You know you’ve done the work and healed when it doesn’t trigger you anymore and you’ve reached inner peace. Inspires me to know that the other side is reachable
@jadebel7006 as you develop emotional maturity in your own life, you'll learn there is a huge difference between confronting your life and experiences with honesty, and being stuck in a victimized/defensive mindset. Josh is his own person (people forget that) who is being honest about his experience and struggle, and he has that right. Some random who's had nothing to do with his life has no place or say about that.
@@jadebel7006he stayed with her because at the time he didn’t have the confidence to leave. it sometimes takes dozens of times to leave an abusive relationship for it to stick. he luckily gained confidence and came out much better for it.
That indifference.. that knowing you’re going to be okay, showing gratitude, and just wishing people the best.. that’s growth and healing at its best! Good for you, Josh! 💫
I'm so sorry these people are still trying, but look at the strength you've gathered and the bravery. You've built such a beautiful life for yourself and your family are very lucky to have you. I'm really truly proud of you. This video brings tears to my eyes because I know you've had your fairshare of roller-coasters, but you now have a team of people sitting on those roller-coasters with you and I'm teary eyed because life is tricky. I'm really proud of you though. My therapist was sharing about the other side with me yesterday since there's a lot going on for me, so it is wild to hear you saying very similar. Just have to keep trying every day at the moment. Thank you for your words Josh. Take care friend and I appreciate you very much.
@@JoshuaDTVI definitely had my moments I think where anxiety definitely got on top of me because I was scared to be seen as "too much" or "overboard" but that's my own stuff that was probably making its way in, I appreciate you saying that very much and thank you. You've provided light for me in more ways than you know 🩵
@@jadebel7006you’re constantly contradicting yourself. you said she didn’t even do anything that bad but then you’re chastising him for staying with her when she did what she did. like I said before, when you’re in an abusive relationship it can take dozens of tries to leave before you leave for good.
Went through and I’m still going through similar stuff with my narcissistic ex. It’s been years but it’s still triggering because he was so so so very abusive. The pain and trauma doesn’t go away, we just get more healed.
I VERY rarely send anyone I don't know personally a DM, but the rare time I do, it is only to try to give support, encouragement, or positivity. No one needs more negativity in their life, so I'll be danged if more of it's going to come from me. Sending love!
That is how you know you've healed, grown and moved on with your life. They no longer have any power over you and you are in such a better place than them.
I try not to feel sorry for those people, but isn't it so sad they want to hurt others so much? They are so unhappy and very likely treated horribly that they need to lash out to others, even strangers, to feel better. So glad you're doing well and you're able to ignore it. It's tough to ignore, I know.
You’re really helping me through a dark period right now and helping to keep me motivated to continue working toward healing and growing, even when I feel like I am drowning and fear I will never come out the other side into a better life. I keep holding on and putting in small progress everyday and people like you help me to do that. Thank you 💕
proud of you, I can’t imagine how hard that must be…despite the healing you’ve done, it’s crazy to have to contend with so much direct criticism about your life.
I partially feel like I asked for it to an extent… with the idea of hoping people will have some empathy and compassion at the same time. It’s a mixed bag ya know?
Hi Josh! Your probably not going to see this message because you get a lot of messages, but I want to say that I'm proud of you. I have watched your videos since the beginning of your TH-cam journey. Thank you for being so real and honest in your videos, now a days I watch TH-camrs and they aren't real and saying everything is okay and they aren't. I'm praying for you and I hope that you have a great early thanksgiving. Take care ❤
happy to see you in a better place, was an avid viewer in your previous life and happy to he back. i still have and actively listen your songs on my regular daily Playlist so I'm glad to be supporting the right person.
It’s pretty clear to me that you have grown way beyond your past and those relationships. Here’s to finding peace and understanding that while other people may not be able to move on, you can. 💕 You are inspiring.
I needed to hear this so much from someone who has been through enough to believe that the hard shit can truly turn around. If that makes sense. Whew. Proud of you. I will probably replay this on afternoons i need a mental reset.
Hi Joshua! I'm so sorry there's still so much negativity that hurtful people are sending your way. This is so unnecessary and upsetting. Sending you, Pamela and your loved ones lots of love and positivity to focus on all the good things in life ❤
And this is why you are a truly wonderful person. Giving grace to the trolls and turning that negative into a positive and uplifting message. This is why you will always have so many people in your corner, rooting for you and cheering you on. Much love from across the pond ❤.
