Dear Shirly,

Right now, you listen to a lot of Elvis Presley, you’re extremely curious about people, and you’re very sensitive, you want to be kinder but people are used to rudeness so they will be rude to everyone else because you know they’re rejected and neglected. You can’t force someone out of their habit, but you think you’re awesome and you think your life is okay, but not yet where you want it to be, and you’re still living at home. You know you’re stronger than who you were three years ago and you feel like you’ve come closer to who you are but you believe the best is yet to come. You are alone a lot and wish you had more genuine friends, instead of meeting superficial people. You find yourself reading a lot of good motivational books, and you enjoy writing a lot now; you would love…
