suggest itself
Arise without prompting
To suggest itself is for an idea or possibility to come to mind without being explicitly proposed: A solution suggested itself as I was falling asleep.
The reflexive form implies the thought arose naturally rather than through deliberate reasoning—as if the idea did the work of appearing, unbidden.
