  1. Shocking moment I knew that I loved you and all the crows stopped flying in circles. I knew. I knew. All the balloons in the world were set free and my heart was tied to a post that I hugged and loved. you are my life. This epiphany made my world.

  2. There’s a cold shell sculpted against
    that frozen brick wall
    hidden in the vaults of the library.
    Nothing but empty paper skin
    and the desperate sound of breathing.
    How she wishes to silence that ragged noise.
    No strength here.
    And then…
    Epiphany.
    There’s a lonely x-acto knife
    hidden, like her.
    But in an open locker across campus.

  3. Epiphany

    Oh boy I have a whole blog post saved up on this! More of a rant really. The short version is, just because something is brand new to you, that doesn’t mean it’s new to the rest of the world. It’s fabulous when people learn new things. *More* people should learn new things! But “new to you” rarely means “New to the universe.”

  4. I sat in wonder, dreaming. I let my head run under the water in the shower. I drive naturally while my mind wanders. I walk the dog with my headphones on. I am open and it strikes at any time.

  5. Yesterday, exactly at 2pm I was driving to my home. In this moment there was a sudden but expected movement, he was awake. I didn’t knew what to say. It was an awkward situation. I, then, knew that everything wasn’t going to be the same anymore.

  6. Students who have a sudden sense of meaning pop into their heads about a specific topic, a lot of times refers to an epiphany. When this occurs, they are able to provide more prior knowledge to the information that they are learning, which helps with understanding and heightens their comprehension.

  7. What is an epiphany?
    A revelation.
    A grand story.
    The realization of your imagination.

  8. I had an epiphany th other day. It was the greatest thought I ever had. It was a world changer. The equilibrium of power would change. Nothing would be the same. Sadly I forgot it right then…

  9. i had an epiphany once in my life
    it wasn’t a big deal really
    i just thought, but if
    oh wait
    i don’t remember
    i guess i’m waiting for another

  10. I should have known. But ignorance is bliss. A veil has been lifted, and now I can see again. I squint. The truth is so bright.

  11. THe sudden realization that things would never, ever be the same almost brought me to my knees. Sure, I’d known that circumstances would be different, but this? This was almost too much to process. How was I going to manage my daily life now, with this gaping hole inside?

  12. As I walked under the old, dark, historic archway, and the “click-click-click” of my $49 cow-girl inspired boots echoed off each brick, an epiphany resounded in the cubicles of my mind.

  14. I don’t know. I never had an epiphany. Is this what it feels like? Pieces fitting together. Like a big puzzle is being solved. Like I am the puzzle and I am being solved. Is that it? I guess. It’s a beautiful feeling, but scary at the same time. Because there are no more doubts. No more second chances. This is it.

  15. This word deals with having an idea about something. For example, “What shall we do about the fact that we have no more bag for all these chips?!” “I’m not sure… I JUST GOT AN EPIPHANY! We should buy sandwich baggies!”

  16. A bump in the road, a turning point A h Ha! and it all comes together, realigns, makes sense. You know where to go and what to do. Just there, over the hill across the meadow over the bridge and under the canopy. That’s where you need to be. In the center of all the open paths.

  17. Last night I had an epiphany. I realized that in life you can’t take anything for granted. When you say you want something, you have to stand up and fight for it. An epiphany is simply a realization or a kick in the face to wake a person up and make them understand that time is short and will always be limited.

  18. I have the word before, but i still do not know what it means. The word epiphany sounds like it is dealing with death or the remembrance of someone who has died. I must make it my business to find out the true meaning of the word.

  20. epiphany is an epiphany which epiphanates all the epiphanies in the whole entire universe and doesn’t care what kind of shit goes down if things go wrong.

    Yeah .. epiphany.

  21. Oh my! I had an epiphany today: Life goes on. Yes, yes, I know, trite and overused, but still, I needed to get to that point on my own. It’s hard to see the other side when you’re deep down in something.

  22. One day, while at the park, I had a very sudden and most peculiar epiphany. This lead to my eventual discovery of the large yeast infected duck on my right armpit. Hence, my overall lack of enthusiasm when raised with the issue of thermo ipers. Overall it was an excellent day.

