I'm thinking about the haircut I want to get. My hair is so damn finicky, always wants to get massive cowlicks regardless of the length and regardless of the products used in an attempt to tame said cowlicks. I always feel a tinge of regret when I get it short because the back looks awkward, and doesn't stay flat. That being said, I hate how the back looks when it is long too - it's very thick and almost bulbous. I want to shave the lot but it would look bad too. -_-
I'm also thinking about what others think of my relationship with one of the girls I support. I worry that people are going to think it's fishy. She's been going through a hard time, so I've been hanging out in her room with her a lot. ALWAYS with the door open. And lately, I've been trying to mitigate her running away by taking her out for a walk and to get some tea at a nearby establishment. I feel like she needs to get out of her room and out of her head. So we go, get a tea, and just shoot the breeze for an hour or so. But coworkers have been commenting that we're out for a long time. Being a guy, it makes me worry that I could be accused of sexual exploitation somewhere along the line, especially when I am driving and will be taking this girl places in my car.
I feel really sorry for her, honestly. She reminds me so much of myself when I was a teenager....her appearance, her emotional challenges, her vulnerability, her frustrations. I know how hard it is. That's why I'm trying to be there for her. I want her to learn how to be independent and how to handle the hardships she faces in healthy ways. AKA rather than running for the nearest bus station planning to book it out of the city (I've done that too, incidentally), sit and have a nice cup of tea and talk with someone you trust.
