Notes & Quotes:
When I was newly divorced, I threw myself into the dating pool because I desired to be loved. It was all about me.—Eryn Eddy
I objectified others, and I objectified myself. —Eryn Eddy

I was scared to face why I was pursuing relationships. I needed to become really honest with my intentions with why I wanted to go on dates. —Eryn Eddy
What an honor it is to sit on the other side of the table and get to know another person that finds something interesting in me. Just getting to know somebody with no expectations.—Eryn Eddy
When we act out of urgency and desperation, we get desperate results. —Eryn Eddy
If I’m only dreaming of being in a relationship, I’m not dreaming big enough for what God has for me.—Eryn Eddy