You've overcome a lot...more than we know I'm sure...and doing it publicly. I hope you know that you're helping a lot of people see that heartbreak/problems can be overcome and that time does in fact heal all wounds. Thank you for sharing this.
It's amazing how we don't realize how much we've grown until our own reaction to something takes us by surprise. It's such a great feeling. ☺ I'm happy to hear you've had one of those moments and to hear how far you've come in your healing!
Josh, watching this video was beautiful I followed you for years and watched both you and your ex I no longer watch her, but I look forward to seeing your videos. I myself have went through years and years of emotional abuse that was unfortunately sometimes physical. And like you said they are good days and bad days fortunately just like you I'm having more good days! I'm proud to see how far you come I can't wait to see where life takes you and I hope to see more!
@@JoshuaDTV thank you !!! I'm currently getting ready for finals. I'm 28 and I took a giant risk by going back to school. I'm currently earning my associates in psychology it's so extremely exhausting but so worth it!
Josh, You are such a good communicator and I feel so very blessed to have found you on TH-cam. You are moving in the right direction and are an inspiration to me and all of your viewers (I am twice your age). I believe that you have a calling as an inspirational speaker (or maybe a minister?). Anyway, you are a very wise soul and I appreciate every one of your videos. Thank you, thank you, thank you for returning to TH-cam. Happy Thanksgiving!
There’s the obvious pain of losing a relationship you thought you wanted and loved but the extension of family lost through that person. You bond deeply with the ppl in your life. I always hurt for you due to losing that extended family as well as that one person who should’ve loved you more than they did. I felt the pain of them seemingly just dropping you as someone they cared about. I’ve been through two divorces through my parents. I’m sorry you had to go through that and I’m so happy you’re out of that darkness! You deserve Pamala she so sweet!
God will never give you anything you can’t handle. I have watched you for many many years and I love seeing how much you have grown as a person. Keep your head up and much love to you and Pam!
aaaaand I'm crying again. God, Josh, I hope you're right. you used the exact word I've been feeling: drowning. I am in it, and I am burnt out, and I don't know what to do. But thank you for being the hope I needed today, and the person pointing to the light at the end of the tunnel for me.
I’m so proud of you, Joshua!! You’ve been through so much and you’ve come back stronger than ever! Thanks for being such an inspiration!! Happy Thanksgiving to you and Pamela!
Other people’s opinions about you are none of your business! Live your life, don’t forget you are loved by someone that chose you, and don’t let miserable people bring you down.
That comment only works when they aren't sending you messages saying the horrible things. When you go looking for those comments...that's when it applies.
@@disneygirljamie9974 I didn't take the comment as harsh. The 1st sentence is a popular quote...and when used correctly, is true. The rest is also nice...at least to me.
@@disneygirljamie9974 how is an exclamation point harsh? It is a punctuation to indicate strong feelings or to show emphasis. If I wrote “I love you Josh!” Would that be different is some way?
The fact that fans of a certain someone who has obviously done no work on themselves, taken no honest accountability for their horrible actions, would come at someone who is so kind and caring and has done so much work on themselves, and worked to make amends is just exhausting. Their refusal to take off their blinders is pathetic.
JOSH, YOU HAVE COME SO FAR AND HEALED SO MUCH!!!!! You absolutely did win. What a truly wonderful and blessed life you are leading with an equally wonderful partner!
No one slides through life on a rainbow. Things happen and pain will reveal itself in seasons. But growth & healing will come in seasons as well. It all fell apart to bring you to this exact season of blessings. ❤
ooooh that feeling when you realise you've healed and no longer react to something that would normally trigger you is truly magical, I know that warmth oh so well ❤🩹
Thank you Josh for sharing these thoughts. I had a really bad day today, and life has been pretty tough lately and hearing your message brought tears to my eyes (in a good way). I needed to hear this. Thanks for the encouraging message🙏🏻
Proud of you Josh! Youve come so far and it's so amazing to see you realize that yourself. You truly truly deserve it. Ive always read you as a positive and genuine person and even with all the unknown that wasnt shared, as its no ones business, i knew you got this. I knew you would bounce back wonderfully and get the happiness and peace and recognition you truly deserve. Hugs! You did it!
