Just wanted to let you know, I come here for YOU! No matter what content you make whether it’s vlogs or book videos, I subscribed. Love your videos bc I love you and your chaotically, yet somehow calming, beautiful personality (and I’m sure it’s the same for others!) ❤❤❤

Des, please, please post what YOU want, we are here for you. Upload what you have time to and WANT to upload. Don’t worry about posting too much of this or that content. We love you and will take what content you want to give us ❤ Also congrats Izac on the store opening!

Don’t let anyone’s comments tear you down. I think you’re fantastic and I struggle with anxiety and PTSD so seeing you go through those things is comforting. I appreciate that you are posting whatever content that you want. Post whatever you want! I love just seeing you. I’ll always be a Destiny fan even if you stopped reading all together. ❤️❤️❤️

des, please don't let the comments get to you!! at the end of the day, there will always be people who dislike your content, no matter how great and lovely you and your videos are. we will watch and love any sort of video which YOU post/create(please don't forget that!!), therefore thank you so so so much for the effort which you make to post entertaining videos regularly! ily💗

hey!! I found your channel at first because of your book videos but I genuinely fell in love with your vlogs as well. I am in high school right now and I struggle with horrible anxiety and have a hard time talking about it in a way that people understand and your videos have helped me so much!! I appreciate you being open about your experiences and struggles. Congrats on the store opening!!! I cannot wait for future videos to come! I hope you have a blessed day ❤💕

you could do the same exact thing every single week and you know what….i’m still gonna click on your week in my life vlogs with the same amount of excitement EVERY👏🏼SINGLE👏🏼TIME👏🏼

just want to say i adore your vlogs and book videos, honestly any video u put out i love. try not to let the comments get to you, we’re so proud of u and we appreciate you giving us content whatever content it may be. ❣️

watching you and Izac during his store opening had me seriously tearing up. you guys are such a beautiful couple and i love the unconditional love and support between the two of yall🥹🫶🏻. Congratulations to him!!!!!!

It was so nice meeting you at the store opening! You were so sweet 💜 I really appreciated you taking the time to talk with me and my friend about our college lives. 💓

des i love the vlogs!! as a person with anxiety, seeing someone getting through their life while struggling with it too, feels motivating to do it myself. the way you express your feelings and thoughts really helps me to put it into words (even if their aren't mine). love the book videos too, can't wait. take care

Des pls don’t let any of the comments get to you. Post what YOU want to post. I have only been watching you for half a year but you have automatically become my comfort RU-vidr. I love all of you content, both vlogs and book content. I put your videos on when I want to be happy because I know you will always put me in a good mood. You are the best and so relatable in your struggle with anxiety. You make me and tons of others feel like I’m not alone with their anxiety. You are an amazing person and I hope you keep creating the best RU-vid content out there!! 💗💗💗

You care too much what people think about you. You need to stop it will be much freeing once you make content that makes u happy and not others. Real supporters will support you through everything

Please dont stop posting these vlogs. I LOVE YOUR VLOGS!!! I LOVE YOUR ALL TYPE OF VIDEOS

Hey Destiny!! I’m so sorry you’ve been stressed!! I wanted to let you know that so many of us love both your vlogs and your book videos because we genuinely love YOU! 💖 You yourself are honestly so relatable and funny. Take all the time you need to figure things out/take breaks and we will still be here because we support you. You are a positive light!! 💘💘

i love your weekly vlogs, please don’t stop doing them!

Yah know what time it is!! Des da best timeeeee 🎉🌸💖

congrats to izac for the store opening!! i’m sure your so proud of him

You’re the second RU-vidr who has told her followers how stressed they get about content.. idk if it matters on the professional level of things but us followers love you and whatever you post. If you need a break for mental health and self care, take it! Don’t stress about putting content out or what you’ll produce for us we love you regardless Des ❤

I enjoy your VLOGS and book videos. I hope to see you continue uploading them.

