a new chapter...

I'm finally ready to open up about what I've been going through lately... felt mixed feelings about getting this out there, but if this can be helpful for even just one person, it's worth it. I filmed this in the few weeks right after I went through a break-up when I was most vulnerable and sad. Over a month later, I'm already feeling like myself again and my heart is full of gratitude and excitement for this new beginning.

Thank you for being there for me and for being the best community...

I got divorced at 34... 4 years later I found the love of my life, made a baby and built a pizzeria and art gallery in our front yard in Panama - about 200m from our home surf break. I'm sorry for your life transitions, change is never easy, but sometimes they are our biggest gifts. Sending you immense love.

I know it sounds so cliche, but I'm a firm believer that things happen for a reason, good or bad. You're a strong woman. Take the time to figure out who you truly are outside of a relationship. And the best part is building a relationship with yourself. Stay strong eryn things do get better.

Hi Eryn, I'm a Japanese surfer girl from Ichinomiya(where you visited with your mom!) I'm so sorry for your lost and thank you for sharing the story when you are having a difficult period. I just wanna send my huge love to you from Japan. Did you know that many Japanese surfer girls follow you and are inspired by you? Your friends are everywhere in the world! Please come to visit me and my surfer girl friends to Ichinomiya and let's surf together! lol Love and Hug, May.

“Loving what you have and not idealizing what you lost”. You nailed it at 4:46 of this video. Words to live by.

[VictoriaSylvies]

I know this will probably never be seen and that is okay but your videos have been my source of inspiration, peace and motivation for about 3ish years now. Whenever I feel anxious or alone I’ll come straight to your channel and I feel calm. We are truly in this together ♥️ all of us

Hey Erin, I went through a career-ending sudden serious illness and it was absolutely devastating. I had to grieve the loss of the life I had planned for myself. Please take time to heal. We will be here for you when you're ready to return!

[sabrina_alexa]

Thank you for being so vulnerable and open when you don't owe any explanation to anyone. Your words are truly touching. In some kind of way, I think because of its rawness and authenticity, this now happens to be my favorite video of yours. All things must pass - We are rooting for you, take care 🤍

[alisalynn]

Grieving my divorce took me over 3 years, give yourself time! I grew so much in that period and I am hoping the same for you. Giving you virtual hugs. Thanks for being vulnerable and sharing with everyone 💕🫶🏻

My 9 year relationship just ended as well, this video helped me more than I can express

Eryn, I have been following you for years now, and it breaks my heart to see you sad. You have brought joy to many lives and it's our time to be here for you. I am sure many of your subscribers will tell you the same thing, that losing loved ones is unfortunately part of life. It's true. All I know is that time heals no matter what. You're an amazing lady in so many ways. You don't need to change anything about yourself, and you couldn't even if you tried. I hope your pain eases sooner than later and you get back to your old self, because that's the Eryn we all love. Be strong and you will get through this. All the best my friend.

Thank you Erin, my boyfriend of 4 years broke up with me in January. It’s been a rollercoaster of emotions. Wishing you love and healing, it’s a hard change but it’s nice knowing that we aren’t alone in all of this. Sending love❤️

[mckennabedford]

Break ups suck and it takes a long time to fully let that person go, but I promise you in a few years you will be so grateful you broke up. You’ll look at how full your life is and how you would have none of it if you were still at that relationship. You have such a wonderful life ahead of you ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[ngrace]

Aw Erin <3 I noticed that you were missing online and hoped you were ok. I'm so sorry to hear about the break up. Hope you're doing alright and wishing you the best for 2024 x

[death_knell]

I’m so sorry for your loss. Remember, it’s all Gods plan. I know it’ll hurt for a long time, but you are more than pain and guilt. You are so strong and I know you’ll grow and better things are coming for you. Love you Eryn 💜✨

[static_angel]

Thank you for sharing and being so open and vulnerable. I'm currently going through the same thing you are, a breakup/divorce. 4 years together, one married. I felt my world turn upside down initially. As time passes, days have been improving. Some days are better than others, but it's all apart of the healing journey. Now, onto healing and finding my truest self. Even on the toughest days, let yourself just feel. And remind yourself, you are on your personal journey to ultimate greatness. Sending hugs and love your way.

[veronicawoodlief]

Ugh. I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It sounds like you’re heading in the right direction, even if you don’t know what that is just yet. Thank you for sharing. I’m going through a really hard time right now too and identify with so much that you said. I’m trusting that taking just one small step at a time and being guided by what I want my life to feel like will get me to where I’m meant to be. 💙

I know a lot of spiritual people that are going „through it“ since the beginning of this year. Including me. It‘s like the biggest challenge before the final destination. This is the year that everything falls away that no longer serves us (beings of light) and we step into a season of who we are. I know the past weeks have been REALLY tough. But we are getting closer to our divine self. Love and Light 🤍

[leah.waghorn]

This is so tough, Eryn. Breakups are incredibly painful. You are remarkable in how you are vulnerable, honest and already identifying what you want moving forward. Wishing you nothing but the best. You are in my thoughts and prayers x

[ninastemple]

Thank you for sharing, as hard as it is. I appreciate when people show the not so fun times on social, it’s more real, and healthier for everyone.

[CaseyJohnston]

I'm so sorry for what you're going through. I've become such a fan of your content, appreciate you sharing this and admire your strength.
