Epiphany
The word epiphany means a sudden, brilliant insight or perception that you get from seemingly out of nowhere. On a deep, philosophical level (my favorite kind), it means to suddenly just "get" something that has a great impact on your life in some meaningful way. In all of the books we are reading, Huck Finn, A Lesson Before Dying, or Their Eyes Were Watching God, the main characters experience some type of epiphany that changes their outlooks on life.
With that explanation in mind, talk a little bit about an epiphany you may have experienced in your life. What was it about? What triggered it? How has it changed your life in a positive, meaningful way?

Now since im the first one to comment i will make sure i set the bar high!
It took me a minute, actually it took me asking Janet how the word was pronounced, it went over my head until she said it and i begin to realize "Hey I know this word!" For some strange reason, well not really strange, i have this friend who just changes most of my views on life itself. People alwayws try and down advice from your peers, but who knows you better then the people you express your self to everyday. I never really change myself for others, more so change for the better. This person makes me look at life on another angle based around not impressing everyone but the one person that matters "ME"! I mean it was not out of no where, but kind of,yeah you get me. She didnt come from no where i chose her, but i didnt expect advice like this from her.Im normally the person giving life lessons, with speeches, poems,girl talks, or even just a text message! I guess our friendship and how much she cares about me triggered this. I can honestly say though I LOVE HER MUCHO...LOL...but seriously
I LOVE YOU JANBEAN!!!!!!
An epiphany in my life happened to me this summer when i was on a boat trip. I was driving my boat on the delaware bay an it was getting stormy. I was use to rain a thunder but it was unbelevably windy. it was two late to turn around and we went in. It was ruff.We allmost flipped our boat and got me very stared. We didnt even have a life jacket on. No one was near us. I will never look a the bay agian the same. I could of died. Mrs.bunji u would have never met me. I will bring a life vest and check the weather channnel.
I have experienced many ephiphany's normally when I'm listening to music because that is the only time that I really sit down and think about the serious things. In fact, I had an ephiphany while trying to figure out how to write a post to this blog. I was in a relationship that recently ended because the guy's mom was racist. It's pretty messed up on how she doesn't like me because I'm not full asian. From what I've learned from this whole situation is that I can't change who I am and how I look for anyone. The most important person I have to look out for is myself. Just because some 'mom' doesn't like me means that I should go sulk in the corner and cry. It just makes me stronger. I look back on things that happened to me in past relationships and although they ended, something out of them came a little good. Embarking upon my 16th b-day, has changed my outlook on life in general. The friends that I hung out with in 8th grade, I'm dropping them cause they're just conniving and get on my nerves. They don't realize what they say and how it affects them in many ways. I'm becoming older and wiser each day and it seems like everyone else is just falling behind. I find my "new" outlook on life a positive one because people change all the time, but the only change I can make is for the better.
Wow i can say i had alot of epiphanys in my life. You know when my anut past away i was really upset because I saw her last year and she was doing great smiles, thats all you saw on her face when her family came around. Then this year comes around and i find out that she has cancer. O man that was really shocked because you know you here all at stuff on TV about cancer and me you know never thought it could happen to someone in my family. But you know i kept possitive attitude about it and you know somthimes happyness is tthe only scapegoat for hurt and pain. That whole this changed my life you know all my friends and family that i have that i dont like you kknow i had tomake peace with them all you know life it to short for all that
it happens to me alot while im listening to music . I guess i have to say that music is my epiphany because my day and mood revolves around what i listen to before school. music effects me the most because when the type of music i listen to changes so does my outlook on life does and the way i act. This epiphany triggerd a long time ago and still effects me now. I would say that this changed my life for the better and i dont know where id be without it todya.
well i mean there was a couple of time when i just had sudden ideas just come to my mind.Most of the time it is more towards the music catergorys.there was just so many times where i just look in the air and it's just like bam fifty new ideas come into my brain.but i love writing and being into what i love so its not to hard for me to just think of new ideas because its more like a lifestyle rather than a hobby then its kinda like a habit because i can't help what i love.but sometimes my mind is just blank and then a second later i am writing a song.but this always works out in a good way because it gives me something positive to do with my spare time.
i have epiphanies all the time in calss when i am out in my own zone, while i am listing to music, whem i am walking in the hallways by myself. but i mainly get them when i am listing to music. but i caught this one while i was layin down in my bed tring to go to sleep. i realized that i don't need to have boyfreind at my age because the only thing the can give me is a headach, broken heart and an std. that idea just instanly hit me because my close friends always come to me and tells me how they boyfriend is doing them wrong, there is always a problem EVERYDAY. and sometimes i sit in my room and ponder on why and if i wnat a boyfriend and what i want him for. i realized that everything a boy can do for me i can do it for myself evne better. i also found out that i carry way more money in my pocket then the boys in the school do. and since i am an impaticentand indepentdent person i CAN'T see myself asking another man for some money and then if i had to wait for it i would end up getting mad. so what i am tring to say is that i realized that i don't need a man the only thing i would need him for is to make love, reproduce, or cuddle.
i decided one day to go to church. and when i went i was hooked. i slowly changed my ways and began to follow the words of god. i really changed my life and i was happy about it. My cousin really had an influence in me because she was the one who talked to me about the lord. i have a better out look on life and it really changed the way i think and how i live my life.
Epiphany in my life(long pause). I read the definition typed up for the question and felt as though that wasn't the only meaning for the word, so i looked it up on google. The definition explained for the question indeed is the definition but taken to a further extent than what it is. I guess you could say this version is a specific type of epiphany you can have, in which the realization changes your life in some way. Reason behind me looking it up is because i knew i never had one of these and would have to find a way to answer the question within the lines of the scope your supposed to answer it in. Well i never had one of these specific types of epiphanies that change my life, but i do from time to time have the simple epiphanies that help you realize how something works or how to do something. For instance I'm trying to grasp how to do a certain move or make a move work in my sport and I'm just not getting it. Then after a long time when I'm worn out and about to collapse i finally understand how to do the move and i do it perfectly. Maybe im just not that kind of person to get surprised by a lot of things or behave in a way that is against my honor to make me change myself. Most likely i will never change, for the better or for worse but there is one thing good about that. I'll always be the same person everyone has always known and they know what annoys me and not do it(snicker).
after having to think hard about this blog i have come to the conclusion that my epiphany must have happened after i had found oout that my grandfather had cancer and thta he was terminal. it made me realize that life isn't forever, and to take each day and make it the best as possible. though this news is bad and very upsetting it has lead to certain changes in my life such as quitting smoking, hanging around the grandparents as much as possible, and never forgetting to let a person know how much i care for them.
