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.
