  1. He stared at the pages before him, wondering when he had decided that writing this had become too hard. Looking over each printed page with dread in his heart and tears misting his eyes he sighed. He had been working on this story for so long, so much work had gone into it that he could not bear to not finish it. That is when he suddenly had an epiphany. He would finish the novel by writing about how he could not finish it.

  2. I just had an epiphany! You have never really meant anything that you have ever said to me. That is the reason that you say you aren’t lying – because you never meant it in the first place! Well, now I can certainly get on with my life with some kind of peace of mind, eh!

  3. I strive for at least one of these a day but some stray away with the intent to stay and pray that something comes their way

  4. It wasn’t really an epiphany. More like a slow collection of moments that he chose to ignore. Just like his dad ignored him, now he was ignoring how much he could care for someone that wasn’t a girl. It’s weird but he wakes up one morning feeling like he’s always loved Danny.

  5. I had an epiphany today — I am close to who I want to be. There’s still much to improve, but I can see the progress quite clearly.

    I am excited for the future.

  6. Epiphany: I’m not a good writer.
    Or. I’m not a motivated writer.
    NaNoWriMo will not go well this year, just as it didn’t go well last year.

    Epiphany: I only have one developed story in my head.
    Third year in a row trying to write it? Yeah, probably.

  7. It was like she had just gulped lungfuls of air after nearly drowning. Nothing held her back now. She could almost touch the sky as she smiled.

  8. i had an epiphany lying awake at night while we never spoke, i couldnt fall aslepp but think. i thought and thought and came to a realization, while we were away and distant. i thought, i had an epiphany about you.

  9. We are not here forever, so make the best of right now. This is my epiphany.

  10. I had an epiphany, the biggest one so far in my life. Sometimes they don’t come through the nicest means. But even in that case, it might just be worth it. I love you so much :)

  11. I need an epiphany to understand why I have a missing piece. It’s not missing like an “I miss you”, but rather a puzzle piece. And yes that metaphor has been done a thousand times, but it means so much more when it feels like it’s about to ruin your life.

  12. i stop mid sentence and stare off right above his head. A smile creeps up on me and suddenly his eyes are so blue and the moment is so sweet and soft and I can’t help but feel a tingle in my stomach and a flush rising on my face and my hands clamming up. or maybe i’m just crazy? or maybe we’re just perfect?

  14. Anything can happen
    life is a circle

    in the end its about being happy

    laughing
    crying

    & well following your intuition
    if it works t works
    if it doesn’t
    it doesn’t
    thats life
    a circle
    life is a circle

  15. When I saw the baby emerge from my daughter’s womb, in the silence of the room, I had an epiphany. This is life. This is what it is all about.

  16. I have a friend who uses this word way too much. In the course of a normal day she will have between two and six “epiphanys” (is that the right plural?). These epiphanys can be as dull as “I remembered that I had a cat named Skippy when I was three years old!” or as exciting as “I just realized that Payless actually means that you pay less!”

  17. I had an epiphany that perhaps I am a robot. I feel no pain at funerals, I feel no love in relationships, but I definitely feel anger. Maybe I’m an angry robot.
    I had an epiphany that perhaps I am a rock. I hold people down, I’m ignored and taken for granted, and I happen to get tossed into lakes often. Maybe I should be a boulder.
    I had an epiphany that perhaps I am alone….

    …Maybe I should get a life.

  18. i think to myself and wonder how many times i seeked an epiphany to resolve all my problems. an aha moment! to clarify everything i have always been confused about. do they usually come as dreams or as memories or as just thoughts that wonder in your head that are secretly controlled by your sub conscious. i wish the day would come when i could finally scream out and say i had an epiphany and it changed my life forever.

  19. i sat on the toilet and came up with millions of ideas. i saw an episode on scrubs where the toilet helped the characters reach their epiphany.

  20. an understanding of a statement in a different way that you understood it previosley. A change of heart of an idea or stetement. Realizing you were wrong.

  21. You wonder and you wonder and you wonder and then the sky opens up and you’re wondering larger and more beautiful and truer than you’ve ever wondered before. It’s like falling in love. It’s flying. It’s living.