An epiphany that happened in my life was when I realized I need to focus on God more. A few weeks ago, I went to a party. It wasn't the type of party I usually go to, it was more like a "get together" for being in drama. It was the night of our last show. I dont want to use there real names so I'll make up common names that aren't there's instead. I went to Sally's house, where the party took place. I saw all my cast members and friends. We had and "ok" time, I made myself have fun. By the end, everyone cleared out except a select few. My friend Anna asked this boy about where the Easter bunny came from and the next thing I know, we are having a deep discussion on religion. Anna was Jewish. She was surrounded by a bunch of Christians. My other friend, Mary told her about the goodness of God. She told us a story. One day she was driving to school from her house and a policeman pulled her over.(Mind you, when you attend Oakcrest, you aren't permitted to drive to school.)Mary, forgot to bring her liscence. Actually, she lost it. She didn't know where it was for the past week. She was extremely nervous becuase she knew she wasn't allowed to drive to school and she didnt have a liscense. The cop asked her where she was going and she replied to school. Then he said to Mary; "Your not supposed to drive to school are you?" Mary told him how she had to becuase she had to do alot of stuff and she had to stay after school and how she wouldn't have a ride home. The cop said ok, I'll let you go but I need your liscense and registration. Knowing she didn't have it, she lied and said it was in her wallet in her bookbag in her trunk. If you looked in her backseat on the floor, you would see that the bookbag was sitting there. She got out of her car and went to her trunk. She knew the entire time that she had lost her wallet which had her liscence in it. She opened her trunk and there her wallet was, sitting on top of a box. She showed the cop and drove away. She asked us who do you think I was praising the entire way to school? Every Christian said God. God was with you, and God was on her side that morning. All Anna could say was that "wow. your lucky. god had nothing to do with it." the entire room stood silent. No one said a word. Thats the kind of person Anna was, the Jewish one. Then, we thought God had those people there at that time for a reason. That conversation was for Anna to realize maybe she should focus on God more. Actually, I received something else. This conversation was for me too. I noticed I should praise God more and pay attention to what God has done for me. It was almost out of nowhere, I realized it. Then I thought to myself again. It wasn't really out of nowhere. God made me realize that. So thankyou God.
I found epiphany in my life few summers ago. It was a regular day me and a few frineds were out horsebackriding when my friends horse bucked her off. She fell and landed on a tree stump and was onconcious....I hopped off my horse and rushed to her safety the words she spoke werent at all cleat to me. We were really far back in the woods and there was no cell recpetion. I picked her up and carried her about a half mile back to my house...Blood dripped from her face...I was kinda in shock. I realzed then and there that if for some reason this friend that i had luuged a half mile down a muddy trail suddenly wasnt in my life anymore I would be lost ..And taht was when I learned never to take advantage of the people in your life cause in a slpit second they could be gone. From that day on I have always cherished the frinedships i have alot more drastically.
ahh epiphanies ... I love the randomness of them. now I'm sure alotta people talked about someTHING that was an epiphany. well, I have someONE. a friend. more like my best friend. to be honest I was gonna say that she's like my sister, but I wouldn't even call her my sister cuz I dont talk to my sister like I talk to her. this girl knows more about me than ANYBODY! she probably knows more about me than I do myself. she popped into my life basically outta no where last year and she has made a huge impact on my life since then. she makes me realize that people are gonna talk about me until the day I die and people are gonna hate on me, why should I let them get to me? because I used to think about it and what people thought of me was a huge thing to me for a while. I always had to fit in and not make myself look stupid or anything. but being around her lets me be my goofy retarded self and she'll be right next to me being the same way. she taught me about guys AND girls, relationships, friendships ... anything you need help on SHE GOT YOU! and I'm glad to say that she got my back, cuz I got hers too for ANYTHING and EVERYTHING and if she doesnt kno that, she does now cuz I kno she's reading this. if you didnt get it by now, it's quiona hawkins ... I was gonna put her middle name too but I dont kno if she'd yell at me cuz I put her government out there like that, but I do kno it =] but seriously I LOVE YOU QUIBEAN!!!!!!
epiphanies well this word is sort of new to me but now knowing what it is i had a epiphany last year. When i met jameil he change my life to a very postive way he should me the ups and downs in life.It like he already knew me because he knew what i liked and hated he was like my long lost best firend . i consider jamiel the other half of me i love him and thank him I know we fight but we always seem to make up. I thank him for coming into my life and making me smile!!!!!!!!! ALSO ANOTHER SPEACIL PERSON THAT CHANGE MY LIFE IS MS. BUNJE. SHE ALSO MAKE A GRET IMPACT......
one epiphany that i had a while back was about school. I use to never care about work in school and just mess around with my friends and never pay atention. one day my called me in after class and she said she had failed me for the marking period. she said i was slacking off in class and she began to talk to me about what i wanted to do with my life. I didnt know yet. At that moment i relized that i had to do better in school in order to have fun in my life l8ter on and it really determines what you d in life. When that teacher sat me down i had an epiphany on why you really need school. ive been trying more ever since. o yea that was in like 3rd grade haha. i was a bad little kid.
A major epiphany that I have experienced in my life was receiving the sacrament of Holy Communion. Being raised in a Catholic family who strongly values religion, it was a huge deal when I finally received First Holy Communion, not only for my family, but myself as well. Communion is being able to receive God each Sunday at Church. When I was in second grade, I was finally allowed to eat the Eucharist that i saw everyone else having in Mass. This changed my life by making me realize that God is always with me and a part of me too. I know that religion must always play an important part of my life and practicing good faith will help me to become a better person. By making my Communion God was giving a peice of himself to me and I will not let him down. Knowing that God is always with me, I make sure that my actions in everyday life are what he would expect of me.
i-pif-uh-nee..hmmm i've had a lot of big things happen in my life and as for epiphanies, i'm not sure if this kind of phenomenon has ever happened to me. i believe that everything happens for a reason. i don't know why i'm here, but i do believe that there's a reason for everything. after many problems in my life, i came out of it as an optimist because living a life of sadness is not worth living at all. to me, music is what i live for. it's my inspiration. since i've been taking guitar lessons, it's become something that i look forward to every week. playing guitar clears my head.
