THATS MY BDAY BESTIE!

[@Maddie-lf5tt]

Hi Sara 💕

[@SophieJayne]

miss you are quite literally sunshine in human form

[@sarasafira8034]

As a gurly with anxiety, I love the way you talk openly about your anxiety. It really helps me feel better and just appreciated ❤

[@leoniemorell6748]

Same!!

[@AleenaSaf]

FRRR🫶🏽

[@allison.garcia]

100%

[@e4mi]

100% I have OCD (panic disorder) and it makes me feel better when people talk about anxiety because, obviously i relate, but it also effects everything we do. vlogging, reading, working out etc.

[@siennakay3922]

me too .)

[@alsbookshelf]

for every vulnerable comment you make, there is a little girl out there feeling that way, and you are such a beautiful role model and advocate for those little girls. you are never alone and neither are they. sweet girl

[@kksartfilms2385]

Yes! it helps me knowing other people go through the same thing!

[@ellarose.readss]

As a long vlog lover, I don’t think you over talk AT ALL. If people think you do, there’s a ‘skip 10 secs’ button and a playback speed option for a reason! They’re not forced to sit and watch your content! You’ve inspired me to be more chatty and more “myself” in my reading vlogs so THANK YOU💕

[@readingwkatelyn]

UR WEEKLY VLOGS LITERALLY FEEL LIKE COMING HOME

[@tessatornetto7069]

Fr tho, I open my phone and see the notification and it literally makes my day!

[@sincerelymadigrace]

so so real

[@beccac6812]

I love how your family and boyfriend embrace all your “things” : books, Taylor, pink: it shows so much love ❤

[@haileysherman9668]

The negative things hitting harder than positive things is actually so real. Scientifically it takes 5 positive things/interactions/etc to counteract 1 negative thing for our brains. That is partly why your thought patterns & self talk are so important.

[@heathertowe6280]

I'm 45 yrs old with anxiety and I absolutely love building Lego sets, working on jigsaw puzzles,doing paint by numbers and reading. Never feel weird for wanting to build Legos.

[@sophiec.5939]

I normally don’t comment- but as an anxious 16 year old girly who has recently started running, I want to assure you that every one of the things you feel like we don’t want to listen to are our FAVORITES!! Please don’t stop being you des 💗💗💗

[@fahda7400]

im ur moms biggest fan the way she was hugging you and being so sweet had me crying

[@anniek1746]

Girl please keep chatting, cause that’s the best thing about your vlogs! Always so real, honest and relatable❤️

[@anikarauhala1916]

Whoever said you “over talk” is wrong! I love your vlogs! They are so lively and just happy! Thank you so much for sharing your life and love of books with us! Love you!

[@ashleywebber4651]

your mum is so cute with the amount of effort she went for your birthday 🥹

[@TheWorldAccordingToLouise]

I’m in my 30s (yeah imagine) and I feel like you being open is helpful for all ages. Negative comments usually come from negative people. And they’re usually that way because they are hurt or someone has hurt them (or they’re psychopaths 😂) Anyhoo, I’m not too old to admit I pretty much cried through this and really wanted to reach through and let you know you are doing good! You are okay and everything will work out as it should!! You do sound unwell - take it easy, it’s okay to do that. Do the Lego set slowly. Being someone with anxiety myself I know any type of competitive pressure will quadruple your anxiety. Take your time… I don’t comment too much but my face was getting all teared up and I just feel like you needed someone or all of us to let you know how you’re seen! Sign up for the marathon - even if you walk half the way. Athletic or not - you are doing great. Self-confidence does get better with age. Anxiety is crippling but by thinking of coping mechanisms, you’re doing brilliant. Don’t change!! Share as much as you wish and scroll past the comments that don’t deserve your attention! Happy 21st! Keep being unapologetically you 🎀

[@MelHamilton-Brown]

61 and I totally agree xx I do think though that the Alani energy drinks are probably not helping the anxiety.

