As an older subscriber I mean this in the most loving big sis way possible, don’t grow up too fast. I’d do anything to go back to a less complicated time when mom and dad helped with everything. I’ve been an adult and on my own since 18 (10 years now) and I’m desperately trying to get closer to mom and dad but work and life always pulls me away. Take as many trips home as possible. You will miss the trips to Barnes with mom.

[@hannahwagner226]

this is so true. I also moved out at 18 and I'm now 26 and would do anything to have those extra years back.

[@laurencutrone4057]

Can I just commend you for being so vulnerable? Moves can be so great and so exciting and so wonderful but they can also be really sad and scary. Not enough people acknowledge that. I moved out of my mom's house when I was THIRTY and I still cried the entire drive to my new apartment. Thank you for letting us see the not-so-sunny side of you. I think it's important and I think it's brave of you to let us in.

I’ve found the best way to overcome homesickness those first few days is just to keep yourself busy whilst you adjust, and you’ll be used to it before you know it! Phoning your family regularly also helps them not feel so far away

[@readingwkatelyn]

as someone who has lived in the same house for 20 years I am so proud of you Des. I can't imagine how difficult it would be to not only move out but as far away as you did. I've been an AVID watcher for over 2 years now and you've motivated and inspired me to be confident in posting my own book videos. you got this and we are always here for you.

[@kaya.graceee]

and now I’m crying because if Des is growing up that means I have to too. I’m still living at home at the moment but I know this day is coming for me soon 😭🥺

[@TaylorofContents]

"How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard" Winnie the Pooh/A. A. Milne.

[@catiewoolf3879]

Destiny, this genuinely could not have come at a better time. I have been watching you for four years since I started high school and I leave for college in four days and it’s 15 hours away. Watching your videos has always been a highlight of my day and I have always struggled with anxiety and you talking about having similar struggles makes me feel so seen and understood. I have been doing the same and suppressing my emotions and I will continue to do so because I am terrified, but watching you take it day by day and being able to overcome the fear you had to leave home and do it with strength and perseverance makes me feel so much better and confident that I can do it too. I appreciate you so much you gonna kill it in Texas!! 💕🫶

[@emilyparrishh]

Was shooooook when I saw the title!! But so proud of you! It's incredibly hard to move away from your family. I moved from TN to NYC almost 8 years ago, and I'm now in my 30s. It's overwhelming, and you're going to learn a lot and go through a lot. Some bad, but mostly good. But it's worth the growth that you'll experience during this time. Some advice is to: 1. Stay in touch with your family, but don't dwell on your past and obsess over what you're missing. Know that they're always a phone call and plane ride away. 2. Discover your new routines, but don't be afraid of experiencing all the new things. You're in a totally different part of the country now! Take advantage of it. 3. Have open communication not only with your partner, but also your housemates. And, I cannot stress this enough, IT'S OK TO SET BOUNDARIES WITH THEM! It's hard enough living with a partner, but adding other housemates in there can cause stress if y'all don't have convos about boundaries, routines, lifestyles, groceries, cleaning, etc. 4. Find your new doctors, hair dressers, dentists, etc, as soon as you can! You'll be happy you did your research before you need them. So excited for the next chapter in your life. Make the most of it, it'll be a great adventure.

[@jennlrichardson]

I'm also in my 30s and moved states a few times in my 20s and am still living out of my "home" state. This is all great advice! Especially about living with roommates. I've seen too many friendships end after becoming roommates and mostly due to lack of communication.

[@emilyparrishh]

@@jennlrichardson So true! I lived with strangers when I moved to the city, and it's so challenging when you're not only living on your own for the first time, but the dynamics of living with friends is still so different! People have different sleeping schedules, cleaning schedules, dietary preferences, etc. It can all be a lot to get used to at one time. And living with a partner too, you learn all of those things, but you're also trying to learn about the new normal of living with that partner too. Its all worth the experience for sure. Growth is hard, but good!

[@laraschachl]

Genuine question, is it common for Americans to move across the country?

[@emilyparrishh]

@@laraschachl It's super common for people to move across the country in the states! I think it's because each region is very different from each other - the south is different from the north, east is different from the west, etc. But there are also plenty of people who stay in the town they grew up it.

[@jennlrichardson]

@laraschachl yeah it's pretty common. Some of my moves were because my husband was in the military. But when he got out, we didn't go back to our hometown. I live about a 9 hour drive from my hometown now. Only one of my close high school friends still lives there.

[@joeliz9082]

I have moved states multiple times in my life, and every single time (no matter how much I want and need the move) I always end up crying for days once I am in the new place. I have always felt so alone because like you said, moving vlogs never show that side of moves. From my experience, both emotions (excitement and grieving your old home and what you left) can exist at the same time and deserve to exist at the same time. You are doing what's best for you in this moment by moving, but that doesn't make the goodbye any less sad. Give yourself the freedom to feel it all.

Des I'm so proud of you!! This made me want to cry and i got teary eyed right along with you! That quote is also one of my favorites and everytime I get sad about things I try to remember that and be grateful for it all! Me being a 19 year old these thoughts also come into my mind on when i should move out and when it will be the right time and how I'll ever do it, so seeing you do this gave me a sense of bravery and made me feel not alone, that I can do it when the time is right and it will be hard but I'll make it through!