Hey Des! Just wanted to let you know that your vlogs help me so much to be motivated. Ofc I love the book vids as well 🤍. I totally understand getting in your head about things. I started a home bakery this year and I put so much pressure on myself when everyone else hasn’t really cared about the things I’m worried about. #anxietygirlies

As a fellow anxious girly, I know that people telling you not to worry about something really doesn’t help, but PLEASE post what videos you want to post Des! I personally love everything you put out and your vlogs are some of my fav! You’re so relatable, and I will literally talk to my mom about how something you said or did reminds me of myself. You will always be one of my comfort RU-vidrs. ❤

Destiny I lone your vlogs so much. Pls dont stop doing these just because of some hate comments. I love your each and every video. I WANT YOUR VLOGS DESTINYYY. ❤❤

So random but your hair looks AMAZING STRAIGHT! You always look gorgeous but I love the straight hair!

PLEASE keep doing these week in my life vids they are the HIGHLIGHT of my week every week I eat it up PLEASE DES

If you enjoy the vlogging, pls keep doing it 😭 I don’t want a certain few to ruin it for the rest of us! I love watching your vlogs, it feels like catching up with a friend. I literally just play them while I’m cleaning or eating breakfast 🥹

I like the book content but I love the vlogs. Also I just started playing Animal Crossing because of you.

Bestie why don’t you share the pod editing responsibilities with Sara since its both of y’alls podcast and then you won’t have such a massive work load? Just a thought, ily

I like your day in the life videos. Makes you more relatable and human. No one is just books 24/7 365. Not to mention you’ll run out of content if you do that.

the fact that i’m squealing and jumping because next week in september and she can finally buy books which means book buying vlog!!! 😍 Luv ya Des!!

I’m honestly here for whatever content you want to post!! I love the week in the life vlogs, and love the book videos!

How about making a separate channel to post vlogs so that you wouldn’t feel guilty about posting them on this channel but we would still get to enjoy the content we love!

i love your videos babe! whether it’s book content or vlogs, i appreciate any content you post! ❤

The way I feel about your videos is the way you feel about Emily Henry. I will Watch EVERYTHING you post❤

Show us you playing animal crossing!! Love you n your videosss ❤❤❤

video idea! have your niece pick your books for a week 😁

Dess! i’ve been thinking… you are one of the only youtubers i like who post soo frequently like every other day??! i adore your week in a life and sit down book videos i’m just glad to see you! i think if ur tired of ur busy schedule you can take a break but week in my life’s are my favourite!!!!!

Post whatever you want to post girl, alot of us are here for you and you alone. Everything else is just a bonus. You're doing amazing ❤

I am a 27 year old woman and I feel like you’re my little sister that I’m trying to be more like to be cool😂

Your vlogs give me a little piece of home! I’m from Indiana and had lived in Tampa and now live in Dallas. My whole family lives in Indiana still and I love it there and miss it! I love to hear about the weather, the Indy 500, all of that…as silly as it sounds! Makes me think about my summers growing up! I love the vlogs AND book videos they’re all fun :)))

I love your vlogs. Don’t listen to the other people. ❤

Girl, you be you. Don’t stress about the haters. You are great and your content is great but your mental health is the most most important. Don’t let anything take that mental health away.

I love anything you post I’ll binge all of it 😂

You look SO pretty with your straightened hair! Also just wanted to say I’m always so happy seeing you post LITERALLY ANYTHING! So do what makes you happy and we’ll just all tag along 🙂💓

Girl I absolutely love your vlogs! I enjoy the variety of how you have both book content and days in your life. Don’t let the comments drive you to post a certain type of content. Post what you love to film because if you are posting just to please others most likely it won’t even be your best and you won’t be happy about it because you weren’t posting the content you care about. You videos are so entertaining and just a fun time all around. Keep going you are doing amazing ✨💖

This is so weird bc the store is opening in my hometown so in the clips of you guys in Bloomington and driving around I can see places that I have been to thousands of times.

des, you can post anything you want and whenever!!!! we will watch anything you post and support you with it! we all hope it gets better but just know we are here. have a great day tho!

I’ve been loving the vlogs!!!!!🩷 I say to keep posting them🥰

I absolutely LOVE vlogs, you always have a good flow of videos and i am so interested in everything you post! You aren’t a machine who can crank out several book videos a week because that’s exhausting and takes your fun out of reading! If others don’t like the vlogs, they can always just click on the book videos and let the rest of us enjoy them! Don’t let anyone get you down bestie, we are here for YOU! Love your channel! 🩷 your content is authentic and you post what you like, it’s your channel!

