i am amazed that you typed all that on such a tiny keyboard
[And for a while that's the only reply Ben gets, just because Peter has to stop everything he's doing and read all of this. Several times. There's a lot to take in and process, even if what Ben said was just super simple common sense stuff. And Ben's absolutely right, Peter's uncle (also a dead Ben. So many dead Bens) definitely wouldn't want Peter wearing himself down like this and kicking his own ass the way he has been, or aggressively blaming himself for every little thing that goes wrong. Peter knows this. Hearing things from the point of view of someone like Ben, who knows what it's like to be on the other side, does help to put things into perspective.]
Okay, this might read weird, and I promise that I am 100% not trying to hit on you, but I think you might be one of the best things that's happened to me since I got here. I think I really needed this. I'm not really sure where to start like, giving myself a break? But maybe realizing that it's okay to is a good step 1. Thanks, Ben.
And just for the record, yes, we are absolutely friends.
