Separate But Equal
« on: September 13, 2011, 09:49:42 PM »
As two years come about that I been wrestling, it's been a challenge separating my wrestling life from my personal one. In my first year it wasn't bad due to the fact I was on the hunt for bookings all over and still making a name for myself. Fast forward 2011 and I'm always on the go in need of some time off lol. What a difference a year makes, I tell ya! It's getting to where Sunday is usually my only free day and I tend to just sit back and relax, might take in a movie or go out. It's whatever comes to mind really.

Most of my friends are in relationships, married, whatever. I'm happy for them and I wish them nothing but the best however I tend to shy away from their "couples outings". Whenever something is going on with my friends, I'm at a show performing or on the road headed back. It's usually just a day time thing and I'm back around 11pm or so. I know I made a good friend upset on my b-day weekend and not intentionally. He had mentioned us going out to some spot that Saturday night and I was game. A few of my wrestling colleagues surprised with a night out on the town when it was just supposed to be an early dinner. He and I only spoke once since but I can tell the distance, he isn't too happy.

I know I can't make everyone happy. I'm trying to make time for people but at the same time I take what opportunities come my way. I miss hangin' like I used to. I miss the game nights at someone's house or just kickin' back at the bar. At the same time, this is something I want. Shit makes you think at times.

I understand how you feel. I also was dealing with a friend that was going through the same situation as you, but with slightly different details. He is always busy and on the run. At first it was hard for me to adjust, but now I am thankful for him being around because he is teaching me patience. Patience is really the key. A real friend would be there no matter what, but you also have to realize that you may lose friends due to your schedule. Some people cant handle a friend thats never there. Maybe you should have invited him to the dinner after you found out though and tried to include him in the festivities. My guess is he probably feels like you put your wrestling buddies before him....
