Was This Meant To Happen??. A moment too perfect to be a… | by Izzah | Sep, 2025

The other day, I hit a wall.

And I couldn’t find a way around it.

Ideas crumpled before they even formed, and anything that managed to make it out seemed stupid.

I thought finding something external might help me overcome this, since everything internal was getting me nowhere.

I was pacing around my room, looking around, desperate for some kind of inspiration. My eyes met my side table as I approached the shelf with some books. I randomly pulled one out and decided to sit with it for a bit, but I didn’t open it to the first page.

Instead, I began grazing my thumb across the edges of the pages, blindly flipping through the book, stopping whenever it felt right.

I paused somewhere in the middle and looked down to read where I landed.

“If you spend too long not letting yourself be creative, you can literally start feeling sick. You were born to create, let it flow, do not overthink it.”

– Yung Pueblo

I immediately shut the book and looked up, stunned, not knowing whether to be more amazed at how well that worked or what I just read.

Because it just so happened to be exactly what I needed to hear.

I felt like I was called out and exposed, but at the same time, I felt seen.

I was my biggest obstacle right now.

Overthinking everything, not allowing anything to flow naturally.

But those lines encouraged me to blindly trust myself in what I have to offer, just as I blindly found them.

Sometimes, the only way forward is to let go and let it out, however that may be.

Messy, unfiltered or even confusing.

The truth is, I don’t know if this moment was a crazy coincidence or a sign, but I’ll remind myself of it whenever I’m met with this wall again.
