  1. I had this thought, just now, that maybe, maybe –
    It’s something you and I should try, sometime. Maybe.
    Maybe, maybe, y’know?
    And you’d like it, I think.
    This getting down, business. This, hanging out without a plan, without needing to know where we’re going, just letting life take us by the seat of our pants and fly –
    That sort of thing.
    Just maybe, maybe.
    Because I think maybe we’ve been cooped up with schedules and conflicts so long that we’ve forgotten what a bit of sunlight and unplanned madness feels like; just maybe.

  2. One day I woke up and realized that life wasn’t shit. Life is a wonderful thing, filled with love and great things far beyond my comprehension. Life is mystery that I must understand and attempt to use to its fullest extent. I live again. I love again.

  3. Being a pisces, i tend to have epiphanies all the time. The problem is following through. I can have a realization and know i need to change something but never put it into action. Realization is just the beginning of something new.

  4. it swirled into consciousness in bursts of grey light
    streamed down her cheeks in droplets and tears
    filled the hollow hole in the back of her heart with something
    not quite there
    but slightly resembling that light at the end of a tunnel

  5. Three pairs of shoes seemed an awful lot to Fred but then being a tramp he didn’t really need much. A dog, a piece of string, five overcoats and a few old newspapers to keep out the worst of the cold. However, discovering that the bins at the back of Starbucks were filled with posh leftovers was an epiphany. And the shoes? Well, two pairs were for the dog. One has to have some standards.

  6. a realization, something i am unable to come to right now, trying to convince myself that everything is good, grand, well. the day started off so nicely….how did it get this way? ug

  7. I don’t know what it means, tha’s because I’m portuguese. Right now I’m thinking tant this is the second time I make this activity and the word is still the same… hmm.

  8. I forget this word. Isn’t this like, really really derogatory?

    You’re such an epiphany.
    Ouch man, that’s harsh.
    Really? I’d imagine you wouldn’t know that word.
    Dude, you know I know everything.
    Really? What’s the meaning of life?

  9. epiphany. i think that’s what i have on a daily basis. if that’s possible. an epiphany that i fucked up. an epiphany that, “holy shit…i’m living a life that isn’t mine.” an epiphany that, well, i lost you, and i shouldn’t have ever let you go. and life will never be the same. it was you.

  10. An epiphany is when you have a sudden brain wave, a sudden stroke of genius or an incredible idea. An Epiphany can make you stop in your tracks, or make you gaze dreamily into the clouds.

  11. I see now. Clearly. So clearly. Why couldn’t I see before? I know you. I know you so much better than her, and now I can’t use my knowledge. You’re not with me anymore, but you should be. Take me out of my misery, please.

  12. I feel like a wanderer rooted at a crossroads. I lack momentum to propel me in either direction. The strongest pull is that which holds me in place. I stretch, I yearn, I bargain, I wonder. I wait for an epiphany.

  13. i was sitting in my room one day and all of a sudden it hit me! I didnt know where this thought came from or why i had it. And then i realized that this “epiphany” had caught me off guard. What was i suppose to do now? I couldnt just sit there. I had to take action.

  14. Epiphany is a word that I don’t understand. Does it mean something similar to empathy? Or does it have a completely unrelated definition?

  15. she looked at the sky and she looked at her hands and the ink like flattened octopuses on the page. she was somewhere that lived only in clouds and the spaces between your fingertips, where no one notices how big or small you are until you try to get out.

  16. The sky flew above me. Now I know it literally doesn’t happen, but it seemed to be that way. Then I realized, that not the sky was moving, but I was. Huh, everyone has a point of view in someway, but what is the sky’s looking down on us?

    Gabs
  17. an idea that comes to you that you think nobody else has ever had such a unique idea; an idea that might potentially change the world one day, an idea that showcases your brilliance. or a sudden understanding of something, when a concept just clicks

  19. have you ever just wanted to live alone? not because you hate everyone. not because you can’t get along with anyone or even that you don’t want to be with the one you love. just because you simply had an epiphany that everything would be better if you could get away from the world whenever you please.

  20. What’s this? All of a sudden it came to me; a brilliant, masterful plan. It was quite useful indeed, my epiphany.

    Gabs
  21. I just had an epiphany and I now know that the earth is not round, but a cylindrical tube that contains all the energy of the earth plummeting into an abyss that no one will ever find nor reach. Epiphany is realizing something that you never knew.

  22. Sudden thought
    The light bulb went on

  23. I had a moment of euphoria… I think that’s what they call it anyway… I don’t know… All these big words all mean the same thing… you never know what word means what, or doesn’t mean what… you never really know anything, come to think of it. The world is so complex in so many ways, it’s hard to understand.

    Emily T.
  24. i walked into a room and saw my dog dead…it was a shock but made me realize my true dream…to be a taxidermist

    Darby
  25. It was always about love, she realized with a start. Was it like this for everyone, or was she just unhealthily obsessed? Kicking a stone aside, she continued on toward her car. Well, she thought, at least I know.

  26. She walked slowly along the gravel path, letting her hand slide in and out of her pocket like a raccoon slithering into a burrow. It was strange, she thought, the way she never could seem to find time for him. And then she knew.

  27. dont have a scooby what it means, ep sounds like epiphone? is that right, epiphany is like syympathy is it not. i have epiphany for someone. i epathasise for them.

  29. A moment of perfect revelation, a moment in which the entire world — for one fleeting moment — becomes beautifully illuminated.

  30. elephant….is the epiphany i just had. More like a thought randomly picked and placed and converted into a thought. A futuristic idea that won’t come true. I don’t see any right now, and won’t later. It will be a while…at least i feel like that. it’s ok.

  31. I had ne, standin at the ery highest point in town tha day, looking down, own down. Thining, just thinkng.

  32. He expressed his epiphany in an epithet

  33. At that moment, I understood completely. No, not completely. But certainly more than I had before, and more than I knew what to do with. It’s overwhelming, knowing so much, but at the same time comforting.

  34. Well I realized at the end of the day that everything and everyone had no real purpose in life, and that everything that ever has been seen was not real. This felt pretty terrible, if you ask me.

  35. I had an epiphany last night. Water was going to make cars run someday. There would be an alternative energy source. One not as corrupt as gasoline.

    Taryn
  36. It is that I would speak with her. She followed along a path of bliss and smiled even at the most mundane flickering of life, as if within all things rested a profound epiphany that could awaken the entire world to a whole new reality.

  37. You had, as one might–on perhaps a late evening on the rooftop of a city without lights or sounds on the block for a brief moment where the power goes out–declare to you with his hand clasped tight, affirming, on your shoulder what is called an epiphany.

    Dan
  38. she looked at him, and suddenly, all was clear.
    “You were never there for me, even when i needed you the most.”
    he tried to remain eye contact with her but looked down at his sweaty palms.

    Catherine
  39. She looks down at the box in front of her. She was confused, shocked. She didn’t understand what it meant. There was nothing inside of it, just a return address on the front from him. And then it hit her – he was sending her freedom.

  40. Epiphany. A sudden realization had just struck me on the head like the baseball bat of some murderous killer sneaking up on me from behind. It hurt a little. I saw stars and lights and lasers and then nothing. Blackness. And I realized something. Like anyone who had a good epiphany did. But then I forgot it. It was as if someone had knocked the information out of my head by smacking me from behind with a murderous baseball bat.
