It's All About The Game

Moment 4 Life

I honestly have no words for how absolutely phenomenal this weekend was except that it was the best weekend of my life. A few weeks back when I found out that I wasn’t able to go to MITB I was gutted, but now I realize that if I had gone to that then I wouldn’t have been able to go to SummerSlam. It was so refreshing to be around so many people that share the same passion as I do for wrestling. Granted it’s a bit different since I’m going to start training in a few months, but still - they love it; I love it; it’s all good.

I haven’t really told too many people, but when I was on vacation with my family it was decided that I would be moving to Tampa in January. Well that has changed again…I WILL NOW BE MOVING IN A MONTH and I couldn’t be more stoked about it. I’m so ready to get out of Louisiana and get on the path to my career! I officially dropped out of school on Monday right before Raw, which sounds really bad, but in hindsight I should have realized that going to school, working, and eventually going to train wouldn’t all pan out. When I do something I have to commit fully, and if I was trying to get ready to train while going to school my whole heart would not be in either one of them, thus producing mediocre results. I don’t halfass things, I think I’ve made that perfectly clear. As happy and sure as I am about this decision, it does not come without its consequences. My mom is trying as hard as she can to support me, but I know she’s really struggling. That’s just about school, though. When I told her about school she stormed out of the room crying. I didn’t really expect anything different, but I’m praying she’ll come around. AND I have been cut off by my grandmother. If you knew Grammy this wouldn’t be shocking at all, but it’s still extremely hurtful. As a very loyal person I believe in supporting your loved ones’ decisions even if you don’t necessarily agree (as long as it’s not harmful to their wellbeing). But as I told my mom earlier in regards to my grandmother, I don’t want anything from somebody who would be that low when I’m just doing what I believe is best for myself.

I know that if I don’t move now I may never do it. I couldn’t live with myself if I didn’t give it a shot. And I’m not too proud to come back admitting that my mom was right and it was too hard, but I refuse to do that until I’ve experienced it and I know.

Anyway, I’m very happy with my decision. My future roomie MJ and I have been searching for apartments online and we’ve found some that we really like. I’m not sure when we’re headed down to Tampa to check them out, but it’s gotta be soon since we’re moving in exactly a month! I wasn’t sure if I’d be in good enough shape yet, but I know if I work my ass off for the next four and a half months I will be ready to start in January. I want it so bad and I’m so ready to start this adventure. I actually start to cry sometimes when I think about it - that’s how happy I am. Life is finally going how I’ve always wanted it to and I believe that there’s a rhyme and a reason for everything. I know it’s not going to be easy at times, but nothing worth having ever is.
