WORLD OF RAWR

2019 was quite a time for growing and learning in a lot of ways. I did a lot of traveling and not as much wrestling as I would have liked except for right around the holidays. In particular, I got the chance to meet with some people I honestly was NOT expecting to in the most random places and times.

For those, I am thankful. In particular, I felt ... growth? It's one thing for you to be out and trying to get the matches you can as they come and all of the things that go along with that, but there's also something to be said about actually getting better at everything.

After meeting up with the people I've met up with this year, I come into 2020 feeling a bit stronger and having that strength recognized by, frankly, the last people I would have expected it from. It was a happy, but solemn moment. This year, I want to lean into that in all the ways I can and see what comes of it. I'll start with a regular walking habit and see how it evolves.

Also? I have always believed myself a more playful person on [insert wrestling platform] here and have said as much on my profile. One of the people I met up with this year initially didn't know if we'd be a good match up because of that descriptor, but then upon meeting had a change of heart. It was interesting for both of us and we talked about it for a bit.

Although I don't think about it much, I try to match my opponent's energy and give what I can to the match. Does that make me competitive? I don't know. Not to the degree that some might be, but maybe moreso than even I would give myself credit for. Someone once said to me that the warrior spirit is developed little by little with every action and thought if we're open to it and maybe that's what nearly 6 years and 43 matches have done. Who knows?

Maybe I should update my profile but then that means some of you will expect more from me and I am honestly just wrestling for the cookies and ice cream you'll feed me after I win. :P

Here's to hoping I meet more of you and more matches and fun for all of you everywhere. Here's also to hoping I somehow wind up near Bowling Green, KY or something.
