How Wrestling Made Me Feel Like Myself.
Warning.
Just a heads up guys I will be discussing themes, like, bullying, and, suicide, reader discretion is advised.
School Days.
My teen years is something that I like to talk about in a joking sense, but these days, were quite trying. There's a reason why I will always stand for fairness, in everything that I do in my life. My friends were bullied badly, to the of near suicide. As a wrestling fan, I would use, watching my favourite stars, as a coping strategy. Music also helped, however this wasn't always the case, because they were my friends, I was also bullied. This would come at a time, when the WWE wasn't perticually cool, so we were basically outcasts, which made us easy targets. Even though mine was mental, and not physical. I hated how I was treated, to the point, that I thought. I wish I had a gun, and what I would do with it. So one Monday after school. I went to my friends house, and I opened up about everything that was going on. I went round to my friends house to watch that years Survivor Series, the night after he had ordered it on Sky Box Office, but it turned into a cryfest, but it was important, because that event, especially the main event, saved my life. And it taught me a very valuble lesson, if you're going through something bad, to the point, that your forced to question yourself in a negative light, just remember. Like one of my childhood heroes Shawn Michaels, you can get through anything.
Big Dreams And Even Bigger Arseholes.
As I got older, my fandom reached new heights. I found the same issues would resurface, this time I was in my early thirties, and my work life was nowhere were I wanted it to be. I was taking things from people that I shouldn't, and it's only now, when I look back on things. I see it for what It really was. Bullying, and it was coming from my bosses. This started to become even more amplified, and I felt there was nothing I could do, because who was going to listen to me, a sorry weak wrestling fan. I would get home, and was able to lose myself, by watching my favourite shows. WWE NXT. AEW Dynamite, and. WWE Friday Night Smackdown, and my problems would go away, just for a few hours, and then one day I realised, these people aren't worth my time, and It was in this moment, that I decided, to turn this negative, and turn it into something positive, and become an awesome Blogger. I do this for you guys.