I'm glad you're not affected by those comments anymore. Its a testiment of the hard work that you put in for yourself. You've healed! I'm so happy for you. You definitely deserve all the beautiful and wonderful things that come in life, and its great that you get to experience all that with Pamela!
Love this. Been watching your life journey and love how you’ve been able to come out the other side on top. My life also took a turn around when it took a turn for you and it’s been hard. Life is really hard. Things are finally kind of going in the upward direction finally but it’s still a struggle. Anyway just wanted to know I think you’re amazing and a really great person.
Josh, u have been in this game long enough to know that the trolls will keep trolling no matter how much time has past. Don't ever regret ur past because it is a reflection of who u r now. We wouldn't be who we r now if it weren't for our past. So embrace it.😊
@@tracyreis5438 also, absolutely NO shame! I feel like that video you posted yrs ago haunts you and I wish it wouldn’t. You had every right to be reacting from a place of pain. You had been wounded from so many angles, like your whole world was crumbling down around you. And when that was posted, I was all “yeah!” I was feeling vengeful n your behalf. It was a totally natural response. (And yet you were still the bigger person and didn’t post the follow up!) What is unnatural is how you have been able to turn that dark pain into something so beautiful, magical, lovely, inspiring! I hope you’ll put your hand on your heart and feel compassion when that version of you creeps up ♥️ he was worthy too and nothing to be ashamed of @JoshDTV
That was a very awesome message you've always been a awesome person event through so much and I'm so glad you're doing well from my hometown area I used to see you every so often I don't know if you live in the same area anymore not but wherever you are I wish you prayers and you have a beautiful wife I've been following you for many many years I used to love your sister's cooking recipes I miss her LOL so keep doing what you're doing and I think you're a good inspiration for people
This made me grin from ear to ear! I So happy you are in that place Josh! I definitely have a few people in my life that I fear running into and hearing you talk about it made me feel less ashamed of that and also helped me remember it will get better! 🥰
Good for you Josh! Im so pleased how far youve come emotionally and physically.Pamela has such a spirit about her that radiates joy and goodness and thats what you need and have .Your life has improved massively in the last few years and you deserve that. Youve learned to love yourself and not listen to those outside and internal negative voices that only know how to tear down not build up. Im glad you arent letting these people get to you anymore .These people must have a very sad life to feel the need to do this to another and I hope that some how they find something/someone in their lives to help them love themselves enough to spread kindness not hate.Take care and au revoir.
I've followed you for a while now and you seem more genuine, vulnerable, and real then ever recently. I look forward to seeing your continued journey. You're a charming, sweet, loving, talented and funny man and I hope you never forget it.
Dear Josh, I understand what you are saying SO much!! And can definitely relate. I can only hope that trolls on the internet can also imagine how it would feel if some of the most painful experiences of their lives were on the internet for people to judge. I was just thinking about you this morning because I feel like anyone who’s ever been in a toxic relationship should understand. Even when you are together you are *constantly* trying to appease that person, dodge fights, and win the approval of someone who’s never going to give it. But you do & say out of character things but in your case the freaking internet was watching and weighing in. I also believe it’s so dangerous when people perpetuate a false narrative that certain types can put out. Except later on as i healed i realized that who was i to judge because i used to believe my ex, too. So i had to understand how easy it would be for other people to believe his tales of woe. Sorry for making this super wordy but i just wanted you to know that Im so proud of you 👏🏼 and so happy for you to have found love ❤️ with Pamela. And i’ll be a forever ♾️ supporter. You got this and i can’t speak for everyone but i do have your back. Sending hugs 🤗 for you, Pamela, Shadow and Marty Also, yes, I do remember that feeling when running into people from the past. It always caused my chest to start pounding so bad.
It makes me happy to hear you express yourself this way. I remember being around during the worst of it 😞 but now? Wow, what joy! To know yourself and know who is on your side, ugh, i LOVE that for you, man!
Josh, that’s amazing that people and their opinions don’t trigger you anymore. That shows how much you have healed and no matter what people say about you. You know what you have been through. You definitely have won. ❤And seeing you in your calm and peaceful era is so worth it.
