Eden finds strength in her vulnerability from "summary" of The Way I Used to Be by Amber Smith

Eden's vulnerability is not a weakness, as some may think. It is her source of strength, a wellspring of resilience that she taps into time and time again. When she opens herself up, allowing herself to feel her pain and confront her past, she discovers a power within herself that she never knew existed. Through her vulnerability, Eden is able to connect with others on a deeper level. She shares her story, her struggles, her fears, and in doing so, she finds that she is not alone. There is a sense of solidarity that comes from being open and honest about her experiences, a feeling of being understood and supported by those around her. Despite the pain that comes with facing her trauma head-on, Eden finds a sense of liberation in embracing her vulnerability. By allowing herself to be vulnerable, she is able to release the burden of her past and move forward with a newfound sense of purpose and strength. She learns that it is okay to be vulnerable, to feel deeply, to be affected by the world around her. In a world that often values stoicism and emotional detachment, Eden's willingness to be vulnerable is a radical act of self-love. It is a declaration that she will not be defined by her past, that she will not be silenced by her pain. Instead, she chooses to confront her vulnerabilities head-on, to embrace them as a part of who she is, and in doing so, she emerges stronger and more resilient than ever before. Through her journey, Eden demonstrates that strength is not about putting on a brave face or pretending that everything is okay. True strength comes from being open and honest about our struggles, from allowing ourselves to be vulnerable in the face of adversity. It is a lesson that Eden learns time and time again, as she navigates the complexities of her trauma and emerges on the other side, stronger and more resilient than ever before.
