When I found out that I was going to be a mom!
I realized that everything up until then was just about me, and that from that moment forward, I had someone else that relied on me. I know it sounds trite, but it is a profound feeling, and it really does make you grow up fast. Even though I was 23 when I got pregnant, it still floored me.

Understanding thermodynamics, or beginning to ... That is, understanding that what happens, has no "cause" and needs none. What happens IS the nature of the universe ... even the evolution of complex life is just like water flowing downhill, in this universe, "because" that's what the universe is like. This is MUCH more awesome than creation, or the idea of "Intelligent Design" or any of that small minded stuff that imagines the universe was created by the willful action of some tinkering humanlike thinker-god. Creation's a beautiful metaphor, but only after you have the epiphany that justifies it.

When I realized I am strong & can make it on my own. I used to think I needed someone there for me at all times. I went from one relationship to another, afraid to be alone. But when relationships didn't pan out I realized I couldn't rely on someone else to be there for me & I had to make it on my own.
I bought a house, by myself, in a new community. It's been very empowering to realize I don't need a man financially, emotionally or at all really. Though it is nice to have one around, even if things don't work out, I will be ok. I like myself. I enjoy my own company. I love art & music. They make life worth living. I love my cats. They are great companions. I love nature. I had a religious experience one day alone on a lake, watching the sun rise. I felt the presence of God. It was comforting. I realized I'm never really alone. He is there watching over me. No matter what, I will be ok.

I discovered after I had been married about six years that men are not the only ones who can have an orgasm. I didn't find out what it was like for about three more years. (Is that an epiphany?)

When I realized that there is no god. It was the biggest let down and relief of my life. I finally felt happy like a great weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I fell like I can finally live my life to the fullest.

Realizing that one cannot seek to find it. Each is our own. Try thinking of the worst moment of your life and what you did after. Was it what you expected to do? or do you not remember? Were you strong or weak? Did you need others, or did you just do what you had too? Now stop and think of the best moment in your life!

"....you mean...I'm NOT the only person in the world!?!" I discovered that there is no such thing as alone, and that everything I do affects somebody in some way. I discovered the power I have to make a difference, and started with myself.

i watched the french movie amelie today and the character of a failed writer said that failure is the destiny of man and that life is a rehersal for a play that will never happen, that quote made me look at life in a more light-hearted and open way, a play that will never take place-all the mistakes and failures in life don't bring life down but are just a part of it

i was sitting in a car ready to drive over a cliff. yes , i was goingg to commit suicide and i was drinking my last drink. once i finished i was goin over and it was done. when my bottle hit the half mark, i had a strange sensation come over me. anger. if i die, they win. who they are I'm not sure. but the point is, if i die the ones that drove me to the edge (literally) would win. they would have exactly what they wanted. i would not allow that. and to live and prove that no one can break me is the mightier. i refused to give up and since have not tried anything like that again. i became angry and wont let others take advantage of me again. i live to spite those that wanted to break me. and i have accomplished it.

When the Fog appeared to me at my home and mysteriously disappeared.
To have witnessed apparitions is simply breathless and that to me has to be my biggest Epiphany.
Believe this, when you die you will see the light.
