I dunno. Might be taken as very depressing advice.
Castela: “So you’re saying, this constant creeping sense of uncertainty… it never goes away?”
Phix: “You’re not listening: It will certainly go away. You will feel confident and sure of yourself at times… and those are the times when you’re wrong about something and disaster is just around the corner.”
Castela: “…Teen suicides are starting to make more sense to me.”
Phix: “Oops? The idea here was to break you of the unreasonable desire to always feel 100% confident before you do anything… or else you’d do nothing, forever.”
Castela: “Ah, and exactly How many millennia have you been hiding in this library from living your own life, Tanta Phix?”
Phix: “Don’t push it kid. Just because I’m a carnivore doesn’t mean I can’t use some roughage in my diet.”
Main point is, as Tanta Phix (wait, ‘Tanta’ and ‘Tanat’ are real words? o_O) basically said: anyone who claims different is either lying, or about to get a tap on the shoulder from Life
So true this; no matter HOW you wrap things up in your world, there’s AWAYS a loose end dangling somewhere when dealing with life. To quote an old saying; ‘I used to have a handle on life…until it broke!’ 😉
Wise advice from Tanta Phix.

Tanta Phix, font of wisdom.
When your awesome older sister is going crazy about her cup size, it helps to have a more mature aunt that can talk you down.
I miss Shelly and Monica.
Bet they may figure in helping Castela.
Rabid Kale superpowers are nice to have.

“Tanta” is slang (I think Mexican but not sure) for “Aunt”
