"Getting out of it" was the first piece written after a big writer's block in 2025. Before composing this work, it felt as thought every idea was trapped behind an impenetrable brick wall, leaving me unable to access them. Then, one day, I managed to write something down- a small breakthrough that allowed me to start chipping away at the wall. Slowly but surely, I reclaimed my creative flow, each note breaking through the barrier a little more. This was my first major encounter with writer's block, and it times it felt daunting, But in the end, I came to understand that facing and overcoming these obstacles is an essential part of being an artist.

 

This experience made me realize that writer's block isn't just about writing- it reflects the many obstacles we face in life. Whether it's self-doubt, fear of failure, or external challenges, we often encounter walls that seem impossible to break through. But just like with this piece, the way forward is not through force, but through persistence, patience, and trust in the process. Overcoming these moments isn't about demolishing the wall in an instant, but about finding the cracks, chipping away piece by piece, until the path forward becomes clear again.