[@TheWorldAccordingToLouise]

@@MelHamilton-Brownoh I know but she’s 21. It could be a worse vice to have. I’m sure she has 1000s telling her about that but I can relate to trying to find something that gives me a bit of a buzz but isn’t good for me. Just didn’t think destiny needed to hear that on this particular post. I always try to be strengths based with people but I don’t disagree. ❤❤

[@ideknic]

des, I love your videos just the way they are. Just how you are is awesome! Don’t stop talking about your anxiety or “over explaining” just continue being you! ❤

[@selahdamerville4039]

i know a lot of other people are saying the same thing, but seeing someone on the internet talk about what it is like living with anxiety is like i feel so validated. you are so special! thank you for everything you do and share with us!

[@theinstabookworm6428]

Don't scale back on talking about your anxiety unless it's something you want to do. As an anxious girly, I appreciate when mental health is discussed openly. 💜

[@trinitydaniel9855]

i agree even if i can be a sensitive subject,😊

[@courtneylopez5337]

DES WE LOVE U BEING CHATTY DONT STOP OR LISTEN TO PEOPLE CUZ THIS IS WHY I WATCH IT LOL

[@samanthamahoney8045]

As a 20 y/o girl who suffers from anxiety, ur videos and the way you talk about ur anxiety and describe things rly honestly help me and so many other people. It’s nice to see a KZbinr talk about struggles they have that people can relate to, since we never rly see that. We love u Des, and Happy Birthday!!! 🤍✨

[@riley-jc6re]

As someone who also has anxiety, letting go of caffeine has helped me tremendously. I know it seems like it’s something you can’t live without and it took me forever to stop but I feel so much better. I actually have more energy at the end of the day, less anxiety, and less headaches. It won’t cure your anxiety but it something that could help!! ❤️ you des

[@alicja7852]

Please feel free to talk about your anxiety, it’s so important to be open about your feeling and we’re always here to listen

[@Ohana-rf4ms]

Nurse and anxiety sufferer here....the energy drinks are a huge catalyst for more anxiety. I got on Escitalopram and Wellbutrin and gave up high caffeine drinks...life changing! I would try removing the energy drinks first. They also have chemical in the artificial sweeteners that can cause anxiety and worsen ADHD. I totally know what you are feeling! Good Luck!

[@e4mi]

I wish I could take meds sometimes. I also have cptsd and the side effects of Escitalopram with ptsd is awful. just wanted to also put that out there for others to consider. i stick to flower instead 🍃

[@cchaloupka]

Des, I’m a new runner too! It can feel really overwhelming but if a half is something you want to do, go for it! Sign up for a race so you feel held accountable to your training. Stick to a running plan and as long as you can run about 10 miles at one time before your race, you will totally be able to do the rest on adrenaline! This was advice someone gave me and it helped me feel so much more confident. Also, don’t worry about running at a ‘slower’ pace - I do too and idc as long as I am just able to finish 😊

[@paigek2832]

I’m normally a silent follower but Destiny I just wanted to say how loved you are by so many people and how much I appreciate your videos! I’ve been watching your videos for a few years now and you never fail to brighten my day. Also when you mentioned ‘the house that built me’ it brought back memories for me not because of my old house but because that was my dance performance song when I was 14 and it never fails to bring tears to my eyes. Anyways I just wanted to say how grateful I am for you and that through this tough season in your life I’ll be praying for you. I’ve gone through some of the most challenging years of my life in the past 3/4 years and your videos have been a joyful spot. And God has held me close in my toughest times and I pray that you know that you can go to him in the good and bad! God cares so so much and you are so incredibly valuable to Him!!

[@alyssaredmond5133]

You and your mom laughing made me so happy you guys are so cute !!!! Also, please never stop talking about your anxiety and bringing awareness to it. It really helps knowing others are experiencing the same things . Love you Des!!

[@FleurWijnands]

Whatever you’re going through, even if it’s ’small’ things, they’re still important. Everything happens for a reason babe, stay strong - you got this 🫡🫶🏻 believe in ya ❤️

[@Rileymadison03]

I love when you ramble, its kind of something that sets you apart from others!

