I came to 14th anniversary from my debut in few days ago. Congratulations? Thank you!
I thought I would quit in multiple times. The time I had most serious consideration might be in 3rd years of junior high school.
The adults who were thinking about it somehow do not say it in words, but I think they taught me that wrestling is fun in various ways. Maybe I just feel like it.
In those days, of course, it was fun when I had a match. But that was only fun. It was a time when I completely lost sight of my goals and the future.
At that time, I had the opportunity to sit down and talk to Ms.Sakura about the future. She talked a lot about my future. What do you want to do? Why not work hard in this way? etc. So I decided to work hard with Ms.Sakura once again. (At that time I was vaguely thinking. Now I think back, I think I was probably thinking this in my head.)
If I did quit at that point, I think I would go to a certain high school then got employed normally and worked there. I might think about Pro-wrestling that I would say “Ah, there was something I did somehow.”
I didn’t quit, then I can have so much fun and feel so happy now. And each one of you still has supported me.
I’m glad I’ve to keep Pro-wrestling! Thank you for finding me!
