Fics like just because i’m smiling doesn’t mean that i am smiling for myself

He didn’t have any physical symptoms - no fever or stomach pain, only a small headache at best. Whenever it was days like these, it was simply his brain trying to fill him with a sense of inadequacy. Comparing him to Lee and Michael, who he could never live up to because he wasn’t good enough. To all his siblings who died in the Titan War, who he couldn’t save because he wasn’t good enough. And even now to his boyfriend, who had more strength and power than Will could ever imagine having, because he wasn’t good enough. He’d never tell Nico about these thoughts, though. They were nothing to worry him about. (Also because there was a small part of him that was terrified that Nico would agree.) Or: Will feels inadequate in almost every aspect of his life (retitled 8/23/23 from ‘Soda Bottle’ (: )