[@jessicathornton6598]

PSA to the girlies who read Libby on their kindles: before the ebook returns, my bf always puts his kindle on airplane mode and you can keep reading it even after the book returns 😌

[@ren.sparks]

does it disappear when you turn airplane mode off tho

[@ellarose.readss]

@@ren.sparksprobably, but if you finish the book then it’ll return after you finish so it’s all good 😊

[@beautifulmama862]

I love your weekly vlogs ❤ I suffer from anxiety and depression and it's nice to see you openly talk about it and how it affects you......Happy Birthday and thanks for another vlog

[@kathleenosphere]

Destinyyyy! happy 21st babes ❤ as someone who’s old enough to be a big sis plz plz plz be careful with the energy drinks! i’m sure you’ve heard it before. it can also be attributing to your anxiety. i know i know it sucks to hear but I used to drink them every day too and when i slowed down so did my anxiety 🎉

[@readingwkatelyn]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE QUEEN!! i already know this vlog is gonna be epic

[@forevernsomemore]

des just know that talking so freely about your feelings and your anxiety makes you the best role model. there's a ton of people out there, little kids even, im sure, that look up to you, feel seen, feel heard. thank you a lot.

[@Allexxisss1]

Me SOBBING when you mom hugs you and tells you that you deserve everything 🥲

[@scarletib]

You sharing about your anxiety isn't annoying or negative, it's real and relatable and so reassuring for someone like me who has been feeling exactly like you're describing. Thank you so much for being vulnerable and making me feel less alone ❤‍🩹

[@rhonalecumberry7322]

Des, there is a reason you have so many followers. You are ADORABLE! And I love how open you are about how you are feeling and what you are doing. I ran my first half marathon at the age of 42, and I had the same doubts and insecurities going into it. Let me tell you, crossing that finish line was one of the best experiences of my life! I will never forget it. Stick with it and I promise that feeling of accomplishment at the end will make it all worth it! You keep being you. Let the haters hate and the rest of us will sit back and enjoy every minute of your videos. ❤

[@Kelcie32]

i dont get more excited for someone to post a video than destiny!! i love your videos SOOO much! seriosly every day you post a video i know that my day will be great just because you posted a vid! you are just so pretty, joyful and genuine you are amazing💖

[@livluvlaugh524]

i actually love your mom she’s so sweet

[@DiannaCarney]

I’ve literally become obsessed with legos this month, I even created a separate LEGO KZbin channel a month ago 😂 Omg what a crazy coincidence! I didn’t grow up with legos either but they’ve helped me relax so much. Can’t wait to see more of your builds in the future!

[@shodea0915]

I literally look forward to your videos all week. Do not change anything about your vlogs!!! You talking about your anxiety makes me feel less alone with mine- it’s nice to know that other people out there are going through the same thing!! Your videos are so motivating and while I know it is easy to let the self doubt creep in, rest assured you are doing absolutely amazing and are helping so many people out there. Happy 21st!! 💕🎀🪩🐶📚🤠💐🧁

[@lizzysreadingnook]

I’m so happy you got tickets! If anyone deserves to see her it’s you!

[@cleg78]

I have suffered with anxiety for years, you sharing about your anxiety will actually help you. Using stuff like Lego or diamond painting are some of the best distraction methods you can use to help with your anxiety. Any time you can feel it building take yourself to the distraction method of choice pop on an audiobook and just absorb yourself and divert and distract yourself so the anxiety dissolves xx

[@lilycarroll9879]

Destiny I love when you talk so much in videos and explain everything it’s so comforting and nice to listen too. I also love when you talk about your anxiety because the past month I’ve been struggling so much with my own issues and it reminds me that I’m alone. Keep in mind that everyone loves you and you being so many people joy and happiness ❤

[@chloerennett7530]

Since I live in nz vlogs come out on Mondays for me so Monday is my new favourite day and I run everyday so I love hearing about the running. Happy birthday!!

[@HorsexxLoverxx0919xx]

Please never stop talking about your anxiety bc what you say is so real and I feel so safe to listen to you ❤❤❤

[@kaylgan7280]

Makes me so happy to see you’re close with your mom. My mom passed last year I’m only 24 and miss her so much she was my bestie you guys remind me of me and my mom makes me happy for you

[@annelisekempski3371]

Firstly, if you’re comfortable, you talking about your anxiety in the vlogs is really relatable and makes me feel far less alone. Second, I watch the vlogs on the treadmill so I’m so thankful for the long content. It’s so comforting!!