  22. amo a una persona que no puedo querer
    amo a alguien con quien no puedo estar
    necesito una respuesta
    quien me enseñara la puerta
    y cuando podre encontrar
    el camino hacia la felicidad
    quiero poder estar
    con esa persona de verdad

  23. an epiphany is just a realization right? like what religious people get when they get in touch with god? I don’t recall ever having an epiphany major enough to remember.

  24. i thought about an epiphany once that life didnt really matter, that the journey was long and hard and had no other way but inner light. i believe in faith and what the world wants. i can see clearly what it needs and what it doesnt get, im drowing in a world not made for the young.

  25. She looked to the sky.
    “Problem?”
    His voice was a welcome distraction from her thoughts but she couldn’t tear herself from the clouds.
    “No.”
    “Okay.”
    Without a word, he lied down next to her to watch the clouds. When she chanced a glance to the side, she felt the knowledge in her breast and the warmth that came with it was enough to battle the winter chill

  26. I had an epiphany today. I realized that I loved somebody. Before I wrote this I refused to believe it and after I finish writing this I will refuse to believe it but right now, for 30 more seconds, it’s true, I love somebody, and this will be my little beautiful epiphany and I will drown in joy for 10 more seconds, but thank you for this little glimmer of hope.

  27. i realized something today. I had this thought wave over me and take me to another place. I went not by foot, but by a whole different shuttle. I did not fly. I did not walk. I did not use any muscle in my body. I went. I ended up in this darkness. This darkness had an atmosphere that told me that the cold was okay to feel.

  28. Sweeney todd. The song is called epiphany. I love that song, i think it express the way i feel about people better than anything else can. except the people that i love. or who i want to love. i wish i had more epiphany’s they seem like they would be really awesome to have weekly. maybe even bi weekly. like ice cream. you cant have it all the time. but once a month or twice a month is ok. and that is fantastic!

  29. I rarely have epiphany in my mind. Sometimes I have an idea but not really good epiphany. I feel I don’t feel confident to express my idea in front of my smart classmates.

  30. its something that happens when you suddenly realize its all about the bigger picture theres more to life than it all seems and we have so much more to lived for than most people give themselves credit for

  31. One night, as I lie awake in bed, sleepless yet again, I had an epiphany. I don’t know why, but I decided to start a barbor shop. I knew I would make a ton of money doing it, so I did it.

  32. In that one moment, the moment when his lips pressed against mine, I realized something; this was not love. No, this was not love. This was a new feeling and I think I’ll call it ‘lust’. i didn’t love him, I wanted him in my bedroom. How shameful?

  33. the feeling of certany among weirdness, that though of knowing whats coming next even though its never real, never the less its a hope

  34. its was a startling revelation to learn that no one grows up they just pretender. and all this time thought i had missed out as some special rite of passage. but no we’re all in the same boat.

  35. i keep calling every motivational, life-changing idea that i have an epiphany.

    i’m pretty sure it lessens the power of this word each time i think i’m having one.

  36. “Ahhhhh….” I understood now. The meaning of the words in front of me made sense. It was as if the word clicked into place, the stars aligned. I could do this. I slammed the leather-bound text in front of me shut with an unusual amount of force, and all but skipped into the next room, knowing exactly what I was talking about when I said, “I just had an epiphany”.

  37. stuff… It’s a big ball of wibbly wobbly timey wimey ball of stuff! Gooberly ooberly Hello darling! How are you today? I have no idea what I am meant to do…

  38. I was blinded with a red scarf
    One of greed and fear
    It dissolved into dust
    And my eyes burned in the light
    And suddenly I saw
    The obvious secret
    Of millions of years
    And thousands of joyous tears

  39. An epiphany is basically a lightning bulb moment. Basically it’s one of those times where you say “Eureka…” like the apple on Sir Isaac Newton’s head. An epiphany is a sudden “duh” moment. I have them ever so often. Allie is Amazing :).

  40. I couldn’t explain it. It just came to me. Something I’d put so much thought into, lost so many hours of sleep for, pushed so many people away because of, and there was the answer. Laid out before me like my last meal.
