not sure what subject to call this.

and I am not sure really what to write. I feel like I am having an epiphany, and the last time I had one this big, and of a similar nature was 1991. Possibly around the same time of the year too... March.... Autumn. I was 13 years old. 20 years ago. I dont know if there is something significant about coming full circle 20 years later, but anyway...

That was a great year though, I did enjoy being 13... but things are a bit more complicated now than they were back then. Anyway, the weird thing about epiphanies is when you realise you see something in a way you never saw before, and it was staring you in the face all along.

Anyway this probably all looks like crazy talk, especially when I am not being more specific. Im not sure why I am writing this thread, I guess I just felt the need to say all this, perhaps just to myself.

Do you feel like saying more about the epiphany or it is too personal? (That was not sarcastic by the way! Sorry, I realize it might have looked sarcastic.) I am really interested to know what your epiphany is! Or maybe it's something that can't be put into words.

i'd like to know too!

Me too! (<--shortest, easiest reply I've ever made in The Haven
XD)

It's like a teaser for a movie only it's a forum post.

yes.

Im sorry guys, I didnt mean to tease anyone, its kind of that I cant really find any words for it all, and also it is too long a story... perhaps if I come up with some proper words I will write something.

anyway, feel free to discuss your own epiphanies in here if you want.

Hopefully it's of a positive nature, anyway! (I couldn't tell, this being the Haven.)

I wonder if people discover the meaning of life all the time but it is too big and sprawling to put into words.

I've had epiphanies over the years, mostly that have dealt with how I interact with the world (in retrospect, my psychologist would call this 'developing coping skills'). Usually it would be some a-ha! moment when I realize why people get so mad at me, or that my comfortable body language (arms crossed) comes off as being aggressive or angry or something.

This year, with my diagnosis of Asperger's, I'm having more of a convergence..a bunch of seemingly separate epiphanies are now linked with my discovery of what exactly is wrong with me. It's a triumphant feeling! With the help of those close to me plus the ever helpful folks in the forums (that's you all), I'm figuring out how to finally be and feel successful.

Celebrate your epiphany, and do tell us about it if you can

I had an epiphany about a year and a half ago, in 2009 when everything started to come together for me. I'm not going to repeat the story again until that anniversary date comes around. I'm sure that everybody on WP knows about it by now. It was really something to find the real CockneyRebel buried underneath all that Austin Powers and Punk stuff.

ahh...25 is a great age to discover your latent superpower I didn't get diagnosed til 37, but I'm still thrilled, better late than never!

I've been thinking lately of getting a tattoo to commemorate this great revelation and turning point in my life, will post pictures if I go through with it.

I'm really glad that you started this thread, it's very uplifting. what a great way to start my day

One of my epiphanies sort of went like, "Well f**k, it's just high school."

I'm graduating next year, and high school has been just awful. But last year I realized that, heck it's just four years. I won't be around these people forever. I need to focus on my grades! My grades used to be really low because I was too depressed too care. I'm still depressed, but I sucked it up and put more effort in my schoolwork. I got way higher grades, and that helped my self-esteem a little and my family stopped giving me so much crap. It was an important realization for me. Not really sure if it's a real epiphany, but the topic is still life-changing thoughts right?

My epiphany was earlier this year.

I realised i have always dated men who look alike not because i like the way they look but because i fell in love with someone who would never love me back because of powers outside my control. Sigh.

I am in a complicated relationship/ single and trying to reconcile relationship currently though.
