Wednesday I went to my friends shop in hopes of getting my hair colored. She was busy. I sat there a while and talked to her and her customer’s and my bff called and wanted to go to lunch. Since she still had a bunch of people I told her I come back later or today. After lunch I decided to go back over and see how things were. She was having lunch and had people waiting still. I sat down in her other chair and we were all laughing and carrying on.
She got the three out pretty quickly and was down to the last guy. We really started joking around and stuff she knew him pretty well. In a minute the door open and a guy with two little boys walked in. My friend went over and was talking to them and hugging them. She said they were her grandsons and her son. They sat down and she went to finish the guy she was working on.
She finished and he paid her and left. As he was walking out the door we were saying bye I turned to look behind me said bye. Her son’s like oh your not with him? I thought you were together or you were with him or something. His mom said no that’s my friend she’s just been hanging out with me today. We sat and talked and things for a while. My kids came across from school and was waiting for me and the boys were playing.
He said these are all yours? I said yeah I have one more. He said something about having three but the baby being home.
In a little bit we were in her back room area she has set up with her little grandson we were talking. She was telling me they live right here not far from here she not seen them in 2 years. I guess the wife has issues with her or something, i don’t know. Earlier when we were talking he was saying how he was the one that takes them to doctor’s, teaches them and does what they need and something about their mom. He said I guess I’m stuck with her now I got three kids with her. My friend said she messaged him did he get it? He said no she was probably on some blocked list or something and was looking in his settings and things.
I was back there talking to her he came in was joking around and things. I said something about having to get out of there and get the little one and he said wait you have another one? Guess he didn’t hear me earlier. I said yeah 4. He said dang girl you need slow down. I laughed said I was more than done wasn’t having no more. He said how old are you anyway? I looked at him he said oh you don’t want to answer that laughing. Said something about his mom, they had been laughing about how old she was and him and birthdays.
I honestly had to stop and think about it for a minute we been tossing around so many numbers and things. I said no it don’t bother me tell anyone how old I am. I said I had think about it a second but I just turned 37 in December. He said dang mom I was going to say your friends are looking awful young compared to you. She said she is young a lot yunger compared to me. I think she 48/49.
We talked a little more a customer came in. I tolder I really had to go but maybe I stop in today if she wasn’t busy she could do my hair so I didn’t look like a gray haired troll anymore. He came up said what did you say? I told him, he was saying you should do it this or that color and things. Something was said about guys and kids, I said I told you I am done. He said yeah just friends is the best way to go and friend’s with benifits. My mom said something. She was like what don’t say that you could find someone decent and something. He said hush mom I’ll take your much younger 37 year old friend here for a night out on the town. I was looking at her with my back to him. I just looked at her stunded and had no idea how she was going to respond. I just said yeah right or your funny and laughed she said something. I went to go out the door he said have fun tonight. Well not to much, don’t go popping out no more kids.
He isn’t even 30, not until July. I had already been thinking your to young kid and you have a girlfriend, wife or whatever she is at home when he first started flurting. Because he been saying things here and there since the guy left and he figured out I wasn’t with him. When he said what he did about me not being with him and stuff when I said bye and didn’t leave with him, you could tell he was surprised and been really thinking about it. He said what he did about going out, I was like got to go see you later, nice to meet you.
But on my way home it got me to thinking, maybe I shouldn’t just dismiss guys because they are younger. I am not having luck with older ones or ones my age. Not that I am interested in him. Like I said he’s nice and things, but he has someone and he is my friends son. That just seems like it be a little weird.
I text my bff and said maybe I should start talking to guys that are younger. I’m willing to date guys 7 or 8 years older, why discriminate against younger ones?
But really maybe I should consider it in the future. Not like in their 20 or something, but like maybe 35 or so and up. I always said no and then ended up with RC and honestly I was happiest with him than anyone ever I think. But then after everything that happen with him, I was like yeah this is why no more younger guys. And because to much younger they are wanting kids and to get married and things and I been there done that, done. But in their 30’s mid to late a lot probably have kids and been there done that as well. Some do have their shit together more than some in their 40’s or myself at times. I just don’t know there still just something about guys my age and younger I still just don’t know about.
So some how all that got me thinking about somethings yesterday, as I was driving to work and back since my anxiety was to bad to stay. I was thinking about past relationships and present people I have been talking to and possibly reconsidering younger guys.
I was just thinking about past relationships and guys I am talking to and also what my other friend said about the guys I date and finding better. I was thinking all the guys I have dated have been so different than eachother but it hasn’t worked out and what was common between them? It hit me, wow they all have a drug problem.
Father of the year has ended up on them. Truth be known he probably had one before and that is why his parents are the way they are with him. Who really knows. Then RC had one he hid and things ended up the way they did. Mr. Fling did them in the past, still does pot and talks about how he like to do this or that just one more time. I didn’t know he was into them like that. Another reason I haven’t been back in contact with him. Thinkig about it now more my “friend” I have had all these years has a habit that’s more than just pot. I think his gets a little out of hand sometimes. Then there is Starfish who does what he does. He is the only one out of all of them who say’s they want to get away from it and he is the only one into both sides of it.
I think of how many friends and family that are on it and ones who have lost everything because of it. I stay away from because I don’t want to be involved with it. But then end up with guys like this and a boss that’s into it. But the said thing is you would never know if you just met them on the street. I never knew until I known them awhile and they got comfortable enough with me to tell me. Or things happened and I foundout other ways. Luckily RC was the only one I got close to and things ended the way they did. But now there is Starfish and the way things are going with him.
I think about others I know of who I am not close to who are on something. Some who have lost everything because of it. They are from all classes of life, from not having a lot all the way up to being able to have what they want and not worry. What is wrong with the world today? It seems like everyone is on something. I worry about my own kids as they are getting older and going to be adults out on their own. What will happen to them? Who are they going to find to be with then if I can’t find someone now who isn’t on something to be with?
Even if they are not on something now a lot of others I know were at some point and time and pretty bad for a long time before getting clean. Like my good friend and my friend J and her husband. But all three have done really good for 10 or more years now and living normal lives. All or most the others I know who do things live normal lives really. Like I said you never lnow and if someone told you, you probably would not believe them. They are not like others I know who spend their day trying to get it sick if they don’t and things. Most of them only use it now and then. But the fact is they do it at all, they are putting their self at risk of getting busted and in trouble every time they do it. At risk of losing their kids and everything else. And when maybe that one time that they do it and all of a sudden they can’t function and live “normal” lives and they are like so many who spend their day trying to get the next fix and neglecting their kids or if they have none them theirselves living on the street or what. Selling everything they own to get what they have to have.
I don’t want to be alone it sucks, but at the sametime, I am scared to talk to people or try to meet anyone because you have no idea who is doing something and who isn’t.