Well the word Epiphany is pretty dificult to understand and to experience. In my life I've experienced epiphany in various ways. For example, when my twins cousins were born and I held them In my arms it surprised me how two little adorable people can change a person. I found myself weak in the knees and would anything to raise them well.I even told my cousin that I would babydit them when ever she needed me to. Snd ever single time I held those two beautiful young baby girls my heart melts and I want to be able to buy them the world and they aren't even my baby girls. When I babysit them their smiles, cries, and screams of hunger just brings me joy and Shows me how a little human being can be the most precious beautiful adorable thing and have such and impact in their life styles. I changed from not wanting to babysit children to babysitting all my 7 baby cousins. In the book "Their Eyes Are Watching God" Janie has multiple changes from being kept from her true love to a man who tried contrllin her and tellin her she couldn't show her hair off to a young man that showed her a life of love but at the end he ended up the same as her past husbands but with better respect towards her.
This was kind of a hard blog for me only because I never heard of the word epiphany, although after thinking about past experiences in my life I remembered one incident that changed my outlook on life. This past summer my life took many turns some for the worse and it took a fight that my mother and I had gotten in to realize what I was doing with my life. My mother and I went through rocky times in the summer and the fights had almost become a reaccuring thing and most times whatever she said to me just went in one ear and out the other. One of the very last "big" fights we got in was about me making constant stupid mistakes that consisted of me just being rebellious. The tone of my mom's voice was different this time, it was as if i could almost feel her pain through her words. As she spoke something hit me and my mothers disappointment had become my epiphany, I realized that I needed to do more with my life I needed to be the little girl that my parents raised, the respectful and loving girl. This might not be the best example of an epiphany but i believe that it changed my life for the better.
an epiphany that i have had in my life would be when i went on the leadership training seminar down in florida with a couple of other kids and our pastor. When i was down there there it just sort of clicked that people wont believe you by the words you speak but by the the way oyu act the way you speak and the type of music that you listen to. Ive always tried to be a leader by i finally understood that to be a leader i had to be able to serve not only in my ministry but also in school and at home. I learned that people dont really care about what you say but if they know that all u ever talk about is following god and then they see you start cursing someone out or listening to music that you shouldn't be listening to theyll take note of it and then throw it back into your face when you try and say something to them. To be a good leader you have to be willing to serve them. That is the reason that whenever there is a journal i will always get everyones book for them hoping that they will take notice and if they see it enough times hoping that they ask me why a do it.
I have experienced many epiphanies in my life time. It is hard to think of the one that has impacted me the most. This is a stupid one, but it has affected me greatly. Last monday I got my brand new cell phone stolen. Luckily I ran into someone that told me who had it and I spent a whole period in the math office with Mr. Maggee trying to get it back. I finally got it back. Last month, my ipod got stolen, and last year it was my camera, but unfortunately these things i have not gotten back and probably never will. This changed my whole outlook on this society and the people in it. I cannot trust anyone at all. I always have to keep anything and everything I'm my dumb pockets because I'm pretty sure that no one will try and steal anything from there. I guess you can say that I'm a little dumb. All these things were stolen from my purse and after the first time I should have thought twice before putting anything expensive in there, but I kept on doing it. Now I think I learned my lesson. I shouldn't even put really expensive things in my purse, but I did and I learned the hard way. Now I think more than like three times before putting anything of value in my purses. I always keep my purse on my desk, and if I can't then it is on my lap. These experiences really changed my outlook on life. Now I watch everything. I can no longer trust anyone but the ones who have gained my trust. That is how it is and for now on always will be.
durring my life i have had many epiphinies but the most recent is my school proformance. it turns out i did so bad(compared to what everyone expects) people stop thinking i could do it. but when i do things well nine times out uf ten i do them to prove people wrong. i work better when under the scope and the odds are aginst me. so in a sence haters help me work harder so i can prove them wrong. so me knowing my grades must come up in fighting an uphill battle.will fuel me to do better so actually it os a positive effect on my life. so haters keep doubtin` me its only helping me

Many epiphanies had happened in my life, but there's one which I will always remember. Couple days before I leave Brazil, I was just counting the days until come here, I was so excited. At that time, in my mind, I was thinking in having fun with my family and friends until I go through the best life experience that I had dreamed for.
On my last day, at the airport, just couple minutes before I get in the plane, I wasn't thinking in the same way. It just came to my mind that I was saying goodbye for a entire year to my family and all my friends. I started thinking if maybe I couldn't stay that long away from them, that maybe I wasn't going to be able to do it.
I hugged my mom, and cried. I realized how important in my life they are, how much I love them, how much I was going to miss them, and I still miss.
Once upon a time I had a bad body image of myself. Our school was going on a trip to the lake and I was worried about looking like a fat slob in my bathing suit. For the longest I didn't want to go. My mom kept asking me why but I wouldn't tell her. Finally my sister asked me what was wrong and I told her. She told me I was being ridiculous of course, but it doesn't really matter what someone else says about you until you feel good about yourself. She bribed me into going ( she took me to get a pedicure ) and I ended up having a lot of fun. I realized that there was nothing wrong with the way I looked and that I was normal,as a matter of fact,some of the other girls there had no buisness squeezing there selves into what they were wearing. From then on, I never let what others might think of me ruin what I thought of myself or keep me from doing what I want to do.
One time I was waking up. It was about 12:30pm. It was just a normal day. Nothing was happing. Then a half-hour later my friend rang the doorbell and asked if I wanted to hang out. I said sure. We went to the pizza place and saw another friend of ours there. We ate pizza and drank soda. When we were finished. I we went and played hockey with some other kids from the development. I did not want to play cause I was not good. Then after 10 minuets of watching the other kids play I felt a trip of something. I didn’t fall but I saw a hockey stick. I was ready to walk away but instead I felt a sudden charge to play. When it was all said and done I scored about 36 goals and bunch of assist and tripped someone. It was a fun day.

Hmm. An epifany that I had was when I was shooting clay pigons with my dad. I had been told many times to keep my finger off the trigger until I was ready to shoot. I didn't think much of it but I always put my finger on it lightly. Anyway right before we were going to leave it was my turn to shoot. Well I was waiting for my dad to throw the target and I had the gun pointed at the ground when all of a sudden the gun gose off. It hit right in front of my dad since then always make sure my finger is off of the triger before I shoot and that the gun isn't pointed anywhere near anybody.

