Discuss an epiphany you've had in your life.
The only epiphany that comes to mind right away is one about my parents. Whenever you're a little kid, your parents could do anything, and were like superheroes. Dad could be a treehouse, Mom could summon pizza in like two seconds, it was awesome. But as I've gotten older, so have they, and so have their ways and mannerisms. I eventually get to the point that I'm sick of the sound of my Mom's voice after I've been at her house for a week. My Dad gets completely controlling and critical, even though it's mainly coming from my stepmom, after a bit too long. I guess, between the resentment of my parents' divorce and simply getting tired of the annoying things they always do, I've come to realize that my parents are just regular people. That doesn't make me love 'em any less, 'cause they're my parents, the best ones in the whole world. They're just not superheroes anymore.
