Moving diaries 3 🚐✨⎮ Stepping out of my comfort zone

[@SummerClinton]

This series has been so real and it is amazing to see someone who is so willing to admit that not everything is easy all the time. Thank you!!

[@breaavril]

sometimes i feel weird for getting anxious about hanging out with people but you make me feel so understood 😭 you're so real and i appreciate your honesty and vulnerability in all of your videos

[@emiliaolsson6276]

I feel the same way❤

[@leahtison7082]

practicing how to say hi in the car ride over is the most real thing ever

[@AmazingTomato21]

The moving diaries is the most realistic series I’ve seen, it feels like just watching a friend. You’ve shown real feelings and experiences that people can actually relate to. Love this series Des!!🩷🩷🩷

[@shelliegoddard5629]

Hi Destiny - I love this series. I feel that you are doing an amazing job. Putting yourself out there is so difficult for us introverts. I am 64 years old and still have to talk myself up to do certain things. In a recent year, I bought concert tickets to a person that my husband and I both love, but we live in a teeny tiny town. Literally zero traffic and everyone knows each other. The concert was in San Francisco, 5 hours away. Both my husband and I very nearly talked ourselves out of going. We were so nervous about driving/parking/interacting with people in a big city. We had to talk each other up and tell ourselves that at any point, if we wanted to turn around and go home, we would. Long story short - the show was fabulous and we were both so happy we did it. Baby steps, and keep trying. Take care -

[@sarahchristine1088]

des as someone with major anxiety hearing you talk about your internal thoughts is so comforting. this age and season in life is crazy and can feel so isolating but it is so nice to see a youtuber that i love relate to me. so proud of you for putting yourself out there 🫶

[@AyeshaVerma-o5o]

I love how open she is about moving because it makes others feel welcome too!

[@aralettesbookshelf]

I also get really bad anxiety about going places alone and just being in public in general, and it's really comforting to know I'm not the only one! Love these videos sm! (:

[@zahrawwww]

Bestie des please never stop posting these moving dairies they are my comfort videos at this point 🫶🏻💓

[@emilyhansensoprano]

I just moved to a new city two weeks ago by myself - I don't know a SINGLE person here. I was so scared and my heart has been aching for comfort and familiarity and I can relate so much to everything in these moving vlogs. I've been pushing myself to do the same things (going places by myself, meeting new people, etc.) and it is so scary. It's been so comforting to sit down and watch someone going through the same thing as me. It's made me feel less alone, so thank you for being vulnerable and sharing this journey with us!!

[@jaelajoy717]

Something that has really helped me with feeling uncomfortable in new places and worrying about what people think of me is this. How often are you looking at others and judging them and thinking about what they’re doing?….. like never! Then I realized that that’s the same for everyone else, they don’t care about me or what I’m doing because they’re more worried about themselves. Realizing that nobody is thinking or worrying about me was really freeing.

[@Crybabygoose]

Destiny! You are 100% not alone. I get so nervous talking to people, even if I know them. Especially when I talk about myself. Going to places alone and talking to new people is nerve wracking! I asked a guy if I could pet his dog, he said yes! I was so excited and nervous I ended up walking away, thanking him, without ever petting his dog. I still think about that interaction a week later.

[@belle_ily7]

I’ve been loving these moving diaries 🫶🏻💖💖

[@mikaelareign3128]

the anxiety that comes with hanging out with people is SO real and so normal but it’ll get better over time! This series is so comforting bc I’ve also moved out on my own in Austin and even though i’ve been here for years for school, it feels like I’m starting all over again. You got this Destiny and hopefully I’ll run into you at some point at a bookstore or coffee shop :)

[@satannotsara]

I did a similar self challenge after I found a great therapist and started medication for my anxiety. Journaling was truly life changing and it helped me figure out how best to verbalize my feelings. It's magical how baby steps can slowly turn into larger and more confident steps! 💗

[@lulusemeraro8308]

These videos are so comforting. The way that you've allowed us to see the vulnerable parts of your moving journey but also the happy ones is so amazing. You are amazing Des!!!