[@amandanovoa8768]

i love your vlogs so much. the moments where u talk about ur anxiety feels so validating? i can’t explain it but i feel understood and seen❤️‍🩹

[@goldilocks2024]

You can always be vulnerable. It’s so relatable and makes us feel like we aren’t alone in that. 💜

[@alexisirvine]

i know a lot of others have said this and i 1000% agree with them, i love when you are open about your mental health! it makes me less alone to know that other people also struggle with similar issues. and on the topic of that i also want to start building legos for the same reason so def lets us know how they work for your anxiety!!

[@MadisonElkins-x5t]

Hey des I just want to say I absolutely love your videos and everything about them!! I get the negative comments can be overwhelming but just know you’re doing amazing and are such an inspiration! I rewatch your videos all the time because you just bring a certain kind of comfort and I feel so seen when I’m watching you!!! I love you so much! 🩷🩷

[@atckwonder3798]

Girlie- I loveeeee love love when you talk to us directly in your vlogs. I watch you while getting ready for the day and it like being on a face time call. We all love you soooo much 🤍 Haters will hate cause they don’t have nothing better to do.

[@user-bo1en3lz8g]

so I am also struggeling with anxiety for quite a while now and I just love watching you videos and they help so much! Thank you

[@micahkelley6204]

I love when u get all chatty and go on tangents! And I appreciate when ur open about ur anxiety bc I deal with it SOOOO BAD! Whatever u put out I love either way tho💖

[@emilygarcia-perez5872]

My anxiety affects my life everyday so much! Hearing you talk about yours brings awareness and helps me not feel alone about it ❤

[@Kaedon_vandenBerg]

Thank you so much for making a relatable space for me where I feel calm and welcome. It's not always easy to feel that way, but your videos are almost a cure for that. And I know it's easier said than done, but don't feel self-conscious, you're beautiful Destiny!! ❤

[@lauren._chanchan]

des, I really love how you have the confidence to talk openly about the anxiety that you experience ❤ don't listen to the haters that find it annoying

[@kyas]

As an anxious girly please don’t stop talking about your anxiety! It’s really comforting knowing other people are going through the same thing! & I admire how you talk about it so openly, I get a tight chest and feel like I can’t breathe daily with my anxiety & it honestly brings so much comfort hearing someone else talking about it too🫶🏽

[@piperhensley00]

Des please keep talking the way you have been!! Also, you can get Libby books for 7, 14, or 21 days. You can change that option when you borrow a book!

[@annascorner84]

i have anxiety and over explain as well. It helps to know there are others out there who go through the same thing. Anxiety sucks and I hate it. I hope you're feeling better. Never stop being you. You are awesome just the way you are! your parents are so sweet. NGL when your dad hugged you it made me tear up. I miss mine so so much.

[@hillarycab]

you’re my comfort person. thank you for your transparency and realness. i love you always 💖

[@pauli5869]

I've been watching a lot of your videos recently and I honestly think you are the kindest soul

[@KristinMariexoxo]

Talk to yourself the way you would talk to your friend. I used to have pretty severe acne and I used to always look at myself and tell myself how disgusting I was and so on- then one day I realized, if my friends had acne like I did, I would NEVER think or say that they were disgusting. Give yourself the grace you would give your friends ❤

[@ThePlasticArchitect]

Lego is great and helps so much with exactly what you are looking for! So excited for this new adventure for you. It’s definitely changed my life for the best :)

[@rohausmani4524]

Destiny i would definitely say that you are a remarkable person and i love how chatty you are because i love you being yourself and see your personality those people who say that you talk too much or overshare or whatever are genuinely insecure about their inability express themselves and the fact that you can do it effortlessly is admirable so at this point just be yourself because a lot of people love you for who you are and the people that don't can leave if they like to but you only live once and you can't let other people determine what you do in your videos especially when it's your video and you love doing it. So just be yourself and slay. And remember a lot of people out there love you so much including me (It would be so funny and sad if she never sees this)

[@arivelreads]

destiny is the most comforting and relatable youtuber i watch ❤️

[@milou9258]

You can absolutely talk freely about your anxiety!! It’s important that you talk about :)

[@kaylaalopez]

your weekly vlogs are my FAVORITEEE!! i look forward to these sm. & don’t you worry girl we love your rants/ explanations 🫶🫶

[@marsbar6892]

