Dear Aiyana Henderson:

You definitely have the skill and talent for writing in an original and intriguing way.

But even the greatest writer in the world needs to brush her teeth and promote her health. You can make a list (if you haven’t so far) of things to do every day, starting in the morning, and literally carry that list with you and cross out item by item.

Regarding setting boundaries with others, you can put together a list of behavioral guidelines with others, rules of sorts, specific so that it will be easier to follow them, then read the list each morning, and review later in the day, or evening.

You wrote: “you have to watch out for vultures in society. Everyone claims they care about you”- who are the vultures, and who is everyone?
