Entropy
What do you do when your life begins to fall apart, and the person you need to save is yourself?
A Note From The Author:
Writing Entropy was my way of unraveling a life I barely recognized, one thread at a time. These pages hold my private thoughts, my darkest moment and my quietest victories. Most of all, they hold the truth of what it means to fall apart and begin again. If you've ever felt lost in your own story, unsure of how to move forward or where to find the strength for deep, personal change, this book is for you. It's not about having all the answers - it's about finding meaning in the questions and hope in the mess. My journey is all right here for you. I hope it helps you to feel less alone in yours.
Excerpt:
I don’t live out loud, I live quietly, almost imperceptibly, woven in between your recovery story. The addict always takes center stage. The rest of us – the children, the lovers, the wives and family members – we all become secondary characters, even in our own lives. I’m not even sure the last time I consciously participated in my own life or considered my own needs. I had to stop looking in the mirror because the face reflected wasn’t mine. I stopped dancing, stopped laughing, stopped playing, always frozen in the time between the last time you were high and the next one, which always felt inevitable no matter the distance between the two.

About the author
Shawnda Chambers
4 books5 followersShawnda Chambers is a writer drawn to the depths of human connection, transformation, and the unseen forces that shape our lives. Their work explores themes of love, loss, addiction, healing and self-discovery, blending raw vulnerability with ethereal, spiritual undertones.
As the author of Entropy, catch my self, and Think Nothing of Me, they illuminate the complexities of relationships. Entropy is a deeply personal reflection on addiction, co-dependency, and the struggle to let go. Catch my self explores the intense, often devastating journey of twin flames and the ultimate return to self. Think Nothing of Me, the authors first novel, is a story of inner-child healing and realization, inviting readers to question identity, fate and the patterns we repeat.
Lighthouses are a recurring symbol in their life and work - a reminder that even in the darkest waters, there is always a light to guide us home. When not writing, they can be found handing out peanuts to the local murder of crows or found near the water, forever drawn to the places where the sky meets the sea, where endings become beginnings, and where the search for self is endless.

Reading Entropy was an experience that stuck with me long after I turned the last page. Shawnda Chambers’ writing is so lyrical and raw that I felt every moment right along with her. She brought me deep into the heart of a relationship tangled in love, sacrifice, and addiction, showing the weight of devotion and the painful cost of losing yourself for someone else. Her honesty is breathtaking, and the way she weaves her personal story with universal themes of resilience and identity made me reflect on just how hard it is to walk away—even when you know you should. This book didn’t just move me—it left something unsettled in me, the kind of feeling that lingers and demands to be reckoned with.