Des is my Taylor Swift. As someone who has panic and anxiety attacks on a daily basis, she’s so relatable. I just love her

[@kennedybyrd7772]

I appreciate your transparency and rambles! I feel like we are very similar personality wise and it’s refreshing to see your style of vlogs! You’re very relatable and real in your content. As someone with very debilitating anxiety that is high functioning I feel less alone 🤍

[@Rachiebaby95]

Who is annoyed by you?! I am a 44-year-old woman and I absolutely adore you. You remind me so much of me at 21 and now my daughter who is 22. We think you are an absolute gem and I will fight anyone who says differently. Please do not change in anyway because I look forward to hanging out with you weekly.

[@heyitsmakayla111]

as someone who also struggles with anxiety i find a strange send of calm in a way when you talk about yours because then i feel like im not so alone. Sometimes you really motivate me too keep going so thank you, talk about your anxiety as much or as little as you want. It's not negative or annoying it's just reality . I literally adore you and all the work that you do and effort you put into your job, and letting us go through things with you🩷.

[@iveynetsch1001]

You’re so vulnerable in your videos and I feel so honored that you let us know your hardships and things. I really hope your anxiety gets better. Also, your hair always looks so good.

[@hyuneslittlestar]

I have been watching you for a while now and realized I never leave any comments ? Gonna start doing it from now on cause you deserve all the love and support this planet holds!!!♡ I have been struggling for a while now Actually, for so long now that I am genuinely scared It hasn't been this bad in years Your videos get me through my worst days, Des You became such a comfort person to me I could listen to you talk about literally anything for hours I appreciate you opening up about your anxiety a lot cause as someone who struggles with it as well it's so validating to hear! You make me feel seen You are doing amazing bestie You are doing enough Always remember that♡ May this new year of life bless you with only the best!!! I love you Thank you for being my virtual bestie ❤️‍🩹

[@molzp1210]

i wouldn’t change a single thing about your vlogs destiny! the running/gym content, vulnerable chats, daily routines, etc. it’s comforting and relatable :) i seriously could watch you do the most mundane things and i would EAT it up every time.

[@Kyla-yk1fo]

Every time I watch these videos I realize I am not alone in my thoughts because of you Des. Your thoughts and words make me realize that what I feel is completely normal and that I can make it day to day no matter what. I love listening to all the rants you go on because I do that too.

[@francesca.m.]

Destiny, I really appreciate you sharing about your anxiety, especially when you talk about things like what you are doing to try to get thru the day when it is very high, or what set it off. I am struggling with the same thing and it can be so frustrating to have high anxiety that your brain knows is illogical but that knowledge doesn't do anything to stop the anxiety. Seeing you getting up and doing your runs even though you might be struggling thru it is so motivational. One of my goals is to run a marathon but I am starting from the bottom and am really trying to see myself there crossing the finish line as something that I can do! Also I discovered Lego about a year ago when I was searching for something to do that required some focus to try to calm my mind and help me with anxiety and I have been loving it. You can absolutely build your big set! Don't doubt yourself! I finished the Lord of the Rings Rivendell set and it was so much fun and a cool display piece too! My advice is to get some sort of tray or shallow box to dump your Lego bags into because there is nothing worse than having pieces scatter and fall to the floor and then either look for them or have your dog eat them before you can grab them (that happened to me D: ) And also use that Lego tool that comes with the kits - it makes getting pieces off if you put them in the wrong spot so much easier, especially if you have nails. Thanks for sharing realness about your life, it gives me hope and motivation and helps me feel less alone. Sending so much love your way. 🥰

[@jadethomass]

happy birthday beautiful

[@nastushabogach9788]

Des, your vlogs literally save my mental health and make my day better🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Please don’t change anything about your videos, you’re perfect as you are and never stop talking, cause I’m a talkative girly myself and I get it❤️❤️❤️

[@lu-ii4mf]

I love your vlogs so much. I love how you talk about your anxiety which helps me a lot cuz I’m dealing with it too. And I absolutely love that you’re so chatty in your vlogs! I live for that! 🫶🫶

[@natashacorrado]

God bless you Des, always here to pray for you for whatever you need 🙏🏼 you are strong & capable!! 💗

[@_inmyhead]

I love when you talk on vlogs, I much prefer that than people putting music on and stuff it's just more fun and especially if someone is driving or doing something, having more talking is so much more enjoyable 🥰

[@ashtonunique7]

I absolutely love seeing clips of you with your mom! Y’all are so happy around each other❤

[@emmuhlii]

Ive been building legos for about a year and a half and im also an anxious girlie and it is such a nice way to decompress!! It distracts me from my anxiety since you have to concentrate on the build and then you get an awesome piece to display! The Harry Potter ones are my favorite, but they have plenty of Spider-Man/marvel sets!