I love your book content but I also just love you. You’re very comforting to me and I think showing the reality of having anxiety and living life is nice. If someone watches your channel only for the book content then they should only watch those videos.

The way I would literally watch you stare at a wall if that was the video you posted. I love literally all of your videos, book-related or not! Also congrats Izac on the new store!!! 👏🏻

I would watch a 2 hour long video of you staring at a wall. I appreciate whatever content you give us regardless of whether it’s always book related or not. I see all your hard work and I’m sorry it’s been rough for you lately! We love and adore you des. Xxxx

Hey Des, this is YOUR channel so you can post whatever makes you happy! We'll be here with you

OMG I NEED that water bottle! 😍

hey des! i really really hope you're okay. i was going through this exact thing a few months ago with my anxiety and what i did to help was to get off social media. not completely fall of the face of the earth, just take a break. do what makes YOU happy. don't let the pressure get to you and when you feel yourself getting hyper critical towards yourself say, "no, that is just my mean anxiety brain telling me things that are not true." i love you and care about you destiny and i really want you to feel good. so proud of you and what you accomplished :)

JUST WHAT I NEED :')

First day of my period, im curles up in bed, only good thing that happen today. Thanks girl. Love from portugal

I truly believe that if you love to make vlogs and you find joy in filming them, it will show in your content and people will gravitate towards that!! Do what makes your heart happy! Love the content girlie

destiny: first & foremost, i LOVE your content! 🤍🤍🤍 regardless if you upload book content or vlog content...i absolutely adore you! i, personally, LIVE for vlogs. i love book content also since i in fact love reading. however, that's not the only content i enjoy diving into. please don't ever allow ANYone else to dictate your life or your passion. always remember why you started. your genuine community will always be here...ten toes down for Des! x

I totally relate to being fuelled by anxiety. I also rely on notion for my daily life! I’ve only used it for 6 months but now I’m on it 10 times a day minimum. Btw I love the vlogs 💖💖💖

Quality over quantity. You can’t keep making book videos if you’re stressing to read the books. Then you’re not enjoying the books and we won’t get your honest opinions on them because you’re stress reading. Reading is your hobby, do it YOUR way. I love your vlogs. If you want then do a separate vlog channel if you feel like it but if not then keep posting them on your channel. I’m going to watch your videos no matter what they’re about and I know a lot of people are that way here. Honestly, it is your RU-vid channel. People will come and watch. Not everyone will like the book videos and not everyone will like the vlogs. But from comments I’ve seen, most of your audience appreciates both. I appreciate the efforts you put in your book videos I think they’re awesome. And I like your vlogs and just seeing what you’re up to. You’re doing great.❤ follow your dreams, don’t let others get in the way of that.

girl keep the vlogs, you are a breath of fresh air... just be your unique self we are all watching !! and we love it!! keep killing it !

Don’t let any comments get you down. You post what YOU want to. This channel is supposed to be something that makes you happy, not just us. I love watching everything you post. Your book videos will get me out of a slump or if I don’t feel like a book video I also love your vlogs. I deal with a lot of anxiety too, so you are not alone. We will love whatever content you post because we love you! I hope you feel better and know that we watch your videos cause we love you too! ❤️

Remind yourself that your viewers should alter to you, not the other way around. You won’t be able to please everyone Des, but I promise you a lot of people, myself included, will religiously watch every video you post because they’re always wonderful, calming, funny watches even if they aren’t book related x

Do what feels best to you video wise. I know it’s probably hard to decide on what to do since you want to consider your audience, personally the week in my life videos are some of my faves :) I love seeing more of you and your life

Love your vlogs. Anxiety is the worst 😢. But you are strong for speaking on it and sharing your journey 😊. Tell Isaac congratulations on the store 👏🏾. It's so amazing, and I know you're proud of him and his friend for this big accomplishment. 😊😊😊😊. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

AHHHH HIS TAR HEELS SHIRT!!!! Always love seeing North Carolina in other places!

