There’s such a fine line between “I haven't washed my hair in a few days and it's perfect" and "I haven't washed my hair in a few days and I am a disgusting garbage person"

“Why am I so sad today?” I ask myself after staring at my little handheld sadness machine and clicking all the sad little things that will definitely make me sad
