[ Peter doesn't look nearly as energetic today and it's way earlier than he's usually seen as it's probably not much of a secret that he sleeps late. Really late. ]

Hey everyone-so I have a quick little PSA for you all and then I'm gonna go back to trying ta sleep I guess. Maybe it'll work out better. Um... anyways uh... I tried not to let it get to me buuuuut it did. So yeah-

Don't ever, ever say that what someone went through doesn't matter. It just makes you look like a jerk. It doesn't matter if you know what they've gone through or not-don't say it.

It does matter to them and you have no idea why or how much it mattered. So yeah, just don't say it.

that's all I have. I'm going to bed. 'Night.

..We don't actually have one of those on board, do we?

Never mind. Get some sleep. Hopefully tomorrow looks a little better.

I... understand the hesitance toward therapy. It's hard finding someone who can "get" you.. especially if you've been through some weird shit. But even just having a sounding wall to help untangle things is nice.

I've heard good things about meditation? I never had time for it myself but I've seen people be changed by it... though whether that was under some influence of substance I don't know. I never really asked. But even if not, taking some quiet time to yourself isn't a bad idea? Can you get a journal? that might help.

It's not so much that it's weird it's more that it's upsetting and I know I'll get upset talking about it so I'd rather not. Kinda like avoidance I guess which isn't the best way to deal with things but it's um...

It's like if people don't know what happened then I can pretend it didn't happen. Some of it, anyway.
