“I don’t even know if this makes sense. But it felt important.”

Sometimes a thought shows up out of nowhere and hits with a weight I can’t explain. It doesn’t arrive fully formed, and it definitely doesn’t arrive with instructions. It’s just there, sitting in my mind, nudging me like it wants attention.

I try to make sense of it. I try to connect it to something in my life. Half the time I can’t. But even without a clear reason, it feels important in a way I can’t ignore. There’s a little pull inside me that says, “Pay attention. This matters, even if you don’t know why yet.”

So I write it down. Or I say it out loud. Or I sit with it for a minute, hoping the meaning will eventually show up. Sometimes it does. Sometimes it doesn’t. But I’ve learned that not everything meaningful has to be logical on the first try.

Some things hit us because they touch something deeper, something we haven’t sorted out yet. Maybe it’s a reminder. Maybe it’s a warning. Maybe it’s the start of a shift I haven’t noticed happening. It doesn’t have to be polished to be real.

So even if it’s messy, even if it’s vague, even if it feels out of place, I’ve stopped brushing those moments off. If something inside me reacts, that’s enough. Maybe the sense will come later. Maybe it won’t. But the feeling matters.