If there is one word I could think of to describe you Josh it would be GENUINE ❤you’re kind, you’re thoughtful and deep down you want the best for others. Pamela is perfect for you, you deserve all the good things ❤
I'm proud of you. So lucky in love. Your spirit in a healthy place. Knowing that not everything is perfect, but you still feel balance. Sutch a good place to be in. A hard thing to do, but doable if you keep working on it ❤ also, healing words are said. Thank you
KEEP ON singing Covers and your own Music of how your feeling!! 🎉 Do fun and positive things while you recover! You've gone through a lot!! ❤ Pamela is an angel!!! We had times without insurance, it was the hardest but somehow I worked with 5 kids to have insurance. It's a season and things will work out!!
BRITT!!!! Well, I think I’ve gotten more graceful with time… we both know I was a sloppy mess for a while. But hearing you say that carries a lot of weight with me.
Don't read them, only read the reliable DM's : ) A lot of the people on the internet want to stir things up and ruin everything for the rest of us. It is great to hear you are on the other side of it all! You deserve all the best in your life!!
It's been a long road and you have healed. I'm so proud of the man you are today. This was the message I also needed today. I'm so happy you and Pamela found your way back to each other and where you belong. ❤️
I'll never understand finding the time to go to someone's profile you aren't a fan of & try be mean. Like go move on with life & be happy and send happy messages to friends or people you're a fan of. People are weird. Glad you're okay very proud of you 💜💜💜
Josh, I hope you, Pamela and your family have a happy Thanksgiving! I'm so so proud of everything you've overcome. You truly put the work in and look at you now!! ❤
I love seeing this improved Josh that just gets to be himself. In the past sometimes it felt like you had to put on a show, but now you're just being you. And I think you is pretty beautiful! Beautiul spirit and soul!
So glad to see you're thriving. You are a really good person and you deserve to live in peace. Thank you for your kindness and for always giving good advice. 😘
Commenting here that you're an amazing example of resilience and loving yourself enough to not give up! I hope you get enough $ from YT to get your surgery
It brings “sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me” to a whole new level when you finally reach that inner peace. Also, I heard someone say once, “have the day you deserve” - this can mean so many things. 😉 Keep being your true self, Josh!
You can really see your growth as you look back and see how far you’ve come and how much real love is in your life. I’m so encouraged by your message and I do forget sometimes how I am not my past. I am me. I’ve grown and changed. That feels great. Thanks❤❤❤
Yassss…. Josh🎉🎉🎉 i am so happy for you… you have taken accountability for your mistakes and you live your life genuinely and now you are at peace because of your happiness and love for yourself and pamala. I always knew that you didn’t deserve any of the things that happened. I could just tell you were an respectful great guy. I’m so happy to see you back and living your life.
Josh, I only discovered you through all the negativity, the people who Tried to bring you down. You Sir are an inspiration, you Sir Deserve only the best. Thank you so much for being raw n real! Am an elderly lady and your words are such wisdom 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 ‘Do not let the behaviour of others destroy your inner peace’ - Dalai Lama Nobody can bring you peace but yourself…takes a lot of work, introspection and acceptance of self 💖💖
2:39 Good for you! Remember the people commenting hate have bigger problems than you. There are many 'public figures' I dislike, but I wouldnt dm them to tell them lol i just live my life lol. These people are unhinged, and I'm so glad you can see that. You are healing. Speaking your truth has found you the support you didnt think you had, but unfortunately, there will always be someone who wants to drag you down to their level. ❤
I loved this! Thank you for sharing. I really resonated with this, I also had a bad relationship in the past. I didn’t realize how toxic it was until I got out of it. I was completely blindsided by this person, and I was at the point where I thought I’d never fall in love again. Then, without even looking for it, I met my husband and it all fell into place. All that heartache from the past, I am now grateful for because I met the love of my life and my life is the best it’s been. Time and healing really does wonders to the heart and soul ♥️♥️
I remember watching your old videos when you were in a very dark place & I related to every word you spoke. I was also struggling with an addiction & I was living in my car, estranged from my family, etc. I had very little hope that anything would ever change. I watched you begin to start over & bare your heart. You gave me so much hope that if you could come out of it, I could too. I'll have 4 years sober in May 2025!! I live in my own apartment, I have a 19 month old daughter who is the most incredible human ❤️ I've mended my relationship with my family & we are as close as we were before I was an addict. We do recover 🎉 Congratulations on all your achievements 👏🏻 You've worked really hard & you continue to inspire me. I don't usually comment, but I want to support you & I hope to keep seeing you even after you get what you need to fix that ankle!!!
