a new chapter...

[@PantelPhoto]

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.

[@shimmerbeautyXO]

What is your pizzeria called? I’ll be going back to Panama this year!

[@Crazylifeofruthie]

Wow 😮

[@Lexiisxin]

So inspiring. Thank you for sharing! ❤

[@Jack_Mom]

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.

[@melissaromaine2138]

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.

[@briantracy5529]

“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

[@oliviaharding6188]

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!

[@mariah27]

Hey.. I've been struggling with an injury for the past 7 months...I don't know how long will it take me yet, to fully come back physically, since I'm a professional dancer...but I've been worried about my future.... I so feel you..and I'm so sorry, reading this..but it resonated with me on a deep level..I pray all works out great for you and that you have the strength to pull through... I'm sending you a big warm hug!..🥹❤

[@chelseavanhaur715]

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

[@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 🤍

[@alisalynn1]

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 💕🫶🏻

[@Z5280-z7f]

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.

[@mckennabedford9301]

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 ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@ngrace294]

Aw Erin

[@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 💜✨

[@simplyhannah28]

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❤️

[@andreamariagrace]

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 🤍

[@HelenofTravel]

Needed to hear this! I’m going through a transformation and I’m here for it. ❤

[@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

[@static_angel13]

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.

[@marlondrifts]

Sorry to hear that, you’ll find yourself again & remember something’s are temporary & happiness is whatever you decide on making it.

[@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. 💙

[@katieo3421]

Eryn, I am going through my first longterm relationship breakup and came back to this video to watch it from a completely changed perspective. Everything about this past 3 weeks has been so, so much harder and more painful than I ever could have imagined, and I too have a whole new level of empathy for people going through this kind of grief too, or anything in general. I find that I'm very much stuck idealizing what I've lost instead of finding the beauty in what I have, and I appreciate that shift in perspective you shared. I hope I'll get to a place soon where it doesn't hurt so much, where I'm not so afraid of what the future holds, that I don't lose the optimism and joy for life I once had for good. Breakups are devastating, but I hope my heart will heal soon. 💜

[@melodeyrose]

the shock from this made me so sad! so sorry to hear about this tough season. i'm so happy that you are doing the work to strengthen yourself and to be healthy to be able to move on. that is the hardest thing i think anyone could face in a relationship esp the one you and yours had 😮‍💨 keep on going, taking one day at a time. love you eryn!

[@mientrasprobamos]

I want to say that you inspire my sister and me and we love you so much. We send a lovely hug and never forget how special you are for this world 🗺🫀👁⭐🏄🏻‍♀

[@rodhutchinson4478]

Hang in there girl. You have proved who you are, with inner strength, outer beauty and a great brain. Seek your balance and always remember that you are unique. Seek your spirit guide.

[@ninastemple235]

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.

[@kaelitully]

So beautiful and human! Grief is hard. You’re approaching it with compassion for yourself and just by sharing this vulnerability you’re leading the way for many others. This in itself it impact. Wishing you freedom 🩵

[@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.

[@fijijournal]

Your videos are truly inspiring, and I've been watching them while working. It's clear you have a wonderful circle of friends. I couldn't help but notice that the gentleman you were involved with didn't seem to be the right match for you. From watching your videos, it seems like you could benefit from maintaining a clear distinction between your online presence and your private life. It's essential to have that separation so that when the right person comes along, they can fully appreciate and enjoy the moments you share without any distractions. True love often finds us when we least expect it. Remember to take time for yourself, but don't stay away for too long. You're a remarkable individual, inside and out. Keep being your authentic self, and everything will fall into place.

[@ijaejay]

I been following you for quite some time I just want to say I support you in any way possible over time I fell in love with the persona you are such a beautiful soul...

[@armandedelacroix3634]

I never ever write a comment, but based on your mood and thoughts: Eryn, I started watching your Vlogs in hospital, waiting for heart surgery. It gave me positive and beautiful things to put my mind on and things to focus on when waiting at home to see how the surgery had turned out. Sending you a long hug.

