When Did I Become So Afraid? by Vanessa Westerberg is a poetry collection for anyone navigating the unknown or the in-between seasons of life where the old has crumbled and the new hasn't taken shape yet. For the person who left something safe and isn't sure it was worth it. The one who feels terrified of their own potential.
Written during a period of deep uncertainty, leaving a career, facing an unexpected injury, moving home, and choosing to begin again, this book gives language to the fears many of us carry but rarely say out loud. The fear of being on the wrong path, never being brave enough to change, or choosing yourself and still not finding peace.
When Did I Become So Afraid? doesn't offer easy answers. It validates you in the disorientation, the grief of endings, and the restless hope of new beginnings. It reminds you that the unknown is not a place to escape, but a place where everything can be rebuilt and begin again.
