Or any other number of mental health situations! Like, everyone deserves love.
This is one of the main reasons I scoff at ppl when they say, "you have to love yourself before ppl can love you." While I appreciate what they are trying to say, please think about how that sounds to someone in a major depressive episode.

Don’t normally care for the alternate uni stuff but they were wearing the teal ones today and in my opinion these are good as hell
