It's okay to write as many pages of nonsense as you like. It's okay to be unavailable for someone else's brand of nonsense. You don't owe anyone your soul. It's yours. Avoid the people who think otherwise. Avoid the ones who think that whatever they want from you, you owe it to them. You are no one's absolution but your own, and on the days when you don't have it in you to be your own absolution, forgive yourself and try again tomorrow. Ignore your phone sometimes. Very little of what it relays is urgent. Think hard about the things you own. Do you really need them? Do they add to your life, or just add to the distraction? Think about the answer, and act according to what you determine. Warning: no one else can answer that question for you. Always think about what you're about to do to your body. Some things can be fixed, and some can't. Be kind. To yourself always, and to others when you can.