[@alyssanunez3160]

I never comment on videos, but I’m about to go to college and live away from my family for the first time ever and it is helping so much to watch this series and see someone who’s struggles I can relate to, and it’s really inspiring to see you step out of your comfort zone!!

[@Jane_20406]

Hope everything goes well destiny!! Love your channel🌸🫶🏻🌸

[@ghwosti]

i feel so much better knowing someone else has this same feeling as me whenever i'm out alone. it really is terrifying but im proud that you did this!!

[@aliciawarren3670]

The way you explain how you think and/or how your brain works makes me feel not alone! And the way I also pick apart every single thing I say to people, oh my goodness girl I feel you. This whole video is everything I needed to hear and see, thank you! I hope you are enjoying your Texas adventures!

[@volxmar]

des is spoiling us with videos!!💗

[@baileys1260]

I loved this video!! I went 6 hours away from home for college with no friends or family and have felt so overwhelmed at times. I promise you it gets better you just have to keep putting yourself out there and trust that once you do it, it gets easier over time. I am so proud of you for openly talking about it and making others feel less alone!💕💕

[@JuliaPuso]

It's crazy how nobody is talking about the banned ebook on dating "Magnetic Aura" from Borlest

[@ellie014]

i love seeing you being awareness to (social) anxiety. knowing that there are others who think and act like this is so very reassuring. loving this series Destiny!

[@gachademoncookies649]

Destiny your literally my comfort KZbinr! I’m going into high school and Im very nervous and excited at the same time. I get anxious about socializing with new people aswell, so knowing I’m not the only one who feels like this makes me feel 10x better 😅 thanks for being real Des! ❤

[@melxnielong]

The rehearsal of introducing yourself was everything I needed today omg you’re so real for that 😭😭

[@ang.gut.7]

I was watching this video while I was packing up my room and my mom came in and said, “Oh hi!” And waved. When I explained that this was a KZbin video, she just said, “Oh. Well. Hi anyways!” So, hi from my mom!

[@Ellaoliver-sn1kj]

I LOVE this series!! Good job des ❤

[@teadesi]

I recommend Mozart's Coffee Roasters. It's a coffee shop by the lake and it's chill (if you go during the weekday). You can sit outside or inside. I also enjoyed Summer Moon coffee shops in the ATX area. But the traffic is one of the main reasons why I left TX!

[@emilymoore280]

I used to live in Austin and I recommend the Merit locations either on South Lamar across from shake shack or the one in the triangle off North Lamar!! Much bigger seating area and chiller vibes!! The triangle location has a lot of students cause it’s the closest to campus! Absolutely loving your austin videos!! 🫶

[@annepiddington8001]

Haley posting yesterday, Destiny Today!?!?! WE WON!!!

[@HiTechRedneck]

I stumbled across both of these awesome ladies separately, finding out they’re friends made me so happy

[@Cassandrareads]

I’m pretty sure this was when Haley filmed her video. She’s wearing the same shirt

[@simplygabby6162]

WE ARE BEING FEDDDDD WITH THE AMOUNT OF AMAZING VIDSSSS!!

[@Deeee__]

You’re literally so real Des,I couldn’t relate more it was so badass of you to tackle all these tasks on the same weekend I’m proud of you especially as someone who understands and relates to your fears immensely🫶🏻🫶🏻 here’s to getting out of our comfort zones and creating amazing experiences ✨

[@SarahLynn41697]

I literally feel so seen and understood when you talk about your anxiety 😭 never too vulnerable ❤️

[@halesreads]

Best thing I did this year was joining my local chapter of Silent Book Club. I've made so many friends since joining and I wish I'd known about it sooner. I can't stop telling everyone to join their local chapters. I've always been shy and even though I've lived in my city for almost 14 years, I never had friends to go do things with. It was so nice to go to SBC and feel comfortable around other people who just wanted to read and talk about books. I thought it would be scary or daunting and was nervous the whole ride but now I can't imagine my life without the book club or the new friends I've made. If you keep branching out, I can't recommend Silent Book Club enough to make friends who are also bookish and like reading as much as you! You're doing so good getting comfortable in your new city and I'm really proud of you!!