I'm so happy for you Josh Im so glad your in a good mental space now and it's really lovely to see you posting again I waited years for you to return so bloody happy for you and your family so much love to you all ❤

I was just wondering too if she still watches his stuff, people like that don't just move on, it's an obsession.
Literally.
she and her fans are obsessed with him..sad
JOSH, YOU HAVE COME SO FAR AND HEALED SO MUCH!!!!! You absolutely did win. What a truly wonderful and blessed life you are leading with an equally wonderful partner!
No one slides through life on a rainbow. Things happen and pain will reveal itself in seasons. But growth & healing will come in seasons as well. It all fell apart to bring you to this exact season of blessings. ❤
ooooh that feeling when you realise you've healed and no longer react to something that would normally trigger you is truly magical, I know that warmth oh so well ❤🩹
Beautiful Josh!!! You deserve your happy honey!!! ❤
As do you!
he really does!!
Thank you Josh for sharing these thoughts. I had a really bad day today, and life has been pretty tough lately and hearing your message brought tears to my eyes (in a good way). I needed to hear this. Thanks for the encouraging message🙏🏻
Realizing something that hurt you so bad doesn’t trigger you anymore is an amazing feeling! You deserve happiness .
Proud of you Josh! Youve come so far and it's so amazing to see you realize that yourself. You truly truly deserve it. Ive always read you as a positive and genuine person and even with all the unknown that wasnt shared, as its no ones business, i knew you got this. I knew you would bounce back wonderfully and get the happiness and peace and recognition you truly deserve. Hugs! You did it!
I'm glad you're not affected by those comments anymore. Its a testiment of the hard work that you put in for yourself. You've healed! I'm so happy for you. You definitely deserve all the beautiful and wonderful things that come in life, and its great that you get to experience all that with Pamela!
I appreciate that
The more you stay busy and fill your days with love and positivity there will be no room for negativity from anyone.❤
Love this. Been watching your life journey and love how you’ve been able to come out the other side on top. My life also took a turn around when it took a turn for you and it’s been hard. Life is really hard. Things are finally kind of going in the upward direction finally but it’s still a struggle. Anyway just wanted to know I think you’re amazing and a really great person.
Josh, u have been in this game long enough to know that the trolls will keep trolling no matter how much time has past. Don't ever regret ur past because it is a reflection of who u r now. We wouldn't be who we r now if it weren't for our past. So embrace it.😊
Noted and thank youuu!!!
@@tracyreis5438 also, absolutely NO shame! I feel like that video you posted yrs ago haunts you and I wish it wouldn’t. You had every right to be reacting from a place of pain. You had been wounded from so many angles, like your whole world was crumbling down around you. And when that was posted, I was all “yeah!” I was feeling vengeful n your behalf. It was a totally natural response. (And yet you were still the bigger person and didn’t post the follow up!) What is unnatural is how you have been able to turn that dark pain into something so beautiful, magical, lovely, inspiring! I hope you’ll put your hand on your heart and feel compassion when that version of you creeps up ♥️ he was worthy too and nothing to be ashamed of @JoshDTV
That was a very awesome message you've always been a awesome person event through so much and I'm so glad you're doing well from my hometown area I used to see you every so often I don't know if you live in the same area anymore not but wherever you are I wish you prayers and you have a beautiful wife I've been following you for many many years I used to love your sister's cooking recipes I miss her LOL so keep doing what you're doing and I think you're a good inspiration for people
We moved but I still visit when I can!!! Thank you for sharing such a kind message with me. I’ll pass it along!
This video spoke to my soul. Thank you. Your growth and healing and kindness throughout is inspiring and a genuine joy to watch 🥰
he is
This made me grin from ear to ear! I
So happy you are in that place Josh! I definitely have a few people in my life that I fear running into and hearing you talk about it made me feel less ashamed of that and also helped me remember it will get better! 🥰
Good for you Josh! Im so pleased how far youve come emotionally and physically.Pamela has such a spirit about her that radiates joy and goodness and thats what you need and have .Your life has improved massively in the last few years and you deserve that. Youve learned to love yourself and not listen to those outside and internal negative voices that only know how to tear down not build up. Im glad you arent letting these people get to you anymore .These people must have a very sad life to feel the need to do this to another and I hope that some how they find something/someone in their lives to help them love themselves enough to spread kindness not hate.Take care and au revoir.