well an epiphany.i havent really experienced many.when im kept to myself to think alot.im the type of person that goes through random topics. lately i have had a bad attitude towards people and im not quite myself compared to how i reguarly act.well,i had spent the night at my aunts and everything was cool until we were about to go out and my hair was a mess we started arguing and blurted out some things that have been broiled up.than my aunt had said you know sometimes i go home upset because i feel like you hate me,and the family feels as though you dont love them anymore.your attitude sucks and we really want the sweet girl we use to know.we love you kiara but we dont like how you are now.just than i thought to myself like wow have i really gotten this far to upset my family.i felt really bad and i knew i had to try hard to change.and now im trying to become close to my family again because i know how much it hurts them that i rarely want to be with them
Not that long ago I sat in my room and I was just sitting there and noticed on how much I let everything else in life bother me and how I didn't do things for myself and I was always self consious about myself and always did what everyone else thought or saw me as. So not that long ago my sister I notcied started doing the same thing and I realized that I need to change the way that I was to who I really want to be not someone else. I sat down and talked to my sister and told her that she is beautiful in her own way the same as for me and everyone else. This really hit me deep to notice that everything that I do or say that my sister notices it the same with my boyfriend. He even sat me down and told me that he is there to help me with my problems the same that I do for everything else. I learned from this lesson that to watch what you do because one day it's going to hit you in the face when you least expect it and from the least person you would expect it from.
There was one time when my brother and I were fighting about playing games. I didnt want to but everyone did and I dont like ruining everyones fun. so I made a deal with him so I would play, even though I didnt want to. So I played the game and ended up wining and was lied to. The deal was I play and he tells me what color he was painting his car. He told me that he painted it white and I belived him. I found out the next day that everyone knew about the color besides me and I felt really dumb. I was so mad at him cause he lied to me and told everyone else and made me look like a fool. This was the one and only brother I liked and now he lied to me so we dont have the same strong bond we have.
I think the one time I witnessed Epiphany in my life was when I went to go stay half the summer with my grandfather in Maryland. It started when I was 12 and my dad said I was going to stay with my grandfather for half the summer at first I thought to my self I didn’t really know my grandfather at all since I was a about 3 years old. This was a crazy time in my life because I was staying with my grandfather who I barely even knew for a half of a summer I was think we had a lot of catching up to do. But what I learned that summer was respect and it was painful learning it and I respect him a lot we had so much fun that summer. I thought it was going to be boring because I didn’t really know him that well. Now me and my grandfather have a great relationship.
When I think of an Epiphany, i think of something deeply spiritual that speaks to you on many different levels.
I found this blog particularly difficult (so, i left & came back to do it 3 days later) because I truly cant remember any case of having an epiphany. I cant recall any deeply thought-provoking, spiritually awakening realizations... Although Im sure I must have had at least one, I cant say for sure. But, I think an epiphany is most likely a very valuable experience in life & would most likely make a change in a person, be it good or bad, I think ultimately it serves as a good teacher...
An epiphany i found was this summer when i went to miami. I met my mom's boyfriend face to face when i use to just talk to him on the phone. He is a cheff in a multi-million dollar restaurant and he has his own menue. But he was so kind to me that he said when i graduate from highschool, he has a jo b for me thier already, and he has a car for me so i can be nice and happy thier when i go to collage thier. The epiphany i felt thier was because he wasnt doing it to buy me of because they broke up already but he still is the same guy. It felt safe like i said and a hard to explain confort in him like he was my real dad. But to me an epiphany is something that you feel out of the ordinary and its either good or bad.
An epiphany I had was one I had earlier this year. My great grandmother pasted away on January 28, 2007. It didn't really hit me until I was at her funeral. When I seen my family crying, I wasn't too emotional. I then reminisce about past times I had about with my grandmother, and how great a woman she was. I didn't really seen her much, because she lived in Pennsylvania and I lived here on south jersey, we lived a good two hours away (car drive). But when I seen her she treated m very well, she was always calm and taught a lot of my family members the hard lessons of life. She taught me some things as well that at the time she told me I didn't pay much attention, but now I understand her better on what she told me. I was one of the pallbearer's of the funeral, so when I was carrying her out it started to hit me how I'm going to miss her. She taught me to always be strong, even though she was the first death that I experienced throughout my family, I'll always remember to be strong. So there's an epiphany that will help me throughout my whole life.
Ok , as ridiculous as this is at such a young age , I finally got the concept of what love really means . I've grown up figuring it was a mythical thing , I guess you could say , people talked about it for centuries , but did it REALLY exisit ? And if it WAS infact real , why is there so much heart break in our society today . Why does divorce , cheating , etc. occur , if you really LOVE someone ? One night , last month I believe it was , I had some friends over . A ceartain person and my self , are closer then the rest though . Always have been , always will be . It was about 4:00 in the morning and everyone was alseep , and him and I came upstairs , to sit down , looking out the window , to have our annuel talks . We always have deep meaningful talks about everything life throws at you , but this time , it happened to be love , and all it's high points and low ones . I agrued the point that it's not real for about an hour , until it hit me , with everything he said . He's a very smart boy , and that's what I adore about him , you can hold a conversation for hours with this person , and he'll argue his point to the very end . It's great . That's not the point though , with every passing minute that a word slipped his lips about the fact that love does exisist , with various examples how , and when hurt happens to people in marriges , relationships , etc. it's NOT love that they had , it was lust or soem other hard to explain feeling , but when you do infact find LOVE , it is real , and people can experience it .
WELL, IT FINALLY WORKED MS. BUNJE. I DECIDED THAT SINCE IM SICK, I'LL TRY TO DO THIS AND I DID. I DONT QUITE UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF EPIPHANY TOO WELL, BUT I'LL GIVE IT A TRY. AN EPIPHANY THAT I EXPERIENCED WAS LYING. [MOST OF MY BLOGS HAVE REVOLVED AROUND THIS BECAUSE IT HAS MADE A HUGE IMPACT ON MY LIFE] WELL AS SOON AS I GOT IN TROUBLE FOR LYING, I DIDNT UNDERSTAND WHY WHAT I DID WAS SO WRONG. OVER THE PAST TWO MONTHS IT BECAME CLEARER TO ME THAT IF I TOLD THE TRUTH, I WOULDN'T HAVE GOT IN TROUBLE. SOMETIMES TELLING THE TRUTH CAN BE WORSE THAN LYING, BUT AT LEAST YOU KNOW THAT YOU TOLD THEM THE TRUTH. IF YOU LIE, THEN YOU WON'T HAVE TRUST WITH A PERSON [IN MY CASE, MY PARENTS]. SINCE THIS HAS HAPPENED, I HAVE GAINED MORE THAN JUST TRUST WITH MY PARENTS. I GAINED A FRIENDSHIP WITH THEM. IT HAS CHANGED MY LIFE IN A POSITIVE WAY BECAUSE I CAN TELL MY PARENTS A LOT OF THINGS AND THEY UNDERSTAND AND BELIEVE ME. I TRY TO TELL MORE OF THE TRUTH BECAUSE LYING GOT ME NOWHERE, BUT IN TROUBLE.
