We hype each other up a lot and tell each other they’re gonna make it and if they just work hard enough it will all fall into place but I’ve seen hundreds of people be more ready than they could ever be for an opportunity and it not amount to anything and then it ends in a mental health spiral.
I think we need to be better about teaching people how to cope with the rejection and also reminding people that whether or not your successful actually has very little to do with how much work you put in and much more to do with one person in one room that your not in’s opinion of not necessarily even YOU but of someone else could be the reason you aren’t “successful”
I’ve made it to the big stage and I’ve crashed and burn into severe depression and blown my whole life up as a result and I see so many continue to go through it especially as indie tryouts become a thing again (y’all remember 4 years ago they said they were NEVER HIRING INDIE WRESTLERS ONLY ATHLETES)
I dunno the end point of this rant but I think it’s something like you need to make peace with the idea that you may never main event wrestlemania but still be proud and happy with the fact that you even got off the couch and went to your first wrestling class because 99% of people who want to be wrestlers don’t even do that part.