[@alexisn.k.789]

I've never heard of this! Is this a national thing?

[@julias997]

Essa série está tãooo boa estou amando acompanhar ❤‍🩹❤‍🩹 loving following you at this stage ✨💕

[@maddieschillreff2876]

des the whole friend part of this video was SO REAL. we are so similar and i felt so so seen. thank you for being so vulnerable💗

[@paigesbooked]

Girl I just want to say I appreciate you being vulnerable about friendships because I struggle making friends and I’m in a place where the friends that I did have moved away. I get so anxious thinking about even trying to meet new people. So knowing that someone else also struggles makes me feel less bad about myself.

[@ShannonLind-g2n]

This was my favourite video so far and I love the vulnerability. You make inspire me

[@alexisn.k.789]

I am so happy that you brought Charlie with you, I'm sure that has taken away at least some of the sadness of leaving home

[@NadiaVegaYT]

This has been my favorite video from your moving diaries. I also go over every detail, every conversation after hanging out with people, specially if I had adult beverages. I think there’s a term for it, hangxiety. It’s very real, it happens to me all of the time. Thank you for your vulnerability ❤

[@ItsMyrp]

Thank you for being so open and vulnerable with us. You might not have realized but this was so so relatable and helpful. It feels nice to know the things I’m sometimes feeling aren’t just bugging me. I’m so proud of you for having so much courage and I strive to be just like you on that regard ❤

[@juliaaisabel]

literally in tears over how proud i am of you. we’re the same age and i just became a nurse at the end of june, so right around the time you moved across the country. even if they’re different experiences, i know that we have similar feelings being outside of our comfort zone and having really big changes. these videos have been so helpful for me in this really big part of my life. thank you for being vulnerable as much as you are with us. i’m so happy for you des 💖

[@emma.bridget]

i LOVE the moving series!!🤩😍🥰

[@Sof_rha]

As someone who’s about to move out, this series has been an amazing motivation! Good on you for putting yourself out there!

[@Leilabug221]

I love how you say what your feeling because it feels like you are taking my fears and issues and diagnosing me😄 that sounds weird but I just mean that I'm such a shy and nervous person and I don't know how to tell people what's wrong or how I'm feeling but then you say exactly how I feel and i realize I'm not the only person feeling that way and now I know how to communicate it to other people. So thank you so much for just being yourself and sharing your amazing life with us!!❤️

[@KateMWhite]

You took the words right out of my brain! I feel the exact same way when meeting up with people. Over analyzing every interaction for the rest of the day is so real. We really are all in this together!

[@kimberlyholdiman89]

thank you for being so vulnerable, you are definitely not alone I am the same way. Everything you said about anxiety and going to new places and meeting up with people I can relate to 100% so thanks so much for being brave and putting yourself out there it has encouraged me to be courageous too!

[@poppycalliope]

I love how real and honest you are Destiny! You are truly inspiring 💌✨️

[@hollyperry7866]

I definitely agree with going little by little! I’m moving soon after never living anywhere but home so this is comforting to see someone close to my age experiencing the same thing💞

[@thegirlinspired]

I hope you feel really proud of yourself for all the things you did in this video. I’m the same as you when it comes to going places by myself, meeting new people and speaking to people. I massively overthink everything and more often than not I end up just staying at home and not seeing anyone as it’s just too much. You did amazing, especially considering you were filming bits of it too, that adds another layer of awkwardness/nerves to it. Well done! 👏

[@ambermashalreads]

This series is genuinely so wonderful as someone who is doing the exact same thing in about a month. Brings me peace to remember everything will be ok!