Ive had a few epiphanies in my life, however i dont belive that any were actually meaningful. Sure i had a few in math maybe, like after studying for a while i finally understand it. Also, while listening to music, i usually sing the words without actually getting what they mean, and then one day, boom, it makes sense. However, im still waitng for the day where a meaningful epiphany will pass through my life that will impact me in a way that will make me wiser, and help influence my life.
So when i finally opnened my eyes was just about last year. I have lost the most important people in my life. They were ALL gone, and thats when i realized that lifes way too short. So basically, live your life the way you want to. Leave earth being happy and satisfied with the life you once had.
Epiphanies.. okay, this is going to be good. I can’t even say that word. But according to this blog, it means a sudden, brilliant insight or perception that you get from seemingly out of nowhere. Even better, I can’t say the word or completely understand the definition. Thank goodness Ms. Bunje made sure she added her “deep, philosophical level “ of thinking definition: to suddenly just "get" something that has a great impact on your life in some meaningful way. Okay, now that I know what epiphany means, a lot of things come across my mind that can fit that definition. The latest one that happened to me was just a couple weeks ago. I realized that life is short and often ends too soon. Death can be unexpected and affect loved ones in so many ways. My Grandpop was hospitalized after having 2 heart attacks. He was less than an hour away from death when the doctors hooked in up to machines to keep him alive. His heart attack affected me in so many ways and really opened up my eyes to so many things. It made me step back and really think about life and the reality of things. While my Grandpop was in the hospital, I became very close with God, praying to him all the time. God is good and with Him in your life there is nothing that you cannot accomplish.
Throughout my life I had experienced a couple epiphanies. However, I think the one that made the biggest difference in my life didn’t happen until just recently. Just about two weeks ago my grandmother got really sick, and no one thought she was going to make it. When she was laying there I couldn’t help but to realize oh my god what was the last thing I said to her? Was what I said mean? Or was in nice? As my grandmother laid there on the hospital bed on a breathing and feeding tube there was so much running through my head there was so many things I wanted to ask her and tell her. More than anything I wanted to tell her I loved her even though I didn’t always show it, and I wanted her to be able to say it back. When I saw my grandmother laying there it made me break down to see someone I know that has always be so strong now laying there barely able to move. I realized right than that my whole life I have been taking everything for granted. I just always assumed that my grandmother would always be at my house when I needed her for anything. After seeing her so sick I knew that some day not today or tomorrow my grandmother won’t be waiting for me when I get home. I know one day she will be gone but now when that day comes I’m going to be happy to know I treated her well and told her I loved and changed the ways I treated her.
i find it interesting how i'm sitting here reading this blog question over and over again trying to conprehend it. i read pratically everyone elses blog looking for some inspiration yet nothing came to mind. why do i find these blog questions so complicated to answer? thats when it hit me. maybe its just my negitive thinking but i always seem to think the opposite to all of the blogs. i'm sure you might have realized this reading my blogs. i serious cannot think of any epiphanys in my life that really had something positive effect me. every epiphany that came to mine just made me relize how hard life is and all the lies and evil it has in it. i can still remember 2nd grade playing tag in the park and not having a care in the world. little did i know my life was a world of lies. now that i'm old enough to see the truth on what i thought my life was like at that age it just makes me sick how happy i was not knowing exactly what was going on around me. sometimes i wish i was still ablivious to the things going on around me. i know that you are probably looking for something happy to hear and i'm sorry to disapoint you but when i take the time to think of somethng to type only bad memories come to mind. this has been going on for as long as i can remember. the only thing i can really say positivly about it all is that i can learn from the expierances and the mistakes.
I didnt really no what epiphany really met the first time i read the blog but after reading it a second time, i thought about the last time it happened to me. The last time I was in Mexico one my sisters got really sick and my mom said it was because she had low blood pressure. She would get really hot and would want to pass out. I got really scared because I thought she was really sick. Well time passed and months later she started feeling sick again. She was feeling sick all day but never felt like passing out or anything serious. That night my parents went out to the store and i was left at home alone with my sister. That was when she started feeling worse. her face was really hot, she wasnt breathing right and she said she couldnt feel her fingers or face. I started to panic and didnt no what to do. So I called my mom and told her to hurry up. i started crying because I didnt no what to do and my sister wasnt feeling any better. And to tell you the truth i thought for a second she was going to die right infront of me. I really didnt want to think about that but I did and it felt horrible. When my mom got home we took her to the hospital and everything turned out ok. What I learned that day was that life is too short. You never really no what's going to happening to you. And when you see things on t.v. you never think it's going to happen to you but you never know. I would of never guessed that that was going to happen to me. I was really scared and i just hope it never happens again.
I think one thing that really changes my life everyday, would be my girlfriend. Talking to her really brightens my day, and she actually guides me from doing the wrong thing. She also makes me do my homework.. haha If she knows i won't do it, she tells me to do it and i normally listen. She really has caused an impact on my life. I am just so happy when i am with her, or even not with her. I guess that sounds weird, but its something i couldn't live without and it is really the only thing i have that i know will make me happy.
An epiphany that happened to me hmh, that is tough to think of. But the one that i have experienced in my life, deffinately has to be school, without a doubt. Before i would never care abuot school it would just be like whatever who needs it ill figure it out on my own. But one day when my parents sat down and takled to me about school in like the 5th and realized that school is very important in my life. The main thing that triggered it was that they said that basically if i ever want to be someone in life or be able to do what i want sometimes and buy what i want then i need to go and do well in school. Plus, that if i just slack off and fail then right after school i will probably living right off the streets living off like barely any money, and that wouldnt be cool would it? It changed my life because i now at least atempt to do well in school i am doing OK in school, but i have to remember to keep thinking about doing well and pushing myself. Plus, one thing that keeps me motivated is that my parents love golf and mrytle beach, and one day i hope i can buy them a house right next to a golf course in mrytle beach, my parents would love that and so would i :). That is the most important and still is the most important epiphany in my life.
when i first read this blog i didnt understand it very much then i read it over and asked a friend to kinda describe an example to me then i got to thinking about things and i realized that i realized something like this has happened to me. i think. i would say that this school year has so far been the best but the worst at the same time because ALOT has happened to me and i came to the conclusion that you dont need a whole lot of friends because you cant trust anyone. i can truly trust about 5 people. and that after i stopped being friends with certain people i realized how messed up they really were well are and how there fake and two faced and that i really dont need or want to deal with people like that in my life.