I've followed you for a while now and you seem more genuine, vulnerable, and real then ever recently. I look forward to seeing your continued journey. You're a charming, sweet, loving, talented and funny man and I hope you never forget it.
Dear Josh, I understand what you are saying SO much!! And can definitely relate. I can only hope that trolls on the internet can also imagine how it would feel if some of the most painful experiences of their lives were on the internet for people to judge.
I was just thinking about you this morning because I feel like anyone who’s ever been in a toxic relationship should understand. Even when you are together you are *constantly* trying to appease that person, dodge fights, and win the approval of someone who’s never going to give it. But you do & say out of character things but in your case the freaking internet was watching and weighing in. I also believe it’s so dangerous when people perpetuate a false narrative that certain types can put out. Except later on as i healed i realized that who was i to judge because i used to believe my ex, too. So i had to understand how easy it would be for other people to believe his tales of woe.
Sorry for making this super wordy but i just wanted you to know that Im so proud of you 👏🏼 and so happy for you to have found love ❤️ with Pamela. And i’ll be a forever ♾️ supporter. You got this and i can’t speak for everyone but i do have your back. Sending hugs 🤗 for you, Pamela, Shadow and Marty
Also, yes, I do remember that feeling when running into people from the past. It always caused my chest to start pounding so bad.
Thank you for sharing all of that with me!
very goood message josh, i know exactly the feeling you're describing
It makes me happy to hear you express yourself this way. I remember being around during the worst of it 😞 but now? Wow, what joy! To know yourself and know who is on your side, ugh, i LOVE that for you, man!
Josh, that’s amazing that people and their opinions don’t trigger you anymore. That shows how much you have healed and no matter what people say about you. You know what you have been through. You definitely have won. ❤And seeing you in your calm and peaceful era is so worth it.
If there is one word I could think of to describe you Josh it would be GENUINE ❤you’re kind, you’re thoughtful and deep down you want the best for others. Pamela is perfect for you, you deserve all the good things ❤
That is a huge step in healing!!! Stay positive Josh!❤
You won at life in the end ❤ We all love you, Pamela, Shadow and Marty!
So true
Barely hanging in there but hopefully that day comes for me soon too. Glad to hear you’re doing better, keep on keeping on 😊
I'm proud of you. So lucky in love. Your spirit in a healthy place. Knowing that not everything is perfect, but you still feel balance. Sutch a good place to be in. A hard thing to do, but doable if you keep working on it ❤ also, healing words are said. Thank you
KEEP ON singing Covers and your own Music of how your feeling!! 🎉 Do fun and positive things while you recover! You've gone through a lot!! ❤ Pamela is an angel!!! We had times without insurance, it was the hardest but somehow I worked with 5 kids to have insurance. It's a season and things will work out!!
Car Talks; love that. Glad to see you responding loud and proud.
Yes!!!
You’ve handled all of this with grace Josh.
BRITT!!!! Well, I think I’ve gotten more graceful with time… we both know I was a sloppy mess for a while. But hearing you say that carries a lot of weight with me.
Making 4 vids about her in the last month for views is graceful? Lol
Came here to say, I agree!!
Don't read them, only read the reliable DM's : ) A lot of the people on the internet want to stir things up and ruin everything for the rest of us. It is great to hear you are on the other side of it all! You deserve all the best in your life!!
I needed this more than you know. Thank you
Hope you’re ok. Keep leaning into the light. 💡
sending love to you too
@@JoshuaDTV thanks Josh. You really are a good person
@@MusicLover-lh2uh thank you so much ❤️
Inner peace is priceless ❤ congrats, Josh 🎉
Absolutely
I’m so happy how far you came. YES YOU DID WIN BTW 😍
Same
Josh you are thriving - it’s great to see!
love this! Been here since a long time ago lol When u came to Addison, Tx did your show. Ill always support u and pamela im living for this ☺️
It's been a long road and you have healed. I'm so proud of the man you are today. This was the message I also needed today. I'm so happy you and Pamela found your way back to each other and where you belong. ❤️
I'll never understand finding the time to go to someone's profile you aren't a fan of & try be mean. Like go move on with life & be happy and send happy messages to friends or people you're a fan of. People are weird.