[@DempseyMarks]

I really appreciate your openness and vulnerability in this video. I’m so sorry to hear that you’ve been going through a tough time. Know that your videos are a bright spot in so many people’s lives, including my own. Sending lots of love as you begin this next chapter!

[@itsLizzyLizz]

Hey Eryn, same 😕. Everything you said resonated and this is really hard, so I commend you for taking the high ride and wanting to better yourself, rather than self-sabotage. We have to be kind to ourselves.

[@lovelifementoring5399]

So sorry to hear that ❤ sending you love. It’s a really tough time and great things are coming for you. ❤

[@valeriepalmer926]

Big life transitions like this are so hard and keeping yourself mentally stable is challenging. Keep doing what you need to do for yourself. Thank you for sharing this vulnerable side that we can all relate to in some way

[@Marg5678]

Wishing you well. I hope you find healing and peace. ❤

[@melaniebollhalder4865]

And I was eagerly waiting for a wedding video. It all happens for a reason, especially the things that hurt... keep believing, you will find your soulmate

[@scruzsantos13]

Thank you for sharing and being vulnerable with us. Sending you love, positivity and healing while you're navigating this time girly

Life is like a book, it has many chapters, just go with the flow and follow your instincts.

[@LetYourSpiritGuideYou]

So much empathy through this video 😢. Breakups are never easy, but healing will come in time. Wishing you the best in this new phase of your journey! 💚

[@lyndseygc]

I’m so sorry for your grief! Thank you for being candid because it is easy to see your lovely videos and think everything perfect so thank you for being real. I know it is so hard to believe now, but you will find a different and better path! Remember grief isn’t linear so there will be good and bad days. But that doesn’t mean you aren’t growing. Privacy is important but please don’t stop posting. Your channel is really wonderful!

[@iamsherry124]

Two of my friends unexpectedly passed away.. 4 weeks apart...Its been crazy....grief is real and all of it is a reminder to LIVE cherish your family and friends and health.....Eryn you will be alright......get up and go out....LiFE awaits you❤

[@hopecook2614]

thank you for being vulnerable in this video, I have always admired and enjoyed your channel; it has made me miss the ocean when i am away for work. But just know to "walk through your pain" you will come out stronger. You are not alone

[@kittypawz27]

Yesss!!! Being ur own person and making choices for ur self is sooo vital and SO HARD it’s not easy thank you for sharing this personal video diary ❤

[@livialivia3470]

Eryn, everything will calm down, trust me. Nothing lasts forever! Think about it! Things will flow😃❤

[@selenator4life642]

Thank you for your valuable insights. When you say, "I feel like everything that's happening to me is a way to put me on a path that I'm meant to be on." You are exactly right sister... the universe guides us to the path that is most beneficial. All we have to do is recognize this, and go with the flow. All my love and support... we are in this together ♥⭐🏄🏻‍♀

[@mandyschreiner7279]

You are so amazing and strong and creative and a you help all of us destress watching your awesome surfing/traveling/gardening videos.ive been through so many bumps in the road,my mum passing away..my dad not talking to me anymore..my fur babies getting sick and passing away..my fiance losing job after job because he has a brain injury..but I keep going and these things just make us stronger and we find our selves again..Thank God.Keep going girl!Great new things are around the corner!🌴🌞😎

[@stephanevedere2550]

courage!tout ira mieux!le questionnement est legitime,preuve de votre inteligence et votre sensibilite!

[@BeStillandKnow0000]

the theme of nurturing what we already have and not idealizing what we lost is soooo key... you have always been beautiful, but I think you have shared a more mature aspect of you in this video and I'm so glad that you have been giving yourself the time to grief. You are whole with or without the thing you miss... I hope you take great care of yourself.

