had a little projecting moment today, so i do get anxious about school. even if good things happen at school, i just HATE the environment of it. i truly hate talking about school (or anything academic related) but here i am lmao, what if peter would be somewhat like me, difference is that he has a reputation to uphold? perfect grades, burnt out student, total genius. it just drives him insane and his two boyfriends have had enough of it. (talking about college student!peter)
"this isn't you peter. this isn't the little boy we love, what have you become?"
"peter, let others have a chance to answer, dear boy. this isn't a competition."
"that's it mister, you're either going to live a life or drown yourself in self sabotaging yourself."
"these studies of mine... are my life! you don't understand, it's what i do for a living!"
*nervous laugh* peter’s last reply is exactly how i think too😭😭✌🏻✌🏻
Stephen and Tony better rally around him and support him!! What helped me is for someone to help me maintain a balance: keep studying but finding time to do other things that make me happy. Plus, slowly but surely help make an identity and selfworth that doesn’t develop only on academic success🥺🥺💗💗
