She struggles to find a sense of normalcy from "summary" of The Way I Used to Be by Amber Smith
In the aftermath of the traumatic event, Eden finds herself lost in a sea of confusion and chaos. Her world has been turned upside down, and she no longer knows how to navigate the turbulent waters of her emotions. What was once familiar and routine now feels foreign and unpredictable. Every day is a struggle to make sense of the new reality that has been thrust upon her. As she tries to piece together the shattered fragments of her life, Eden grapples with a profound sense of disorientation. The ground beneath her feet feels unsteady, and she is constantly plagued by a sense of unease. The things that used to bring her comfort and stability now only serve as painful reminders of all that has been lost. In her quest for normalcy, Eden finds herself engaging in a delicate balancing act. She tries to maintain a facade of strength and composure, even as she crumbles beneath the weight of her own internal turmoil. She goes through the motions of her daily routine, but each task feels like an insurmountable obstacle, a constant reminder of the gaping hole in her heart. Despite her best efforts, Eden cannot seem to shake the feeling that she is living in a parallel universe, one where the rules of reality no longer apply. She longs for the simplicity of the way things used to be, for the comfort of the familiar and the routine. But no matter how hard she tries, she cannot seem to find her way back to the sense of normalcy that once defined her existence. And so, Eden is left to navigate the treacherous waters of her grief and trauma, searching for a way to anchor herself in a world that seems intent on tearing her apart. She struggles to find her footing, to make sense of the chaos that surrounds her. And in the midst of it all, she clings to the hope that one day, she will find a way to reclaim the sense of normalcy that has been so cruelly ripped away from her.