[@berejvv]

Your content has brought joy into my life and even helped me shift my mindset at times when I felt alone, living in CA. It also helped me get over the anxiety of doing things my myself, and I began romanticizing moments that I was taking for granted, while living in the amazing state all my life. I’m hoping that as a “community” or “following”, we can make a positive impact in your life and in a way, return the favor. ❤

[@FukaYamasaki]

今はとにかく辛くてしんどい日々だと思います。でもこれからも私たちは変わらず応援してます！！！

[@gershom86]

Thank you for sharing this. I was thinking of starting to journal, but I don't know what to write as a man. What you share is honestly really helpful. To more ocean healing!

[@thinagarrett]

I’m grateful to be seeing this video. The beginning of 2020 was like this for me, and it had nothing to do with Covid. I’m sorry you’re having to go through this, Eryn, but I admire your perseverance.

[@tanyaloscutoff8672]

I’m so sorry Eryn. Things are and will be hard, but you have support from amazing family and friends. And all of us in your community here support you, too. I love the quote, “Sometimes you just have to loose site of the shore to find new lands.” ❤

[@anoukwertje7026]

Dear Eryn, thank you very much for your honest words. It helped me a lot to see that I wasn't the only one struggling with these questions and thoughts. I wish you the best Everything turns out as it should

[@ytzep2012]

The duck dive at 3:30 is beautiful! Keep going forward.

[@sarahdavies9992]

Journaling has helped me through the last month...Your sentiments are so true. Thanks for your beautiful video, it made me feel less alone and that heart WILL heal soon. You and your videos are such a gift. Here is to 2024 being a year of change and growth and new blessings. Sending love and hugs Eryn xx

[@maddisonkilminster4603]

You’re a kind, absolute dream of a human. That will carry and you’ll be okay. Sending lots of love from SW UK! Look after yourself xx

[@jemstar7592]

Dear Eryn, I've been watching you for so many years and you've inspired me in so many ways. Going through hard things in life seems scary in the moment but I've learned that hard doesn't equal bad. When we can see the big picture and see life as an ocean with the difficulties as temporary waves then possibility opens up. Breathe. I'm so sorry you're going through this time.

[@oliviaberman9594]

I’m going throw my own period of grief of a serious relationship that entended beginning of February. Thanks for your words, your courage, kindness and realness. I want this year to be my inner healing and growing. I hope I get to have you, your words and your videos to inspire me, and guide me too a life I dream of. Cheers for us who will go throw our grief and will find our best version

[@julieg4638]

Eryn, you have such a beautiful spirit and you deserve a beautiful life. Everything happening right now is so hard and so painful but I feel like it will bring you to an even better place one day soon. Sending you all the love!!!

[@miriamalvizures5998]

❤I strongly admire your vulnerability and passion for life. I can listen and witness the pain in your voice as you talk about this life transitions. Thank you for being a role model to this community you’ve build and providing a safe space to express your heart break and loss.

[@ashleighhitchmough8385]

This was so beautiful to watch Eryn, and thank you so much for sharing

[@katiediaz6034]

I experienced the loss of a significant friendship in 2023. Journaling has helped me so much. ❤ and healing vibes to you!

[@lifeisdynamite2065]

Thank you for sharing all this things with us and I'm glad you find a safe space here. You're right, we never really know what people are going through, but the truth is it's important to stay true to ourselves. I've always appreciated your content and the way you think, as it has always helped me relax and feel good. I am sure you will overcome this hard time you are going through now and only good things will come your way. Today a quote came my way that I would like to share with you : "Believe in yourslef and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you grater than any obstacle. Have faith." Sending you lots of love, Eliza.

[@ashleejolyn5556]

Eryn- i’m so sorry that you’re going through such a transitional and hurtful time. Thank you for posting this because I recently left a five-year relationship and we actually got engaged and things just weren’t aligning the way that we wanted to so I understand where you’re at and how you feel. You are not alone. ❤️ I appreciate your authenticity and humbleness. All I can do is just pray, stay true to ourselves, and manifest good things. ☺️

[@karifeyen]

Well said, very relatable. Going through extreme hardship does genuinely give a new perspective on life

[@MizukoMermaid]

