Advice for people in their 20s from someone who’s just entered their 30s….
1. Don’t waste time being fearful: go for that job that you’re certain you’re not gonna get. What’s the worse that can happen? You are rejected, but you gain interview experience. Self-doubt is really a waste of time.
2. Live in the present. Yes, it is important to plan for the future, but it is easy to put off living until it is too late. Make sure that you have no regrets about what you should have done. Do one exciting thing per year.
3. Know your worth. This applies to both work and relationships; never sell yourself short. No job or romance is more important than your self respect. Also, charge for any unique skills/services that you can offer.
4. Don’t be afraid to leave bad situations. I left a stable but draining teaching job in order to protect my mental health. Even though this was a big risk, it was the best decision I ever made. NOTHING is more important than your mental health.
5. Most 20 somethings feel that they are underachieving. This is normal - especially in today’s financial climate. Don’t feel bad if you are still living at home and cannot afford to rent/buy. I’m 30 and still living at home, saving to buy.
6. People will disappoint you, but most of the time, it’s not about you. Everybody has their own demons and traumas that make them behave in certain ways. If somebody disrespects you, assert your boundaries and keep it moving. Also, examine if there was anything you could have done to avoid the situation. But DO NOT let it eat away at you.
7. In love, nobody owes you anything. Even if they made a promise, they are their own person…Everybody has the right to change their mind and to leave a situation which is not beneficial for them. This is hurtful and hard to accept, but it is the truth.
8. Learn to enjoy your own company. Your 20s can be a lonely time as your social sphere narrows, due to employment, finances and exhaustion. Use this time to find out more about yourself and do the things that you enjoy. There is something liberating about eating at a restaurant alone.
9. Be kind, don’t gossip or overshare. I am still working on this one. It is really difficult to be kind and positive in a world full of annoying people. However, your attitude will influence how you are being perceived. If you are unkind, people will laugh at your jokes but they will never trust you. They will never trust you not to treat them as you treat other people. Remove yourself from toxic people, and only share negativity (sadness/anger/depression) with a therapist and one other person that you trust. If you overshare negative feelings, you may be stereotyped as being full of drama. Furthermore, people will want you to stay in a negative place because it’s entertaining and makes them feel better about their own lives. Just don’t do it.
10. You cannot win every battle. Within conflict, it is tempting to try to force others to agree with your perspective. However, most people are set in their ways, and find it difficult to change their views and behaviours. This is especially important when dealing with toxic family members. You may never get the apology and empathy that you seek, so it is important to accept that every battle cannot be won, and gain validation internally, rather than externally.

HEY THERE BUDDY CHUM PAL! it’s me,back at it again with some theories about the S8 trailer :D
In short: Pidge will come incredibly close to death.
In depth:
So here are two screencaps that have many people (such as myself) screaming.
I think it’s safe to say that there will be a battle in the Astral Plane. But there’s an obvious difference. Lance is fighting something and has the trademark Astral Plane background with him, but Pidge is simply floating with a pitch black background. Furthermore, Lance is stable while Pidge appears to be glitching in some way. Can anyone recall what Zarkon said the first time we saw the Astral Plane?
Zarkon stated that if you die in the Astral Plane, you will cease to exist. Now take account for everything happening in these pictures.
- Their fighting something
- Based on Lance’s pic, their struggling
- Pidge isn’t battling
- Pidge is suspended in a void
- She is in pain
- She is glitching
I don’t know what it’s like to suddenly cease to exist, but its probably a painful experience. And why would Pidge be glitching? Take note that she is slightly transparent, meaning that could be Pidge’s spirit. Mortal bodies can’t enter the Astral Plane, only someone’s spirit.
Pidge was sent to the Astral Plane to fight. Something went wrong and she begins to ”stop existing”. This would explain her pained position, the fact that she’s alone, why she is in a void, and most importantly the glitch. I think that in order to make her vanish, the universe had to basically pick her apart, similar to what happens during teleportation, but this time your particles don’t go back together. And it has to be EXCRUCIATING to suddenly be pulled apart.
But would it be smart to kill off an important character in the last season? Nope.
This is all just theory, but still. These screencaps really get me thinking.
Okay, so this scene:
shows more than the usual 5 or 6 Paladins. It looks like there’s 8:
@starbluesss mentioned that the other people are probably Trigel, Blaytz, and Gyrgan, and I agree with that too. Which means the old and new Paladins are going to meet and talk to one another.
We also see this scene that also has the same original three Paladins being attacked by Honerva:
So far, we’ve only heard about what happened to the old Paladins from Coran. Like Romelle, Coran may be only telling one side of the story (though not necessarily intentionally or maliciously).
My guess is the above scene is a flashback from the old Paladins’ perspective that they share with the new Paladins. This perspective sheds new light on Honerva’s motivations, and perhaps explains what really happened in a way that Coran couldn’t at the end of S3.