THE WORD EPIPHANY IS SORT OF A NEW WORD TO ME. THERE IS THAT ONE SPEICAL SOMEONE THAT MADE ME SEE THINGS DIFFERNTLY IN MY LIFE AND HOW I GO ABOUT THINGS I DO. HE WAS THERE TO TRIGGERED IT AND MAKE SEE THINGS DIFFERENTLY IN MY LIFE NOW THAN I UESD TO WHEN I WAS YOUNGER. HE WAS A REAL TRUE FRIEND WHEN I NEED HIM THE MOST. HE WAS KEPT IT REAL WHEN MY OTHER FRIENDS WASN'T THEIR FOR ME. AND I REALLY AND TRULLY LOVED HIM FOR THAT. EVEN THOUGH WHEN I DID SOMETHING WRONG HE WILL ALWAYS SEE THE BRIGHTER SIDE OF THINGS. THE WORD EPIPHANY WORD MEANS TO ME EVEN THOUGH THINGS GO WRONG YOU SHOULD ALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHTER SIDE OF THINGS WHICH HE THOUGHT ME.
ummm. I never had a real epiphany. I had something but I dont what it is called. It happens when I watch Suspence movies. I really dont get what is going on then bamm it hits. then i understand it so i guess it is epiphany. The same sitution but i think i know what happen then it didnt then i usally get confused. Hopefully when i gwt my epiphany. it will be positive a meanigful in a way. I also hope i stay away for the bad ones. And when i get i hope it fells good and gets me exicted. When i 3watch the movies it and it happens it gets me exicted.
Well i never had a "deep philosophical" epiphany, but i did have a moment somewhat like an epiphany. One time, i was in the shower and music was on in the background. There was this one line in a song that i couldn't figure out and it really bothered me. Suddenly out of no where i realized what the line meant. This was the line: "I can tell your lying when your lips move." When i realized what this meant, (everything the person says is a lie), i felt so stupid. I always thought i was smart enough to figure stuff like that, but i was wrong. This didnt really change my life at all but it did get me a good laugh.
An epiphany that occured to me was on the 50 mile hike I took befor school started this year. It happened right after my nearly fatal accident. I had slipped and went sliding towards a drop off. I stoped my self just in the nick of time. After the ordeale me and the others joked about it. When we got moving agen it hit me that people take life for granted and don't realize how preacious it is until they almost die or loose some one close to them. My epiphany was triggered by almost falling to my death on a trail in the Appalachian Mountains. I no longer take life for granted and realize that every thing that happens to me can save my life or end it. It also can mean looseing freinds or makeing freinds. It also made me think about how fortunite I was to have such good freinds who were willing to sacrafice them selves to try and save me and what a good family and other freinds I have those who have past and those who are still around.
well its alot to say there is alot of things that i think about that is crazy and i just keep thinking about it.for example sometimes i be thinking of the negitives in life.like how would it be if i finish school or if i dont i be thinking what will happen and i will also think what will my family and friends think of me finishing school or always doubting me.like girls in my family they all got pregnant around the age 15-16 and almost all of them were doubted in living life better ill think if i had a child they will say the same about me or notso im bascally living life in doubt bacause all i care is about what they all think about me and i know is wrong but later on in life it will change because i have to start thinking bout me.
so, i've been sitting her for the last 5-10 minutes just thinking, and trying to think of something to write. asking myself if i don't think deeply about stuff enough. but then i realized i think like this all the time . Then i thought about what scares me the most , and thats death . which brought me back to the question . just in the beginning of the year i was sitting in first period , honestly half asleep . then just thinking about death , myself dying or a friend or family member . only one person somewhat close to me died , and i rarely saw him . But sitting there thinking , i almost scared myself . thinking that i only get to live once . I won't wake up get ready go throug my day talk to my friends , family . You never know what could happen next , or the last time you'll be able to see someone . and thinking about that made me sick to my stomach and was the wierdest feeling i ever had . and whenever , i'm feeling down i think of how we all only get to live once , so live how you want , i would rather be happy with my life then be upset . and i don't like to hold grudges and stay mad at people because i would rather just be happy and have a good time .
there have been a couple of epiphany moments in my life but the one that stands out the most was an epiphany with my grandmother. My Grandmother and I werent very close and one week she became ill and had a slim chance of living. She made it through and from that time on i sweared to myself that i would become closer and stay in touch with my family. This epiphany made me realize that you can lose to some one at any given moment
Well, one epiphany for me was my religion. I was sitting in church like i had done every sunday and wednesday of my life, and then on one random day, it all clicked. I figured out why i was spending so much time at church, and why it was so important. I dont really know what was special about this day in particcular, but for some reason i understood everything, and it was so clear. It has changed my life in a possitive and meaningful way by setting guidelines for me. I live my life in accordance with what my religion describes is the correct way to live a life. It has made me happier, and has helped me gain a good group of friends, and to let go of some not so good friends!
Well I had to think long and hard about this question, and this is what I came up with. I have a friend that has a great impact on my life, and that is my boyfriend. He is my entire world and I love him to death. The first time I looked into his eyes I knew I was in the right hands. When everyone around me was hurting me he was helping me. When I thought that I had real friends and not ones that lie and are fake he was there to tell me that I don't need them and I would find better. I can talk to him and not feel like he doesn't understand me because he does. I don't just love him because of his physical I love him because he has a great personality and he has a great outlook on life. He has changed me in a positive way and I can see it. I used to be a mean person(well I still kind of am) and prejudge people before I met them. Now that we have talked about it he has changed my view on people. And I can actually be a better person without getting mean. And I know any change that is going to happen I know it's going to be for the best
Another tough one. Probably the day i got my braces off. I mean it was not much of a surprise i saw it comming for a while but i think it made somewhat of an impact on my life NOw i can eat the foods i want to eat all the time and i never have to worry if i get something caught like food in my braces or if i hit my lip real hard my braces would get all caught up in it which did happen to me before. So geting them off was definately sometinhg positive.