[@vickypowell]

Your weekly vlogs have become comfort for me and I can’t go without watching them

[@ffiontill5924]

The anticipation and excitement for this vlog!! (I love the chatty vlogs💗 and your rants and rambles) your hair is gorgeous and the birthday photos are stunning 😍

[@izzy-fj8bz]

i find it so comforting when you talk about things that may make you vulnerable because i can relate to a lot of it even though I’m a teenage girl but i think it’s so important to hear about people who go through similar things as you so thank you🫶🏼

[@TheCaryCouture]

Please don’t stop talking about your anxiety ♥️ I’ve had anxiety + panic attacks since I was super young. It’s always amazing to see others open up about their struggles and what works for them. It reminds me that I’m not alone and that I can still be productive. Thank you for the representation ♥️

[@mollyb698]

I totally get the fear around running a half and running a half marathon with a bunch of other people! I was so scared before my first half and once I was at the event it was so much fun to be around others and there are people running all different paces and plenty walking. I found it was so inspiring! Any run is a good run though no matter how long - keep up the great work! I LOVE your running updates and would love love love to see more of that content :)

[@nataliesynan]

Happy Birthday! I think it is nice to be able to relate to someone else who has anxiety. My anxiety is the reason I fell back into reading, its one of the only things that has helped me and now i cant go a day without reading.

[@ingridmj]

hope you feel better soon, sunshine

[@car5522]

I just want to say that I really appreciate you talking about anxiety because it helps me feel not as alone and I also like seeing the way you handle it too. (whether that means you push through or take a rest day). I really adore your videos and they help me push through some of the things I am struggling with, so I don't think you should worry too much about sharing things about your anxiety.

[@kate_elizabeth]

Des, please never feel bad about being vulnerable -- it takes a lot of strength! I'm an anxious person too, so I know how hard it can be sometimes. Just remember to breathe, ask for help when you need it, and be forgiving of yourself! You've got this girlie! 🫶🏼

[@JennaBlayke]

Unless it makes your anxiety worse in any way, please never stop talking about! I started watching your videos early last year and I also struggle with anxiety on a daily basis, so when I heard you talk about how you deal with it, it just made me love you so much more. The peace of mind you have given me just to be able to live day to day life is just indescribable. On days where I feel so anxious, I don't even want to leave the house I literally tell myself that Destiny does it, so I can do it too. Please never never stop talking about it. I hate to hear when you are struggling, but it helps the other girlies who are struggling with the same thing. Love you bestie des ❤

[@leabouchard7929]

I love when you ramble and talk about you anxiety! I feel like we have the same type of personality so I love seeing you and feel like I am not alone❤️

[@laurensprague6682]

Watching you work towards running a half marathon is so encouraging! I am planning on training for one later on this year and I love all the content you post about it. I know you'll be able to do it, so proud of you girl!!

[@avajanak8964]

Just sign up for the marathon! I am doing one in 2 weeks and it’s honestly unbelievable that I’m able to run that long, but I can! With so much preparation you will be able to too and going slow goes such a long way! I promise it’s so motivating knowing the day is coming up and the energy of a race is unmatched and pushes you to do it so much more than being by yourself does!!!

[@bry7097]

you got this half marathon des!!! i used to not be able to run only a half mile straight and i ran a 5k recently. baby steps!!! running is such a mind game you got it!

[@juliask8s958]

on my most anxious days it’s really hard to remember that my anxious thoughts are not me… I always resort to your videos (especially vlogs) for comfort and whenever you end up talking about your anxiety it brings me so much peace knowing that other people also experience what i experience and at the same rate

[@notmariasanchez]

your weekly vlogs are my favorite! happy birthday des 💓
