Think

This might be the greatest epiphany I've ever had. I've never thought about life in this way, and I think if people followed these words, there truly would be no more ignorance. But anyways, I'm not going to sit here and rant about how much I think this is true.

In your description, the same words are written in plain writing. It is nowhere near as effective as when you put the exact same words in a colour picture. I give you so much credit for being able to bring this message out in the best way it can be presented, for giving it so much more impact using only a simple technique.

The colours are absolutely perfect for conveying the feeling and meaning of the words. Black for absolute seriousness, and brownish scratchy effect (whatever you call it...) for bitter truth.
I like the varying sizes of text so that it all fits in one rectangle of text. I think text alignment was important for this because it shows the boldness of the black and the text at the same time.

Overall, I don't have very much to say about this that I haven't already said, because I can just summarize it in a few words: this is worthy of great epiphanies.

Wonderfully well done!!
