I will not & cannot be ashamed for surviving and overcoming. You will never have the power to change that.

There are 2 types of people in the world: Compassionate honest people. And Disgruntled losers . Don

💞 I was going to ignore the little mosquitos before … but now the high road seems unlikely …

lol I get it

My heart just exploded for this video! Bravo, sister! ❤️

Thank you Knoxie. It’s just a shame I had to take time to address these sick people. But if that means laying it all on the line- so be it. 🫶 much love girl and TY

You handled it with class and I have mad respect for it! We need more of this and less of whatever the hell they are doing! ❤️

Thanks Knoxie. 🙏I’ve already had people in the comments say I’m doing it for virtue signaling…smh. The world is full of hurt people that want to hurt people. It’s so sad. You can’t even open up and defend women, mental health or show sympathy without someone bastardizing it and vilifying anyone who tries to help. It’s not gonna change by being silent. 🫶

Choosing understanding over bitterness frees an individual from the weight of resentment. I hope they learn this soon. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that- MLK Jr

Another fantastic quote! Knoxie for the win! 🫶

I was diagnosed with BPD around the same age. Continued drinkin and druggin for a while after that… Proud to be in recovery now for over 10 years. Keep on being awesome! 😎

Congratulations. I know that couldnt have been easy and I'm glad you're here and thriving. 🤜💥🤛🫶

Same to you!!! 💜

Dammit Dezzie, I was trying to NOT fall in love over the internet today. 😘 How are there so many squares on this platform.

no one knew I was battling an addiction to fentanyl… that started during Covid. No one. I was VERY functioning on the outside… Until my “financial” life that I had been hiding “falling apart”…. actually FELL apart. 2 years blessed that my life fell apart… otherwise I’d still be hiding it. 🙏

Thank you for being brave and being a person who is honest and reflective. It’s strength like that which has led you to overcome. 👏🙏

I’m sure you are an inspiration to those who struggle with addictions. 🙏❤️

Keep your head up. Social media is Toxic

I put scars on my wrists when I was 10. Life got worse in many ways after that. We didn’t choose to escape through addiction, but we did choose to recover when we had the opportunity. I’m so proud of you! Look what you’ve done with your life! Your research and reporting informs so many people.

Watched your full video, happy to see some of your curly haired curls revealed ☺️ But sad that you had to make a video like this cause insignificant angry old men who have produce absolutely nothing of substance on this app go around abusing women like you 😔

Men is a generous overstatement. I think men have spines, and balls. Those cretin are lacking those specific criteria- imo. But thank you Mr.Witch. They could learn a thing or two from you. 🫶

I’m not crying, you’re crying!

lol NO CRYING!! Okay… maybe just a little bit of crying. 😂

I am so proud of you. You remind me of what grateful looks like as a human

Tell em’ you’re nothing but a inspiration Destiny!

🙏🙏🫶 thank you Tim

You’re gonna be an amazing mom..! 💯 You have been forged by the most powerful experiences which is a testament to your true depth of connection to the one source of all that is.. you can only get stronger.. and wiser..! Respect 🫡 👊

🌌 The Force is strong with this one

This generation wasn’t raised to respect anyone and they weren’t taught to understand and the more we interact and communicate with each other the more we learn.. If we could just take a moment and understand each other it would be impossible to hate or dislike anyone

Pls don’t vape. It’s not good

I can vape. Reminds me im still breathing

♥️✊

God bless you Destiny 🙏 You are an overcomer. ❤️😇

God is good all the time! 🙏

Amen! 🙏

🫂

So many more people love you , there are always going to be haters out there that are jealous , I say they are not even worth your time

Thank you Lori. You’re too kind. I wouldn’t have bothered to address it if they would have said this privately amongst themselves but in a space around people that likely have health with similar life paths I had to say something. They are enjoying the notion of pushing ppl over the edge and it’s sick. I am fine but I don’t know what others are going thru, or how close others might be to the edge and I won’t sit quietly and just hope they stop. They are not worth my time. But the people listening to them deserve better. They deserve to see someone say that what they are doing is disgusting.

so sad to see these people act this way , what comes around goes around , I know you are very kind and always exposing the truth out to the world , people will see through these trouble makers that they are just plain horrible people

Beautifully said Destiny! You should not have to explain yourself to any POS’s. Spaces can be so brutal. Congratulations on surviving and overcoming so many difficult obstacles. That’s post-traumatic growth! I’m inspired by your resilience! 🫶 As Maya Angelou said: “I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it.” 😘

💯🌿💕 you really should grow your own Dez! 💯💕🌿🙏✨ #Gotseeds @HoneycombEmpire

@dezzie_rezzie that’s a powerful message. Much love to you. Everyone on X has probably had a bad point in their lives. For people to sit here and legitimately “purity spiral” makes no sense to me.

What a heart felt and beneficial video everyone should watch! God Bless you 🙏🫶🏻

If you're very GL and smart and interesting and kind, you're invited into lots of rooms and situations that most people would never understand. Put into positions that they will never have to be in. IYKYK

Please stop vaping, i know folks who collapsed their lungs from this toxic shit!

@RealTheForce Shit I been there and bounced back and it made me the man I am today. Now I’m sober form any substance

Thanks 4 sharing. My dad broke his back & got addicted for many years to pain meds. He got clean & was so proud of himself. He injured his back again & was so scared of taking meds again he took his life 3/1, I found him 3/8. It’s a torture I don’t wish on anyone.

@RealTheForce Let’s not give them anymore power.

I don't know who those people are, I get the idea but they are not why I write this. I'm glad you made it through. I know what it takes, and that foundation is the rock that the builder refused. Suicide is my darkest night, so I see your statement.

@JoeSaintJames81 This was an amazing speech. Thank you. Also highly functional addict at one point. Recovering Addicts are absolutely the best and most beautiful souls. Stronger by 1000x than those who criticize will ever be. Thank you for sharing.
