  2. I had an epiphany today. I thought about it as you ran away. I’d hate to tell you to stay. So just run, run away.

  3. epiphany’s can change the way people live their lives. One small event can trigger them and usually it changes how people see the world.

  4. A feeling of elation. The Eureka moment. When you can feel the puzzle fitting together in your brain. That is an epiphany. It is the feeling when you finally understand something, whether it’s a simple basic concept or something you’ve puzzling out for weeks.

  5. I realised what I had wanted most in my life. I felt accepted and valued for the first time ever and I also felt…relaxed. What a strange feeling. In 27 years, I never consciously felt that way.

  6. We spend our lives moving from one moment to the next, just trying to get by. But what if there’s something more, something we’re missing? Something we’ve been searching for all along but were too short-sighted to see?

  7. epiphany! i love this word–not only in terms of its meaning but also of its sound. this is the moment we realize why we were born in the first place. it’s been always hidden, and epiphany is the moment of the revelation of it.

  8. I had an epiphany the other day.

    Life’s too short, to live without poetry.

    I lied, that wasn’t my epiphany. It was Frank Turner’s. He sang a song about it.

  9. It was a blindside. Out of nowhere, suddenly the world was a new, an entirely different place. Now I can start. Now I can be, and laugh as I go…

  10. meaning: a realization
    an idea
    a sudden recognizing –
    hello lightbulb.
    welcome home, light.
    brilliance returns

  11. Enter,
    Please,
    Into this
    Place that once
    Had
    A good, clean
    Name, but
    You blackened it.

  12. She looked at him. The pain in her eyes said it all. It tingled down his spine and into his heart. He finally knew how much he meant to her and she to him. He understood why he couldn’t breathe without her. He loved her. It wasn’t until he was on the plane that he realized it was too late.

  13. when i was young i felt like i needed something to happen. like a snap inside my head. an epiphany. all my life i feel like I’ve been searching for this moment to satisfy some undesired need to fulfill something……

  14. It was all at once that I realized Harvey didn’t need me as I needed him; simply to breathe, he must be there by my side so I can pull the air from my lungs and through my lips. And now he was very far away from me, a feeling I could not yet digest

  15. Once when I was in a dream, I saw a golden light and rain came down on my face. Golden, glistening. That’s what I feel like when I think of the word epiphany. It’s something kind of crazy and beautiful but magically a golden moment in your life.

  17. He slowly raised himself onto his elbows and surveyed the carnage. There was flour everywhere and still the air was thick. It coated every surface. Some had even settled on the open wounds that covered him and the other bakery patrons. Like frosting. From the back of room camecoughing. Nearer therewasamoan. And a small “…fuck…”. He had gone too far. It was time to diet.

  18. pinch me,
    i’m dreaming

  19. maybe a walk in the woods would pull an epiphany out of her head, and like a tree branch sprouting from her skull

  20. A life changing even that somehow MIGHT turn a person to a great path or something worse if misunderstood. Personally, I haven’t had this yet, and maybe never will. I’m good without it though.

  21. i don’t even know what this word means…

  22. The epiphany came
    in a growing
    effervescent glow
    creeping up
    the tips of her fingers and hands and limbs
    until it swallowed her whole
    Shivers danced across her skin, stars
    flashed behind her eyelids
    As she reached out her arms
    beseeching him to return

  23. I’ve had a few epiphanies in my life – the most important being that I want to write. I’m just waiting for an epiphany to let me know what it is that I want to write, exactly.

  24. a discovery of facts, circumstances, solution, the key to why or how to act in the future; core change

  25. This always makes me think of the movie Dogma. When Ben Affleck has his epiphany. I never used to know what that word meant til I saw that movie. Now that I do know what it means, I think it’s probably one of, if not the most, beautiful word in the English language.

  26. i have nooo idea what this word means.

  27. I had an epiphany the other day. Suddenly I knew nothing could change the way I viewed my world. I alone could adapt and adjust to see the reality around me, but my ability to perceive remained unflappable.

  28. Last night I had an epiphany. So did Lauren, Jake, Nicholas, James and Dick. We all forgot.

  29. I’m not living, I’m just killing time.

  30. the student banged his head against the cover of his laptop, muttering “stupid. stupid. stupid. stupid,” for what seemed like hours on end. “dude, you’re losing brain cells,” his girlfriend deadpanned from the couch. “i have none to lose.” she rolled her eyes and sauntered over, staring at the program on his screen. leaning forward, she pointed at a section of the code. “you missed a function.”

    he stared blankly at the screen for a moment. “OH GOD, EPIPHANY! THANK YOU! I LOVE YOU!” she rolled her eyes and just grinned.

  31. My earliest memory of epiphanies are when my step dad and i talked about epiphanies and then he said that if he has one on the toilet he will call it an epiphish*t.

  32. Her eyes were sad, she sat in the room just thinking. Dark thoughts crossed her mind when finally she had an epiphany. Her life wasn’t based off of others, it was all hers. Just because people didn’t like who she was didn’t mean she was a bad person. This was her life, she had to live it. The next day she awakened with a big smile on her face, and when she saw him she reached out a held his hand, and made her way through life…happily.

  33. His eyes opened wider. “I know what to do.”
    He leapt down from the hammock, his knees buckling as he hit the ground, and ran towards the car.
    “But where are you going?”
    “I’ll be back soon!” He called out behind him as he swung the door closed, the engine starting rapidly.

  34. “Kurt, there is a moment when you say to yourself, ‘Oh, there you are. I’ve been looking for you forever.’ Watching you do ‘Blackbird’ this week, that was a moment for me – about you. You move me, Kurt, and this duet would just be an excuse to spend more time with you.” – Blaine Anderson, episode 2×16, “Original Songs”

  35. i wish i had these more often, its such an amazing feeling. a moment of blissful understanding. maybe ill have one soon? last one i ever had was in math. what a wonderful day it was .

  36. Little Dillan looked out the window down at his friend Mary. It was in the middle of the night and his parents were awake. If he tried to sneak out through the door, he’d be caught. Then, he had an epiphany! He tied curtains, blankets, anything together to make a long rope to ground level. “They won’t ever know!” He smiled mischievously.

  37. When you’re just sitting around and all of a sudden you realize something. That moment that makes you go “wow”. Sometimes is good, sometimes not so much.

  38. I like to experience epiphany with the awakening of every moment, as if every moment is new, with a new thought arising and something new to gain, to hope for. The word epiphany is so star-like, so ethereal, so lovely that it brings new life to the moment. I hope to have an epiphany time after time, to become something new.

  39. a sudden realization of something you never thought of before. sometimes its of something wonderful and sometimes is not. you’ll just be sitting somewhere and go “wow” and thats when you had an epiphany

  40. Today I had an epiphany.
    I realized that I have no guy friends.
    Or at least that I am unable to have a conversation with a guy without flirting.
    MY sad sad life.
    I want friends that are guys but I am unable.
