Hard to say. Unlike the movies, things dont change your life all of sudden. It is a gradual process.

this is a very subjective question. Oh that reminds me, Gucci belongs on my ignore list. BRB

It happened within the walls of my own head, so I guess it was more of a eureka moment.

Life can change in an instant. Some of the more obvious changes are: a loved one can die, you can suddenly get sick etc.
But then there are people who, for example, have an epiphany and are suddenly someone else.
On a superficial level (and I'm not sure I believe these people, but...) I've heard people say they've watched the Secret and it "changed their life". Meh, I don't buy it, but whatever floats the boat, know what I mean?

But does it change your life so that you are different person, different life, different everything.
Close thing to it is, one day i decided to move, packed up everything threw in to storage or threw out. Wrote a letter to landlord. Went to airport that night and left.

- This is probably true for me. Not sure I would have been as interested or as knowledgeable about design otherwise.Jaline
- Sad. A website was a life changing experience? WTF.dMullins
- It's a community. Also because I haven't had any "real" or socially acceptable "life-changing" experiences.Jaline
- I don't see a huge difference between saying this and saying what ukit said below about getting into design.Jaline
- Of course, this doesn't compare to anything most people have posted in this thread.Jaline

Heroic dose of hallucinogenic mushrooms in 1991, thought I had died, ended up in a white room with everyone I loved and had to explain to them all what life and death was about, how much I loved them and why it was alright to die. After the giant voice counted down the time I had left, I flew above the ground, into a hospital emergency room where I realised I couldn't alert anyone to my mortal peril as I had no body, at which point I rose above the planet to see it hanging in space and say goodbye, after which I spent subjectively several months away. After this time, during which I came to terms with the fact that my earth-life was over, I 'reanimated' into the body I had, and only about 1 hour had passed.
I greeted my friends with the joy suitable for such a magnificent occaision and for years they laughed at my 'I'm alive! I'm alive!" moments, lol..- I think you just had a bad trip.JSK
- that would be a very brief desription of it, yes.mikotondria3

in a more normal way, I suppose I've had three life-changing experiences in the past year, going from Michigan to NYC to West Virginia, and now Portland, OR. Last one has happened very quickly... here in WV one minute, and suddenly everything changed and in a few days my wife and I will have totally different lives. I'm still going to be the same, but she will be changing careers...everything...and currently has no job. Guess it's more of a life-changing experience for her...

Two things that really stand out in my life are getting shot in the eye with a pellet gun when I was 13. And my niece passing away when she was 2. Up this point, those are the biggest life-changing events for me.
- Edit: Up *to* this...JackRyan
- oh my god, i am so sorry to hear about your niece. i couldn't handle that.longtongued_liar