I have experienced many epiphanies in my life. Most of the time they come when I am doing nothing like watching TV, listening to music, or when I am about to fall asleep. One epiphany I had was four months ago when my aunt died of lung cancer. I was sitting in bed the night after she died when I realized that I had not seen her for over seven months. I realized I should be spending more time with my family because you never know when they might be gone. I had another epiphany when I heard about a kid in North Jersey that got kidnapped. The kid was staying out past his curfew and he got kidnapped. I usually always stay out past my curfew, but when I heard about this I realized I should be more careful.
Honestly i dont think i quite had an epiphany yet in my life. Throughout my life i have had many positive and negative things but i wouldnt say my positives so far in life would count as an epiphany. But you can never know when an epiphany is about to happen so maybe and hopefully mine will happen in the near future eventhough my life is already good.
My epiphany was when I'm listening to music, because that's all I ever do. I always listen to songs that help me in the situation I'm in and it helps me get through whatever I going through. Because it relates to my life and that you should enjoy life everyday. Nothing should ever keep you down, because life goes on. And if you don't forget about the situation, you'll be missing a lot of great things that are going on now. I learned to treat everyday like it's you last day, because who knows it could be.
Music Is My Savoir.When im down I listen to music,when im in a stressfull mood I listen to music,when I have no one to turn I listen to music.With out music I think I would be crazy.The Artist protray alot of life lessons.They write about life,money,sex relationship etc.. In many ways peers my age can can relate to it.Music is an inspiration to me and it really makes me think about life situations and what I should do about them.
PS.Ms.bunje im not to sure if this is what you were asking for so sorry if its not.
A huge impact in my life that was positive had to be Inline speed skating. I started doing this sport when I was in the 5th grade and without it I would not be the person I am today. It gave me the drive, determination and passion I have today. It kept me from the wrong crowd and gave me a good work ethic at a young age. It showed me if I take the time to practice I could be the best. Skating made me happy especially when I won meets. Summers were just spent on skating I didn’t really have a social life besides the people I skated with but that didn’t seem to bother to much. Which is great now since I deal with a holes everyday in school and I can care less about them.
I had a few epiphanies in my lifetime, like when my father passed away. There was no time to say goodbye it was very sudden. So I think of just live the life you want to and make it happy becuase you never know what tomarrow or any other day could end up. It made my life positive because it opened my eyes to reality.
one day at all star practice (for football) i were going live for the last half hour of practice. I was having an ok practice. My o-line coach made a comment "hey smith u keep this up u have a good chance to play in college." On the way home thats when i had my epiphany. Science that i been work my hardet on and off the feild. Going to all the camps i can find, and lifting my butt off, and make sure i have the grades to play. so i guss it was effected my life in a pretty positive way. thats the only one in my life. so im gona make like tolite paper and roll
peace bunje
An empiphany many of you may have, had one, but I have never experenced one. But if I had to say anything about an empiphany, I would say if you saw something bad you should take advantage of it, and live and try to change it.
I dont really understand the meaning of the word epiphany but i will give it a try. An epiphany that i experienced was lying. I realize that when you lie you get yourself into more trouble than you would if you didnt lie. When you lie to someone no matter who it is if you get caught lying often the person is going to start to not believe anything you say. This has happened to me. I lied to someone very special to me a few times. The person now doesnt trust me at all and everytime we talk the person says things like uhuh or how do i know your not just lying and many more things. Its not easy having someone think your lying all the time because when you sit down and try to have a serious talk and your not lying at all, the person will not believe anything you say, even though you havent told a lie. When you lie you lose someones trust and i think trust is very important. If you dont have trust in a person then what is there?! This has changed my life in a positive meaningful way because i learned that lies bring nothing good, i learned that lying can cause destruction between to people or a relationship. I also learned that if you tell the truth you wont be in as big of a problem as you would be in if you did lie. I learned those things and thats why now i lie sometimes but mostly i dont anymore. Everyone lies even if they say they dont so i wont sit here and write that i dont lie anymore thats why i said i lie sometimes but mostly i dont. When you tell a lie you have to make up other lies to cover the background story of your first lie. Then the lies start to build up and you get caught in a situation. You have to think how would you like it if someone lied to your face. Lying is a part of life and everyone does it but i think that everyone should understand that its not good to lie because even with the littlest white lie you can lose everyone and everything around you!!
Now.. I had to read this question a couple of times just to get the tur meaning of the question. I tried to attach the question to my life and see if I turely had that one defining moment that changed my corse of thing about something. Although I did have a few occasions were I use to think one way about something and something occured that made my train of thought changed.Eventhough thats what the question is asking I don't really think those moments count. The only recent occasion were I think had an epiphany is when my gandma past. She was the first member in my life time to go and I never really understood the fact that if somone goes you had to be sad. And for a while I was until I relized that it would hurt her more if I was sad. If I just keep going on day to day in her honor.
I guess i can say that the only person i would say has a epiphany on me is my cousin shakara. I guess she's the only person that i tell my business told and when i'm down i know that i can talk to her. She's always there and when i nedd advice yeah she may be youmger then me but she sure can give some good advice. I mean i normally can always hellp my own self out but i realized when i'm really going through somthing that has me hurting inside i know that i can depend on her no matter what. You may say that i';m weird for having a freshman give me advice but i guess sometimes younger people can give a heck of advice and thats why i love my cousin shakara
I know that we have been reading a lot about epiphany in our novels from class. Of all the instances in my life where epiphany has impacted me, the most was when my girlfriend and I got back together. We had went out in sixth grade for a while, and then in eighth grade, we started going back out. She is the best thing that has ever happened to me. We do everything together, and I couldnt picture my life without her. The epiphany was triggered when we first started going out again because I had lost her, and wasnt the same without her. She is my everything, and completes me. My life is changed for the best. I have the best girlfriend I could possibly have, and now I have some thing to look foward to, for now I am happy with the girl I've been with for two years of my life. These are the best two years of my life, and if thats not epiphany, than I dont know what is.
To tell you the truth I never heard the word epiphany in my life. But I think kind of understand what it mean. Epiphany impacted my life in school. Let me tell you that at the beginning of the year i did not care about schoolat all. I didn't do none of my work and I didn't even attempt to try to do my work. I just didn't care about anything. School was nothing to me. Until one day I realized that I was going to fail my class. I never failed a class in my life. That's when I woke up and realized that I can't be in school not trying or not doing my work. I thought about it and I was like I can't believe I did not care about anything. I also realized that I needed to work hard in school in order to succeed in life. And get all the education I can get while i have the opportunity to do so. I don't want to get up in life being a failure so I decided to do all my work or at least attempt to try it no matter what.
