There is absolutely no question about this one…..childhood. This is the phase in my life that I have had a hard time letting go of. More specifically, I miss the days when I lived with mom. I feel that life was so much easier back then. Now that I’m 35 years old, I look back at the way things used to be and while they weren’t bad, I feel like I could have been a better son. I had a habit of getting into trouble a lot in my childhood and there are things that I didn’t realize back then that I realize now. The most crucial of these realizations are that I should have appreciated what I had while it was available to me. I suppose I may not have had the knowledge that one day it would be significantly reduced. I wouldn’t see mom every day or have people around all the time ETC. These are things that I used to take advantage of which was shown through my overall behavior. I used to get so mad when mom used to suspend my Wrestling privileges for bad behavior, (which she thought was linked to the show,) and I would spend the better part of my night thinking I was missing out on something that was crucial to live. I failed to see that it was just a show and that there were more important things that I could have lost.

The ironic part of this is that fast forward about 15 to 20 years later and Wrestling is just a show. One that I hardly care about anymore. I don’t follow it weekly anymore nor do I know anybody on the roster. I’m more into movies now. I still watch the old classic events on Netflix but the current Wrestling is something that just doesn’t click anymore.

I really wish I could have seen this when I was a child. Wrestling was just a show. I failed to see that life wasn’t just limited to what was on tv.