Glad you're okay very proud of you 💜💜💜
You've done the work. Proud of you!
Josh, I hope you, Pamela and your family have a happy Thanksgiving! I'm so so proud of everything you've overcome. You truly put the work in and look at you now!! ❤
I love the message you’re spreading and I’m so happy that you have healed❤
I love seeing this improved Josh that just gets to be himself. In the past sometimes it felt like you had to put on a show, but now you're just being you. And I think you is pretty beautiful! Beautiul spirit and soul!
So glad to see you're thriving. You are a really good person and you deserve to live in peace. Thank you for your kindness and for always giving good advice. 😘
Commenting here that you're an amazing example of resilience and loving yourself enough to not give up! I hope you get enough $ from YT to get your surgery
Thank you!!! I hope so too!!!
@@JoshuaDTVdid your DR offer a payment plan for the surgery?
So happy for you Josh! Hope you enjoyed your workout. :)
It brings “sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me” to a whole new level when you finally reach that inner peace. Also, I heard someone say once, “have the day you deserve” - this can mean so many things. 😉 Keep being your true self, Josh!
You can really see your growth as you look back and see how far you’ve come and how much real love is in your life. I’m so encouraged by your message and I do forget sometimes how I am not my past. I am me. I’ve grown and changed. That feels great. Thanks❤❤❤
Happy Thanksgiving Josh, Pamela, and family ❤
Joshua you are fantastic. Never forget it!
He is!!!
Proud and happy for you, Josh! 🫶 You and your family deserve all the best.
forever proud of you josh! you ended up on the good side and so many others did too. keep on keeping on
We are here for you. 🎈🎈
Yes 💯!! Same. The story i told you when i first met you in 2016. This was me. So proud of you! Much love to you!
Very mature and wise!
He is totally ❤
Yassss…. Josh🎉🎉🎉 i am so happy for you… you have taken accountability for your mistakes and you live your life genuinely and now you are at peace because of your happiness and love for yourself and pamala. I always knew that you didn’t deserve any of the things that happened. I could just tell you were an respectful great guy. I’m so happy to see you back and living your life.
Josh, I only discovered you through all the negativity, the people who Tried to bring you down. You Sir are an inspiration, you Sir Deserve only the best. Thank you so much for being raw n real! Am an elderly lady and your words are such wisdom 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 ‘Do not let the behaviour of others destroy your inner peace’ - Dalai Lama
Nobody can bring you peace but yourself…takes a lot of work, introspection and acceptance of self 💖💖
Amen!!
So so proud of you.
Same
I just love you guys, so genuine ❤
this is so beautiful and powerful. thanks for the reminder that this too shall pass.
Thanks for keeping it real!
Youre doing great Josh!!!!
2:39 Good for you! Remember the people commenting hate have bigger problems than you. There are many 'public figures' I dislike, but I wouldnt dm them to tell them lol i just live my life lol. These people are unhinged, and I'm so glad you can see that. You are healing. Speaking your truth has found you the support you didnt think you had, but unfortunately, there will always be someone who wants to drag you down to their level. ❤
I loved this! Thank you for sharing. I really resonated with this, I also had a bad relationship in the past. I didn’t realize how toxic it was until I got out of it. I was completely blindsided by this person, and I was at the point where I thought I’d never fall in love again. Then, without even looking for it, I met my husband and it all fell into place. All that heartache from the past, I am now grateful for because I met the love of my life and my life is the best it’s been. Time and healing really does wonders to the heart and soul ♥️♥️
I remember watching your old videos when you were in a very dark place & I related to every word you spoke. I was also struggling with an addiction & I was living in my car, estranged from my family, etc. I had very little hope that anything would ever change. I watched you begin to start over & bare your heart. You gave me so much hope that if you could come out of it, I could too. I'll have 4 years sober in May 2025!! I live in my own apartment, I have a 19 month old daughter who is the most incredible human ❤️ I've mended my relationship with my family & we are as close as we were before I was an addict. We do recover 🎉 Congratulations on all your achievements 👏🏻 You've worked really hard & you continue to inspire me. I don't usually comment, but I want to support you & I hope to keep seeing you even after you get what you need to fix that ankle!!!
I'm so happy for you Josh Im so glad your in a good mental space now and it's really lovely to see you posting again I waited years for you to return so bloody happy for you and your family so much love to you all ❤
