why.

Jess, who has a farm in Texas, gave viewers a glimpse of where these released balloons can end up, and honestly, it's pretty eye-opening.

As the creator walked outside toward a fence filming her farm with all her animals, she shared a story about being in a store with a woman who was purchasing balloons to release on her deceased mother's birthday.

"So imma tell you right now, I don't care if this video pisses you off."
"I was at the Dollar Store a couple of weeks ago and this lady's buying balloons and they say 'Happy Birthday.'"

Jess then revealed the woman shared her intentions, and y'all, Jess gives it to you straight.

She told the woman:

“Oh, you shouldn’t release them."
"You know, those will wind up in pastures and animals could eat them.”

When the woman said she was going to do it anyway, Jess unloaded a harsh - yet truthful - fact.

"I hate to tell you people this, but your dead mama or dead relative in Heaven ain't getting those balloons."

The camera then panned to her fence, and Jess revealed:

"This is where they end up - right here, in my yard."

Jess picked up a shiny gold balloon near her animals.

“So, hot take on that: Your dead relative in Heaven doesn’t need any f**king balloons."

You can watch the TikTok below.

dead people don't need balloons and I told her that #texasfarm #littering #dextercattle #cutebutedible #farmproblem

While a couple of viewers did give Jess a hard time for criticizing others' grieving processes, most thanked her for spreading awareness about the ongoing situation.

Hopefully Jess' video - which has been viewed nearly 850k times by the way - will cause others to think twice about releasing balloons and perhaps choose a more environmentally friendly way to pay their respects.

Trump Blasted After Warning Gas Stations To Drop Prices 'Immediately' In Threatening Social Media Rant

President Donald Trump was criticized after telling gas retailers that they need to lower their prices to $2.50 per gallon "immediately" or face "big problems," prompting many critics to suggest he is panicking as discontent toward his administration grows amid fallout over the Iran war and a nationwide affordability crisis.

A recent Gallup poll found that 55 percent of respondents felt their finances were worsening, a level of pessimism exceeding that seen during both the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2008 financial crisis. This comes as the highly unpopular war in Iran continues to rage, sending gas prices surging. Americans have spent an additional $59 billion on fuel since Trump launched the war.

For a franchise about a toy cowboy, a delusional space ranger, and a potato with removable facial features, Toy Story has never been particularly concerned with strict realism. Yet somehow, a mixed-race child with curly hair in Toy Story 5 is what sent parts of MAGA into full meltdown mode.

In the latest installment of Pixar's beloved franchise, audiences are introduced to Blaze Manoukian, a young girl who lives on a farm, loves animals, and becomes an important part of Bonnie's story. Blaze is also Disney's first half-Black, half-Armenian character.

Last Week Tonight host John Oliver mocked Fox News host Jesse Watters for sharing unverified video of alleged "vandals" of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and claiming that liberal media would claim that the people who were seen reaching into the pool "dropped their wedding ring."

The renovation of the Reflecting Pool has become a debacle, marked by recurring algae blooms, workers resorting to pouring hydrogen peroxide into the water to combat the problem, and a political blame game in which some Republicans have attempted to pin responsibility for the mess on Democrats.

Pete Buttigieg Opens Up About 'Darkest Hours' After Being Separated From His Kids Due To False Abuse Allegations

Former Democratic President Joe Biden's Secretary of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg, posted on Friday about the ordeal he, his husband Chasten Glezman Buttigieg, and their 4-year-old twins endured after someone targeted them with false abuse accusations.

Buttigieg described the attack as similar to a swatting, a dangerous form of criminal harassment/domestic terrorism in which a perpetrator makes a false report of a dangerous emergency to law enforcement in the hopes that SWAT or a similar heavily armed tactical unit will attack the home. Multiple people have died as a direct result of swatting incidents.
