  1. the only place where i will learn to be truly myself, is where my epiphany will occur. The honesty of my heart, suddenly aware of its destiny. Love, love, my love. Finally I have found you. It’s been too long, taken my whole life. But I have found you.

  3. having an epiphany
    isnt easy
    and often,
    you dont know that you’ve had one
    till some time after the event
    perhaps that’s what epiphanies
    are all about
    ?

  4. i have epiphany when i try new food. my palate it hit with new flavors and i go wild. I have similar epiphany when having sex, when his skin touches mines. magic simply magic.

  5. Her epiphany was grand. It overwhelmed her. She didn’t believe such a great awakening was possible. Especially at such a bland, uneventful, point in her life. But she was thankful, and began to live life in a much different manner. She thought more about her actions, from eating to walking. She talked to people and listened, ruminating on the conversation after it had past. She felt awake.

  6. I had an epiphany that I will see you today. But it didn’t came true because you are so far. But then I thought it came true since you are always in my heart and I will never let you go. You are my baby girl for ever and I will always love you!!,

  7. Something serious is going on. It’s probably time to seek help from the government or officials, perhaps a monarch of some kind. One should be on their guard at all times and keep their friends close, and their enemies far away. Beware.

  8. The choir resounded through my head. “Huh.”

    She looked over at me, crossing her legs and popping a lollipop in her mouth. “What?”

    For a moment, I stared at the grimy ceiling, without saying anything. “She’s my mother.”

    “Yes,” was her response. She stood up and examined her outfit in the mirror.

  9. It was suddenly that i thought about the problems I was having at work and everything around me. at first I didn’t understand why I would have such problems as it was key for happineness, but it seems there is more than that in this world. at least in this world. heh, what doesn’t work in theory, works in practice and vice versa. I wish things were easier to work with and I wish i was smarter. I wish I had more epiphanies.

  10. I had an epiphany. One that it is entirely okay to do what you want to do even if it is different from the people around you. If you want to be independent but there is social pressure making it seem like it is only acceptable to be in a relationship, do it. Be yourself

  11. A spark of reason. I need an epiphany to write this paper that is due tomorrow… An epiphany is like magic. It isn’t there one second and then the next poof it appears with amazing newness…..

  12. Like the light at the end of a dark tunnel, it hit her. Knocked the bloody wind out of her actually.

  13. The sky was blue, the grass was green. These things she knew, and in the same way she knew them, she also knew that he was desperately in love with her. It wasn’t anything bit, just one day, he happened to glance at her, and she happened to glance back at him, and she saw something in his eye, a glin

  14. i had an epiphany today. I realized how great I was. It hit me like a ton a bricks. I always thought i was good, but I never realized that I actually was great. It is amazing feeling when something like this come to mind. Its good to like yourself, but to love yourself is one amazing thing.

  15. The word epiphany springs to mind ideas of greatness, of finding the answer in a second and knowing forever what to do with that greatness. Do epiphanies exist? Am i the only one who has yet to discover the answer to anything? Hell, am I the only one who has yet to discover the questions?

  16. just a thought. ready to explode out of my mind. I’m awakened. I know now how to live free and alone. solitude is a beautiful thing. I no not what to make of this.
    But it is beautiful being able to recognize something that has been staring you in the face for as long as you can remember, but now you can grasp it like the hand next to yours.

  17. epiphany. what else is there to look forward to in life; that “aha” moment when everything you’ve been thinking about for a really really really long time just comes together. when suddenly, you feel like god; and why shouldn’t you? you just figured out the greatest mystery known to man: the one going on within your own mind.

  18. As he lay there, he told me of his plans. He was almost through when he got shot. He thought he would die but I knew better than that, death bed epiphanies were never really his style. I knew what I had to do, and now I had all the information I needed to complete the job.

  19. I realized that I loved my boyfriend today.

    It is unfortunate that we are only in college and we have so much ahead.

  20. The toilet seems to be a common place to have an epiphany!!! im sure people have them rather often, as the toilet is a good place to think… and poop!! i once got a text from my friend declan while he was on the toilet, saying it was the best poop he’d even had, (in less G rated words)!!

  21. i had an epiphany! it never occurred to me before, but there it was, like a sudden gust of wind from the east that nearly toppled me over. the only question left was what to do with it? do i let it sit and simmer for awhile or do i embrace it and push it onward with me!

  22. I have had wonderful moments where an epiphany occurred. It seriously does feel like a light bulb just flips on, and suddenly everything is perfect, makes sense, and you can see all around.
    However, I have also had moments that were terrible epiphanies…. the worst moments of my life were such.