Love ALL of your videos! So happy I found your channel 💕 the people that don't like the vlogs don't have to watch them 🤷🏼‍♀️ but I personally watch because I love all of your content! 🩷

Destiny!!!! Don’t you dare let the hating comments get to you!!!! Please! And I know I’m speaking for everyone who loves your content including me ❤

Hi Destiny. I love your videos. I do love your book videos but not necessarily in a 'vlog' format. I like your book TBR videos, book Recommendation Videos, bookish videos in general. That is what attracted me to your channel. God bless you!

I know I am a month behind seeing this but I absolutely LOVE ALL of your content!! I love your vlogs and your book videos! You could sit down and read your grocery list and I would watch every single second of it! Watching your weekly vlogs makes me feel like we are besties on FaceTime 🫶🏻

DES, I would literally watch a 45 minute video of you talking to a wall…SO keep vlogging if that’s what you enjoy girly!! I love the vlogs & I’m pretty sure the majority of people who love you, love the vlogs🩷

Des, you shine brighter than everyone else. I hope no words or people ever dim that light. Whatever you want to do, whatever you want to post, please know that I will always watch and support. My weeks are happy and fun thanks to your videos. please never stop doing what you love and have passion for. I am proud of you and will always be cheering you on. 🤍

I know you care, but let me remind you queen that this is your channel and if someone isn't feeling your content then they can click off. There are some people you will never be able to make happy. I love your vlogs and I hate that you're feeling that way...so let me be your hype man and say: YOURE AMAZING! ❤

Destiny my angel!!! We come here for YOUUUUU not your book videos!! If you stopped doing book videos I would not care because I just want you to be happy and enjoy what you post!! Your vlogs are the best and they are so comforting to me. We all love you heaps, keep smiling girly xxxxx

**needs to drive to bloomington to visit des ✅. seriously you could post a video of you staring at the wall and talking for 40 minutes, and i’d happily watch it and be so excited you posted. I love all of your videos, especially the vlogs. post whatever you want! bc there are people that love you and love whatever you post BECAUSE it’s you! 🩷🩷

I've been watching your videos for a few months now, started watching based on your book content. Just listened to you talk about anxiety related to posting vlogs versus book content. I wanted to comment my support. Book content takes more time to make, obvs, b/c you have to read the books. You are dealing with the public and, oh, how the public LOVES to offer their opinion even when it's, ahem, worded poorly. I think you are doing fabulous with this channel and I enjoy watching slice-of-life content just as much as book content. 🥰

Your VLOGS are excellent. My suggestion is watch seasoned RU-vidrs who VLOG, and seek their advice. People suck in general… in real world and in your influencer world. Unfortunately, when you start compromising what you love to appease others is when our souls die. Negative commenters could be bots, trolls, haters, or someone going through issues themselves. Life is hard no matter where we are in life, please do you!

I love your vlogs and book videos equally. You’re incredibly calming to watch and just a vibe at all times. I also love how open you are about your mental health. Don’t listen to the negativity!! Xo ♥️♥️

Des!! You should keep rice cakes in your car for when you feel sick/like you’re going to pass out at the gym! Especially if you haven’t eaten anything beforehand, your blood sugar is probably super low ❤

I would literally watch you grocery shop… I love you and would literally watch ANY video you post! I love all the different types of videos you do. That’s also totally normal depending on different seasons of life!! Keep doing you girl! 🤍🤩

I think you felt bad and had no energy that day because you said you didn’t eat. Working out and getting enough sleep plus enough food is super important to your overall energy and well being. I have this problem too sometime you just have to make sure you are eating regularly ESPECIALLY working out. Also i love both your week in the life and your book videos. I do miss your book content to be honest but I want you to make whatever makes you happy! That’s what matters

I really enjoy watching your vlogs and you should definitely just do whatever makes you happy! But maybe you could incorporate some subtle book content into your weekly vlogs? Like, maybe some b-roll of you reading, or just quickly mentioning what you’re reading or what you’ve read that day. Even when that book is for another video, you don’t have to go in depth about it, but it would also be a nice teaser for that video

LOVE your vlogs and love your book videos just keep posting because you’re such a comfort youtuber for me!!!

