This quote helps/relates to people in real life understand that when someone is in a hard place and Doesn’t know what to do anymore, they start to think of different possibilities of what could happen.

When they think hard about it hard enough or if it pops in their mind, they find there worth and begin to understand their self more.
Hope this helps :)
