Random thought for the day.. what is worse - failing to achieve a dream, or getting close to that dream and realizing that the reality is nothing like what what you thought it was going to be?
That's a bit facetious of me. I can't really claim that being a professional wrestler was a life-long dream of mine. Or really even any sort of a long-term ambition. Like so many kids in Canada (and America), I grew up watching professional wrestling. As a kid, it was SWF - there was simply nothing else out there. As a teenager, it was SWF and HGC engaging in their heralded Tuesday Night Wars. But as cool as I always saw it, the thought was never truly "I want to do that". It was always moreso a "that would be cool" line of thinking. It was really the same way I looked at any number of potential careers - sports journalist, adventuring paleontologist, porn star, bio-chemist... I really only started to pursue this barely a year ago, when I realized that a career as a sports writing hack would always be there later.
So now I've made it. I'm a fully contracted employee of Supreme Wrestling Federation. Hired as a wrestler and contracted as a wrestler. But I'm not wrestling. The problem is that I'm the only one who has a problem with it.
How can you make someone else understand your own personal despair? This really should be one of those "sit back and enjoy the ride" situations. But I'm not enjoying it. It doesn't seem that fun. Really, what it is really starting to feel like is work. Is this what "living your dream" is supposed to be?