Please please please do videos at your own pace. Your health and mental health are important. You mentioned having chest pain … I’m truly concerned about the amount of pressure/stress you are putting on yourself. I also agree with staying away from energy drinks. That definitely doesn’t help with anxiety. 🤗🤗

We are here to watch YOU

Please don’t take those comments to heart. The people that want to be here are here and we want what your giving :) you are doing great and love seeing a new video

destiny, we love all your videos!!!! i LOVE the vlogs sm!!!! those people are just being rude and don’t deserve to watch your videos!!✨💖💖

I always enjoy your videos, I prefer the vlogs and the vlog-style reading videos, but I watch most of what you post. I usually watch them while I eat breakfast and it helps me start my day in good direction.

Sweet girl ignore people that only care about your book content. Don’t let it get you down. We love watching whatever you do. Your a great inspiration for young women. Keep doing what makes you happy. You need a great book shopping day. That may cure all your worries. 😉

Please DON'T stop with the vlogs I looovee them as much as the book videos

Have you considered maybe doing a monthly vlog instead of a weekly one. That way, you can film what's interesting, and you have a whole month's worth of material so you don't have to worry so much about trying to make stuff happen in your regular life to accommodate the vlog. That way, you can still do bookish videos every week and you'll still have a vlog. It'll just be a monthly. It will also open up some room for other content that you can get creative with. Either way, we love what you do, so don't sweat the small stuff.

I love all your videos! I would watch anything you post! You can like pet your dog for 40 minutes and I would be so happy. I understand there’s algorithms and etc but dont listen to those people. The right people will come and if they don’t theyre not the right people.

I really think you need to take the pressure off of yourself to keep posting all these different videos at once, I think you should film what YOU want to film and post when YOU want and are ready to post. I know most RU-vidrs post once a week and if you can do it great but honestly if not that should be fine too. It takes so much effort and time to make all these videos, they should never be rushed especially if trying to keep up with what everyone wants and all these different videos causes you anxiety. Your mental well-being is so much more important than peoples opinions on your videos, they aren't filming or editing them and therefore have no say in how or when you post. Yes this is your job but you're also a real person and need a reasonable amount of time to get things done without it causing serious stress or anxiety. Maybe take a little step back and just film and post when you want to, especially since you make longer videos if you missed a week or 2 or however many it would not be a big deal, you put in so much effort already you deserve a break sometimes. If anyone comments complaints or anything not understanding then they clearly don't support you enough and don't understand you're human too, this isn't like fake tv shows or movies, this is your life and your mental well being.🩷 Just take care of yourself and we'll all be happy and love you and your content regardless🩷.

What does your manager do? I have extreme anxiety. If it happens in grocery store I’m the person that leaves the 1/2 cart in isle. Anxiety can make you feel like heart attack I went 2x and nothing. But please get checked out❤

I love everything you put out. Your never going to feel like your own content is good enough, I struggle w the same thing when it comes to bookstagram. It’s kinda like when u cook for yourself you don’t think it’s as good as someone else cooking that food for you lol. Your doing great! And I understand the anxiety I struggle w anxiety disorder and depression, your feelings are valid but I would still like to give you some positive vibes and feedback we love you!

I love the vlogs! I know it’s easier said than done but try not to let those comments get to you. I love the book content obviously but we are also here for your charismatic personality and your ability to make people feel comfortable and laugh. Your videos help me relax after a long day and it feels like we’re on FaceTime. Whenever I’m anxious my boyfriend puts “bestie destiny” on the tv so I can fall asleep haha. So! Please don’t be too hard on yourself you deserve to post what makes you feel happy

I came here for the Destiny Sidwell experience as a whole, so I love watching the vlogs and the book videos. I think you're doing great; I look forward to you posting every week.

Hey Destiny. I think you're doing so well and I'm so sorry that you're feeling upset and unwelcome on your own channel. Today I decided to turn on RU-vid notifications, and out of all the channels I subscribe to I turned on notifications for yours, first. I want you to know that we care about you and how you are and about your day. Stay safe, and know that you're important. Thank you for taking the time out of your life to do this channel❤️

I adore your vlogs!! I would legit watch any video you upload and I love how we get to see more of your personality in your vlogs. I always feel seen (as a fellow anxious girly) watching you talk about your struggles. I hope you will do better soon and if that includes not uploading vlogs just do what you gotta do. Love ya!!!! ❤
