I'm pretty sure by now that nothing can get me to actually follow professional wrestling at any level or in any organization -- it's too time consuming and I got other things to nerd about -- but if I did, it'd be Mizuki that caused it. Random thoughts.

Stop worrying about the numbers. Trust me, at 55 you'll still feel like a confused 20 year old, it'll just hurt more. Okay wait I was going for uplifting. Uh, it's not actually required to turn spiteful and sour with age, so try and avoid doing that
