At the university�s Writers� Workshop, however, she felt lonely----a Mexican American from a poor neighborhood among students from wealthy families. The feeling of being so different helped Cisneros find her �Creative voice.�
�It was not until this moment when I considered myself truly different that my writing acquired a voice. I knew I was a Mexican woman, but I didn�t think it had anything to do with why I felt so much imbalance in my life, but it had everything to do with it! That�s when I decided I would write about something my classmates couldn�t write about.�


What does "I didn�t think it had anything to do with why I felt so much imbalance in my life, but it had everything to do with it" mean? Could you paraphrase this sentence?

Many thanks.

Before, I thought that this (being a Mexican woman) didn't make me feel so much imbalance in my life. But I was wrong. This (being a Mexican woman) was exactly the reason I felt so much imbalance in my life!