I know this feeling well, my relationship of 9 years ended and I was completely thrown off course of where I thought my life was going! They call it the ‘shattering’ as your entire reality is broken and you have to piece it back together. I remember grieving, then setting out to find myself and pursue the things that made me happy. I had no intention of finding someone else: I thought I’d be a single person for many years to really live it up! Haha. But somehow while enjoying myself I found someone who fit into my new life, and here we are 5 years later with a baby and I’m now so grateful I went through such a rough time. That’s not saying you need someone to complete yourself or be happy! I’m just saying that life has crazy ways of putting you on your path. Much love to you and I know you’ll be okay ❤️

[@xoxomichellelira]

YOU ARE NOT ALONE❤ finding new small passions, things to occupy that side of your mind. When you can't help it just send LOVE & LIGHT to the person up into the sky 😌 lost a 4 yr relationship and lost all belongings but years later I'm back stronger & wiser, you will be too🐛🦋

[@AraVahanian]

Hello. I can relate to some of what you said. This year 2 of my friends suddenly passed away due to illness, one of them less than a week ago. She passed away at home. And yes, journaling is a great thing. I try to make it consistent. "Practicing what I love" now that really resonates with me too. I know that you uploaded this video earlier this year and I'm just watching it now but I'm glad I saw this. Hope you feel better and get to where you want to in your life.

[@tiaterlaje]

The ocean is my healing place, too --- loss on all levels are difficult. Thank you for sharing your journey. I believe in privacy as a privilege as well. Stay well, Eryn.

[@richardcortezarcilla]

I'm sorry to hear this for you, long relationships that end for whatever existential reasons maybe is gut reaching. Your positive vibrations though is what you need most of all at this point, continue on that journey, for jesus and God will never leave you nor forsake you. Sun surf good food and friends that understand you is important. And when alone pray, and read God's word, some are ment. To be single in this life. God bless you, and your journey in life, Mahalo...

[@yeseniasanchez746]

Hi Eryn, I have been following you since you were going to college. I want to let you know that you have a friend. thank you for posting your videos. right now I can't surf as I had surgery and seeing you in the water helps me envision myself in the water. You are not alone !!

I've been watching and loving you for years--and have been waiting for a real ass video like this one! Thank you for being vulnerable and brave with us. It makes you feel more relatable (though ofc, you're not obliged). Anyway, beyond grateful for your grounded and empowering energy that emanates from your videos.

[@Cosmiceci]

I wish you the best things that life can give you. You have no idea how you inspire me to overcome all these obstacles, which you say you feel. I often find myself thinking about how I stopped experiencing things out of fear, fear of feeling shame, anxiety and so many other things. and your videos always remind me of how we came to live our best version. I also know that everyone has their difficulties, but we are strong enough to overcome them. Sending lots of love from Brasil

You are SO strong and your words are so powerful, someone is going to find so much comfort through this video. I hope you remember to give yourself love and grace during this healing period. Healing is hard, but is so beautiful (especially when you make it back to the sunshine, and you WILL). Sending you so much love and so many hugs - you've got this!

[@aleanna7477]

Nothing is more rewarding than deep inner work, challenging as it may be. May we all find unconditional love and acceptance for ourselves, as this is the path to true freedom ❤

[@enrique7180]

Eryn, you are handling this situation the best way possible. Stay on this healing path and life will balance out again. I’m sorry you are going through this. My wife ended a unhealthy 8 year relationship…we met and have been together for 14 years and have a beautiful child. Current loss may be a blessing. Thank you for sharing so others can find some benefits. Your vlogs are one of my go to when I’m missing the ocean due to a busy schedule. Thank you.

Thank you Erin for being honest about the hard times that you’re processing. I am also going through a breakup, and seeing this video helped me a lot, especially the journal prompts. Thank you, love watching you for years now. I’m sure you will come out of this journey of processing your emotions as your best self!

[@anastasiaanisimova6796]

"Pain is necessary and suffering is optional" Pain has been the greatest gift I've every been given because of what kind of man it's molded me into over the years.

Ah I’ve only followed you for so long but all the best in this next chapter of your life. Loved the music-less honest video.
