please make sure that wherever you’re at in life, you don’t treat it like a transitory period. don’t waste your college years wishing to already be graduated & have a job. don’t waste your single years wishing for someone to be in love with. if/when those things come, they will come in due time and they will be good. but there is nothing like looking back and feeling empty because you wasted literal years ignoring what you had because you were hoping for something better. while it’s important to better yourself and reach for your goals, don’t neglect the present because that’s where you are now and it’s your now that determines your future.
[Start description: Five color panels showing the scene between Barry and Taako on the Starblaster deck after the voidfishing. In the first panel Barry is clutching Taako’s robes. Barry is a pale skinned human with dark hair and glasses. There are tears in his eyes and he’s staring intently at Taako, a brown skinned elf with long brown hair, who is looking at Barry with wide, confused eyes. Taako’s hand is just beginning to glow as if he’s about to cast a spell.
In the second panel, Taako has cast the spell and pink smoke has swirled out and caused a dark explosion.
In the third panel, Barry is falling, his glasses flung off and broken. Barry has a small, relieved smile as he looks up.
The fourth panel shows Taako surrounded by pink static. He’s looking around with a confused, wide eyed expression and his hands slightly raised.
The final panel shows Taako, smaller and further away, now almost obscured by static that now looks blue and lavender. He’s looking to the side, still seeming lost and confused. End description.]