I've only ever had one real epiphany in my life and that was a few weeks after my great grandmother died. I realized that I should live every day as if it's my last. I also realized that I should just live life to the fullest. I have always called her my nana and she always lived life with excitement. I realized this when on day when I was just sitting in my room listening to music. Ever since that day I realized that life was just to short to take for granted. Now almost every time I get a chance to try some thing new I do. At the same time it made me realize that I should just express myself the way I want to and not really worry about what other people think.
i thing that i have a lot of epiphany in my life . my father almost died and i change alot because thios wasnt the first time it had happened .so i try to do my best to make him happy . one day he might past away and i dont want to have that in my mind that he was mad at me. so i look at every thing diffently now .so every time i say something to any body i think about what im going to say because my dad scared me alot. so before he pass on i want to him to see me happy and do what i got to do . without no one telling me how i have to do it .
well after my peoples died in 2005 an epiphany came over me witch was that you should live for to day and not for the future, because you could die at any given time and at iny give place. when he first died i couldint really get over his deat untill i got this thru my head it took a while but i realize that he is in a better place now and its notthing nobody can do about it but wait untill its there time to go.

I've only ever had one real epiphany in my life and that was when i was 14 and i was living in new york. my cousin had a baby and he was only 15. he was one of my best cousins and we always used to hang out. but now he only talk on the phone with me and that was one of the reasons i came here to new jersey. my mother did not want me hanging out with him because she thought that he was a bad influence on me and my little sister and brother. it was hard for me to say bye. i only seen the baby once and that was when i was leaving. i coundnt belive that he would do that, my dad said he was a good kid but my mom didnt take it very well so we moved and came here to new jersey.
Being so young I have not yet reached an epiphany that I think will impact my life forever. The closest I've been to reaching an epipihany was around the middle of last school year. I was just a completely miserable person. If you knew me you probably wouldn't believe that but I was. I realized that I needed to stop just letting my life go on with out me controling the way it went. Day after day I was unhappy and I never did anything about it. I decided that I would change the way I live my life day to day and be sure to make life as enjoyable as I can. I've been doing a pretty good job at that ever since. I made new friends and it triggered my change of mind. I saw how happy they were with their lives and knew that they could help me become just as happy. My life isn't close to being perfect and there are some real bad days sometimes but I feel a whole lot better about the way things are going.
I have had a few epiphanies like realizing that santa or the tooth fairy weren't real. when i realized that santa wasnt real i wasn't to disappointed because i never figured that he existed i just never had proof. Than one night i waited up all night for santa but he had never come. i had been up all night and never went to sleep. when i heard my parents getting up i went to my room and pretended to be sleeping and when they told me to see what santa left i pretended as if he had and i had gotten a few presents from santa but i knew that it was just my parents that left them their. it was an epiphany because i realized that adults dont have to tell the truth to kids but the kids still believe what ever they say. i dont think it changed me in a positive because i became less trusting of my parents and it really wasnt that meaningful i was only 6.
Well my Epiphany isn't really a word it was more of a feeling As soon as I got out of middle school I knew I wanted to make a change because I absoulutely hated it So I think I took some soul searching and I started to go out alot with friends and that opened myself to a different part of life the good part you would say and I became a better rounded person on the inside and out.
Well i really dnt think i had one yet but i would call it something else... its more like a dream somewat... like you have a dream and something really happens. Like i had a dream that someone in my family was gonna get in a car accident..Later on it really happened it was my cousin....So i really wouldnt call it that.....Peeeeaaaccceeeee.
im not really sure if i have ever had an epiphany that i can remember but im sure i have had to of had one. well actually there is one epiphany i have had and that is when i realized that the way people act isnt always completely their fault. yeah it may be their fault that they act like that but it could also be the environment they grew up in that made them that way. people are a product of their environment and you cant always blame someone for acting a certain way. there may be a kid who is really mean and just treats people like trash but that kid could have grown up being treated like that and being treated like trash is the only way he knows to treat people. this epiphany has led me to not misjudge someone just because of their actions that may be unordinary to others but very common to that person.
hmm this blog is extra late; but theres no harm in still doing it.epiphany- what a word. at first when i read this blog ; absolutly no situations came to mind. but i had to dig a little deeper. ive had many epiphanys and didnt even realize it. like almost everytime im upset or feeling some sort of way besides myself i usually have a type of epiphany to take me out of my little abyss. i hate feeling sad or out of my comfort zone so thats usually what triggers my occasional epiphanys. it changes my life because i usually have a better outlook. i know how i should live my life but sometimes it takes me a while to actually believe in myself. its just like a sudden confidence in yourself and it does have a big impact on my life. without these random epiphanys i think i would probably be a really depressed person who has no point of living.
At first site reading this word I didn’t think I understood it but I guess I might after reading it over and over again. I believe that I have had epiphanies in my life. Everyone suddenly has things that come into their life that have deep meanings. Whether they understand it or not I don’t know. I think that moving into my dad’s house and out of my mom’s house has had a HUGE impact on the person I am. it showed me that things happen and that life needs change. moving out of my moms was a good thing not a bad thing. Going from one way of life to a completely different one. I think that it taught me that everything always is changing in your life and there’s nothing you can do to prevent those things. i realized that if i moved in with my dad that things would brighten up adn get better. i knew that being at my moms was no longer good for me. i used to constantly lie to my dad because my mom told me to. i was wrapped around her finger. until one day two summers ago i decided that i wanted to live with my dad. this is something that i wanted to change right away. its something i thought i would never do and it has created a very positive way of life for me. i think that living with ym dad is one of the best ideas that i ever have had. i was only 14 when i had this out of no where idea.
well for the last past year i had been partying alot,being bad,and arguing with parents.things werent going very well, then one day i had went to church, i had been to church before it really didnt affect me as it had now. i realized i was goin on the wrong track and that i would be lost and really needed god in my life.now i feel as though im a different person.
sorry this is so late !
well at first i didnt know what a epiphany was but now that you explained it to me i got a better idea of what it was. when i was in middle school i use to think that i had to have alot of friends because i use to be the "quite girl" that never use to talk to anyone this is because i thought i had nothing good to say and i was afraid of what ppl would say..one day i relized that i only need a few close friends that i can tell everything to and not worry bout what there going to say about it. im starting to be more open and talk more to different people. idk if this is a epiphany but i tried love ya bunje.
