it's okay to allow yourself mobility aids even if you don't formally need one! it might be a nice thing to have around just in case of a bad day. i had a friend who used a cane to get to class to class bc our campus is definitely on an incline and there's lots of uneven sidewalks.

I’ve learned to really assert yourself with what you need! I always been shy and had a hard time with downplaying my needs, therefore others would downplay them. But at the end of the day, it’s about making life more manageable and enjoyable for you, so don’t be afraid to use your voice and state your needs! Whatever helps you! :)