  23. epiphany is something you do on a instinct you don’t think about it you just do it, don’t even bother wondering just go on don’t think just go for it. I don’t know what else to say blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah balh aldfkjslkjdfoiweflksdnflkdsnklgvnlakjdslkjflsdkaj’alwekifnewng’adoi0923u40923804938kldjsf

  24. Those words that we would do anything not to hear; images we would give anything not to have seen; truths we cannot admit that we’ve known, lest everything change.

  25. I’ve had an epiphany.The epiphany, really. The one big revelation that defines my sorry existence.

    I don’t fucking matter.

  26. I had an epiphany once. Upon strolling the aisles of Wal-Mart, I came across a child. I realized I was a child once. She had a Barbie doll. I had a Barbie once. She had a bow in her hair. I had a bow once.

    I was a boy once. My parents hated me. I’m still a boy. Now I’m a hipster.

  27. I had one of those once. They’re like new ideas. I want another soon… Epiphany. I like it. Sounds like elephant….. The end… But the clock is still running…. Time is non existent.

  29. it’s what we feel when we’re done with things and then they spring back up again- we come to a realization that we have possibly been wrong, but it’ll work out, a solution has surfaced among the fog we’d grown so used to.

  30. All of a sudden it hit me like a ton of bricks. The epiphany I had long awaited and searched for. It blew my mind that it took so long to appreciate such a simple thought; I was a good person, and I liked who I was. And that was it. That was my epiphany. My big “oh my god!” moment. And I was okay with that.

  31. As i opened my eyes for the first time today, well obviously right… i saw… well the ceiling. Nothing happens. As always. Look at it hard enough and you might actually see the light morph it back and forth into an unrecognizable monster but as soon as you blink it goes back to that stupid white canvas that takes up no useful space. What the fuck is a ceiling good for, why not just have the sky above you. Im sure some passionate dirty hippie would agree with me.

  32. Seeing my extended family again was an epiphany, I was overwhelmed because I haven’t seen them in years. Yes, I do talk to them through Skype every weekend, but that’s all virtual, not physical love. Hugging each and every one of them made me feel like home again, this is where I belong, yeah, this is home.

  33. It takes a while for somethings to sink into your skull. Maybe the bone is thick and your thoughts slide from side to side never really escaping. Or maybe it is just because it is not the right time for you to realize that I am not the one for you.

  34. A darkness shone through my head,
    as the world turned black and warm,
    and everything was exactly as it did not seem.

    I awoke from my daydreaming and set my plan into slowmotion,
    the night was drawing to a beginning,
    their days were at a middleground,
    and my brainstorming had met its weathered end.

  35. Ha! There! An idea like a spark, but a spark sets off a fire, and a fire is doused by tears.

    “Tears? Please. Puh-leeze. You are nothing but a loud, obnoxious fountain of nothing. Ideas, chance me not. You are not ideas.”

    But the epiphany was real. I didn’t have to listen to you anymore. Your lies, your doubts, your fears. You live in the mirror, Other Me. Other, Louder, Meaner One. I will have nothing to do with you anymore.

    “Ha! Look at you talk. You need me! I am you. We are one.”

    We’re not. You are just the other me.

    And that, was the epiphany.

  36. “Whoa!”
    He shot off the toilet and struggled to buckle his jeans. He had it. The idea that would save everyone. If he can keep it from Janet long enough, maybe he’d have a shot.

  37. My heavy eyes were stuggling to stay open, and yet my mind continued to buzz with all the ideas, one pushing forward, then another and another. then in a moment between sleep and dreaming, I had an epiphany – yes! I would wear the red wrap dress wih the black velvet belt in the morning!

  38. is a sudden thought that comes to mind just like a light bulb that pops into the bubble over your head. its something that comes to you quickly, giving you a thought that clears up the rest of your thoughts leaving you with the right answer to your p

  39. I haven’t ever really had any sort of epiphany yet. I assume they come in times of your life of great stress, sadness, or anger. Any extreme could possibly cause you to have one. I haven’t really had all that much strife in my life so far, and maybe that’s why I haven’t had a epiphany yet, and maybe I never will?

  40. understanding flashed across her eyes, her breathing hitched. “that’s why? that’s why you’re acting this way?” he hesitated before answering. how do you tell the person you love that you can’t love yourself enough to want to stay on this planet?

    “yes. no. maybe. i don’t know! i don’t know why i feel this way; like i’m locked in a dark room with no windows and no air, just banging to get out. i don’t know why i hate myself. i don’t know why i’m not enough. i just don’t know.”

    her throat was full of the tears she was trying to hold back. her vision blurred, but she continued to stare at him straight in the eye. “i know. and i’m sorry. but if you don’t want to stay for yourself, stay for me. because i can’t be here without you.” and then she came at him with such force, and wrapped her arms around him like they were vines, restricting him. forcing him to stay where he was. and he was okay with that.

    he bowed his hand, and silently thanked her, because in her arms, everything was better.
