Is it normal to really, really want to be hardcore?
Ever since I was young I've had a burning desire to be hardcore. It's become my #1 life goal, you may say, and I think about it constantly. My family has a long history of it; my father was hardcore and his father even more so. But unfortunately some other relatives of mine aren't so keen on my aspirations; my mother is absolutely opposed to it, and has persuaded my Aunt Rosa (who was actually known to be fairly hardcore in her younger years) to discourage me at every opportunity. But I simply can't allow them to get in my way. Whatever happens, I know I MUST become hardcore somehow. But as of now I'm having no luck whatsoever, and I have to deal with the constant humiliation from the other guys as being only softcore; mediumcore at best.
So, any advice? I wonder if there are any guys or gals here that can give me some pointers from firsthand experience on how to be hardcore.
