An epiphany is when you have a sudden realization about something directly or indirectly related to you and the way you live your life. Epiphanies are rare moments of true realization, and so when you have one, you want the world to know.

Redditor Bulky_Gear3750 dedicated an entire thread on Reddit to women who had an epiphany that they wanted to share with other women. Naturally, this thread garnered over 750 comments, mostly from women who either had some sort of self-realization or learned a bitter life lesson they desperately needed in order to live a more purposeful life.

That's the thing with epiphanies is that they help reshape our lives. One day you're doing something you absolutely love, the next minute something happens that completely changes things in your life.

Suddenly, things you love doing become something you just enjoy occasionally. Many people have had epiphanies and those close to them often note an enormous difference in the person's character and personality.

This sudden change can confuse people, but the one thing that remains constant is that epiphanies make us better humans. So, if another person has had an epiphany, the only way to make the world a better place is to share that with others.

Redditor Bulky_Gear3750 asked women to share something they believe more women should know, and the responses blew their minds.

Being single's great.

bodysnatcherz is right though. It's best to deal with your own headache than having to deal with yours and your toxic partner's headache.

Women aren't your enemy.

The only way to divide and conquer is by introducing competition and all that crap.

Quotes of wisdom.

OllieOllieOxenfry is 100% correct. This quote rearranged my brain.

You're in control.

Yes, 100%. Nothing's written in stone, everything is up to you.

NO is a powerful word.

This is gold. The word "No" is a complete sentence that needs no further explanation.

Misogyny exists.

This is also true. Mind-blowing, actually.

It's your choice.

Having or not having children is your own choice. Don't ever be obliged because society thinks that's the way it should be.

Defend yourself first.

croptopweather is right. You're not the bad guy when you get out of a nasty situation someone put you in.

You're perfect.

You don't have to do things to fit in. You're fine just the way you are.

This is eye-opening.

Exactly why does a fish need a bicycle? Or does it? Nope, they're fine on their own too.

I'm 30 and I agree!

Umm... okay.

Boundaries are healthy.

dianacakes is right, y'all.

Pure gold.

No_Lab_5553, pure gold.

Nailed it.

Do what you like.

Yes, just because someone wants you to do something, don't do it. Do things you want to do.

Love yourself first, that's important.

Respect your wishes.

This is eye-opening, and I think more and more people need to read this.

You're unstoppable.

These are some powerful words, kentuckemily. Gave me goosebumps.

Self-care is important.

Self care is a lot more than shopping, bubble baths, spas, and drinks. It's more about inner healing than outer appearance.

It's easy to get carried away by the stream that runs from the core of a toxic society; a stream that drains our happiness and self-worth.

It's time to take back control, so we can live a more purposeful life.