  23. Epiphany may be some sort of vision you see in the future but it might just be de ja vu in disguise.In other words we’re just actually realizing what we’re supposed to realize because in some way it’s predestined for us.

  24. happiness. pure bliss. a nice chocolate candy with family. presents on Christmas day. Singing without care. Painting. Hugging a friend who needs it. what utter joy! forgiving and being forgiven. epiphany.

  25. I had an epiphany the other day……

    I realised that what I thought was me

    Was just the thinking me

    and that the thoughtless me

    is the one I ought to hang out with more!

  26. What did you learn? It can come out of the blue in a single clear moment of clarity or it can lay down gently at your side like an old friend coming home.

  27. “Yes! I finally get it!” I had had an epiphany and finally understood the maths question.

    (– I think that’s what epiphany means… not sure though :/ )

  28. :O that was my word of the day! This is such a co-inky-dink! I told the counsellors of the school that this was the word of the day and that it was brought by the number seven! I don’t often have epiphanies. It’s shame but I would like to.

  29. I’ve had one of those. One of those heart stopping moments when the planet aligns and everything comes into place. When you realise what has been bugging you, when you figure out exactely what you need to know. Sometimes they’re not things you want to have, and other times they’re just what you needed.

  30. i just had this word. I thought it would generate a new word every time. I guess i was wrong. This upsets me now because I truly wanted to test myself on speed writing. well maybe next time

  31. i think this word means to have a sudden spark or enlightenment. To instantly realize something. I just realized i didn’t walk my dog before i left for work. I hope he didn’t crap in the house.

  32. I had an epiphany to not argue with my own thought, because those are thoughts upon thoughts, which only lead to more thoughts. Step back from the thoughts. Don’t give them any energy, that’s just adding fuel to the fire. Don’t suppress the thoughts. Just gently withdraw your attention from them and let them be on their merry way.

  33. Three wise men. We have a large meal. Twelfth day of Christmas.

  34. As he stood above the grave, he understood: his mistake had not been the vengeance but the forgiveness he had tried his hands at. It was that, that moment of weakness, which had landed him here, had caused an unwanted death. At least with revenge, he wanted the death and was prepared for it.
    He had to be better. Quickly, a plan had formulated in his brain.

  35. I don’t think I’ve ever had one of these. Although, I might have. I mean, it’s hard to mistake them for something else. Because you see, when you’re in a difficult situation, you don’t really think of a solution and be all like “OH MY GOD, I’VE HAD AN EPIPHANY.” you just say “OH MY GOD I KNOW.”. So really, it’s a very underused word. And that’s rather sad to be quite honest with you. Very sad. :

  36. She’d only had a few epiphanies that she could remember in her life, and some of those were throw-aways as it is, little ones like: “Oh, so that’s how the city’s plumbing system works!” But, having a hierarchy in just about every aspect of her life, there was one that stood out above the rest too. It was when she realized that her dad wasn’t just that, but also a person, same as her, flaws and all.

  37. She’d always heard about those “epiphanies” that people were having – sudden understanding or revelations. And she was envious of it, because she felt like she never, ever got there. It’s not like she was dumb (right?), she just felt like she was…hopeless. Nothing ever seemed to strike her as original, and it was starting to wear on her.

  38. when we come to a realization of things that come from a simple means that make us realize the whole realm of everything else.

  39. All of a sudden, everything came together in a flash of inspiration, knotted together in one perfect, united idea. It was all clear; this is what had to be done. It was the kind of idea that only happened in the half-wake, half-sleep state- hell, the kind of idea that only came along once in a lifetime, it was so completely perfect. And when she awoke, all remnants of the epiphany were gone, wiped clear from her mind as though they had never existed at all. How frustrating.

  40. they all said just get it over with, if you’re ever really going to get over him you have to take that first step; just be with someone else. Just get over the initial hump and you’ll feel better, it’ll be the start… so why do I now feel worse than ever?