[@sp7361]

Des, this is such a real vlog. You sell yourself short, you made such good progress getting yourself out there. Think small steady steps instead of a big list of things to do. also, of course people like you! there 257k of us subscribed here. You just took a HUGE step moving out of your family home and away from them give yourself some grace xx

[@emmanoack13]

i appreciate you being vulnerable in videos like these SOOOO much, especially when it comes to anxiety. you have no idea how relatable all of your thoughts are surrounding these topics. thank you so much for sharing them with us! 🫶

[@rachelguez]

I LOVE this series Des! So nice to see vulnerable and real content. It’s also so cute you and Haley get to hang out and have mutual friends 🥹

[@kb_reads_and_makes_things]

DESTINY you have to understand how important this video is. I had planned to go to a craft thing and meet completely new people, and I was so nervous. I had just decided to give up when I sat down and watched this video. Seeing you go meet people and practice being uncomfortable made me feel like I could do it. I just got home from it, and it was so great. I joined a club! Social anxiety is so isolating. I'm so grateful for this content. I'm sure I'm not the only one. Thank you for being so vulnerable and open.

[@sullivanwengrowski5587]

Destiny, I watch every single one of your videos and you are such an amazing role model! This series specifically has been SO comforting because I’m about to leave for college. How you voice the anxiety that comes with leaving home is so relatable and truly brings me comfort. Ilysm and you’re amazing ❤❤❤❤

[@emerygraf1323]

I love you embracing your natural hair and your new life! Love you Des!!❤❤

[@hayleyrhein5598]

the way u explain your anxiety about going to new places is so so relatable and u make me feel so seen- this series is so fun and inspiring to follow along with!! proud of u :)

[@leticiamariah8689]

The going over conversations in your head after hanging out with someone is so relatable. Thanks for being so relatable 💕

[@KariChristineS]

love that you are getting involved in a good church group! I just moved to a new city too, and my church's young adults group has helped me so much and has given me such a sense of community. Love watching your videos, and I am praying for your transition into this new and scary season of life!

[@tove6165]

i’m so proud of u girl❤🎉

[@Kay_Anni]

I love how vulnerable and open you were in this video! I’ve never related so hard, my social anxiety has stopped me from what could been a great experiences, but all that we can do is keep trying and train ourselves to not be so hard on ourselves and being in our head so much! Thank you for being my comfort channel ❤

[@simona412]

i love this series so so much. doing things on your own is so difficult and most people just don’t understand this struggle. im so so proud of you for stepping out of your comfort zone. this video gave me so much confidence to also try to do things on my own. ily des

[@emmaskapetis7603]

You're so relatable. I also find it hard to talk to people because I've always been a quiet person and I get nervous sometimes. Great vlog as always💕.

[@CulturedAlmondMilk]

As a fellow anxious all-around ball, can’t appreciate this video and you enough!!!! Noise-canceling is one of my biggest support mate as well 😂🥲💙

[@kartikapalani1417]

I love your videos destiny! ❤I have a video idea! Do a cozy bookstore vlog of just like going to every mom and pop or indie bookstore in ur new town

[@tristenmoreno846]

We need more series like this! Seeing I’m not the only who feels like that makes it feel less alone and that I can do that too. I really enjoyed it and I’m glad your able to take those steps too❤

[@waterlilly09]

I am currently living the exact same thing, mooving, discovering a new place.... And watching you getting out of your comfort zone helps me a lot to do the same.

[@Regpeg12]

Destiny I am so proud of you! The phase of life we’re in is so intimidating and seeing you be brave and do little things and have them go well is so inspiring!

[@mmabelmm22]

I'm in a new city too and got so anxious at the coffee shop today 😭 Love the realness!

[@perriner8120]

I usually don't comment on videos but I just had to say thank you for being so vulnerable ! I already knew i wasn't the only one highly struggling with social interaction especially with stranger, but I thought I was so weird for also being anxious about talking to friends and people i'm quite comfortable with! I will literally sometimes go days without answering their most basic text and try to get out of seeing them because it makes me feel anxioux, even though i know i always end up having a good time with them. So thanks for putting this out there:) And when it comes to going to new places alone, it's definitly something you have to train, I use to struggle with that but was kind of obligated to do so cause i didnt have many friends to hang out with but didn't want to wait for people to live my life. Now even if i still get a little anxiety, i love doing everything by myself, it's so liberating. To everyone reading this, be gentle with yourself and remember you are not alone :)

[@kyliebarsam3493]

Honestly I have been loving all your moving diaries - being vulnerable makes me feel less alone because I deal with all these things as well❤ your not in it alone❤

[@trinityschaefer6963]

this video is so relatable because i’m moving right outside of austin this month and it’s so scary

I resonate so much with replaying conversations over and over again even if it’s with people I’m comfortable with!! Loving this series ❤

[@lesliealmanza3088]

I love these videos you’ve been doing des. I deal with a lot of similar feeling like you and this brings a lot of comfort to know I’m not alone.

