Saving yourself for marriage, or at least consent. Only wearing Yohji Yamamoto and Maison Margiela, second hand fur coats in winter. Casio F91W. Never reads, better use of time to have audiobooks on 24/7. Unread bible permanently on display for the hoes you refuse to bring over.

It's making your personality revolve around a single specific hobby because actually forming a personality is hard.

this

or this:

>An Academy trained harpist, ‘Helene’ born Maria Mikhailova moved to France with her brother in 1890 after her father was jailed by Tsarist authorities. Initially working as a street musician and living in a garret with several other young Russian emigrés, Mikhailova was procured by a Parisian madam at the age of 16. Her musical talent and passably upper class dress and speech made her popular with wealthier Frenchmen. Her journals, written in a crisp, lyrical Russian were translated into French in 1985 and into English in 2004. They describe a rich but deeply melancholy inner life shot through with grand chateau balls and liaisons in plush, private railway carriages. The marginalia was replete with unfinished musical composition and poetry. Her last entry was a brief suicide note