[@WendysInspiredReads]

I so appreciate your honestly and vulnerability. I struggle with anxiety in different ways and it’s refreshing to see someone so honest ❤❤ Also I wish I lived close so I could be your friend! You’re doing great!

[@brittlebritt9732]

Thank you for sharing your anxious experiences, you're not alone Des. It's hard out here for anxious girlies!!

[@danaorozco3247]

as someone who recently started college and absolutely HATES doing things on my own, it was refreshing to see and hear you talk about things i also relate with. this was the motivation and inspiration i needed to also branch out on my own! love this series, but especially this ep, thank you for the pep talk 🫶🏻🫶🏻

[@maddyweyman]

So proud of you for moving to a new place and putting yourself in a mindset to grow💗💗

[@coraleeh1104]

i get really anxious about talking to people and doing the little things like you do so it was so validating to see you going through the same thing 😭 the talking to yourself in the car and rehearsing was so real because me

[@Sequoyahreads]

I am literally the same way. I am proud of you for being so raw and vulnerable!! You got thee bestie

[@bonniemae1397]

You are so inspiring and I greatly appreciate being able to relate to you and hearing you be vulnerable 🥹

[@abbiehonkala7757]

I’m going to college soon and your videos are helping me so much!! Just knowing that other people have the same thoughts as me is very helpful!

[@laurennichelson2509]

Loving the series! I feel the same way when I hang out with people as well! So proud of you! I took my 5 month old to Costco today for her first grocery shopping trip and it was a success too! I’m always so scared of being an inconvenience if she cries in public and I know I shouldn’t feel that way. Baby steps!! ❤❤❤

[@dilynpearson864]

i'm honestly so happy you're being vulnerable in this whole series. i am the same exact way with making new friends & doing things alone or going new places alone. you're not alone in feeling like this & thank you for sharing your feelings on things that should be normalized!! you're one of my favorite influencers & i appreciate you using your platform the way you do all the time.💌💌

[@allhailvale]

Thank you for being so transparent and real! I’ve lived in the same area for a few years now but still get anxious stepping out of my comfort zone with meeting new people and trying new places or being alone somewhere so this video is so relatable! So proud of you Des 🤍

[@lucycanread]

im so excited for you to get more comfortable with your own company - its honestly the best feeling ever & the more comfortable you are away from other people ironically the more sure of yourself you become and therefore it becomes easier to make new friends :D it's such a nice cycle

[@melodycollis]

I never want this series to end 💕🫶🏼🥰

[@carolineblack934]

I love your moving diaries! 🤍🤍 I’m so proud of how you’re doing during this move 😘 but I actually have a book question: what are your top 3 fave books (preferably standalone books) I’m asking my fave booktubers for their top books so I can add them to my TBR 🤍🤍🤍

[@MadalynFales]

Good for you, Destiny! Don't be afraid of change... it is easier said than done. I have anxiety and it's so easy to stay where you're comfortable even if it's not a healthy space. Praying for you!

[@zoetubes]

This series is making me feel seen🤭 It's so encouraging to watch you go through these scary and anxious situation, and become more confident and sure in yourself! Thank you Des, for sharing your vulnerable sides, it's so refreshing🥰

[@Littlepqueenie]

This is soooo relatable! Thank you for sharing and being vulnerable. I just moved to TN and I feel the exact same way.

[@hannahpurd]

I’ve loved this vlog so much! As someone who gets the exact same feelings and thoughts and social anxiety it’s nice to know I’m not alone. ❤ I think you did SO amazing with the exposure to things that feel scary xx
