So after Ordinary Thing’s latest video, I was reminded again how much I don’t care about diamonds, and actually the whole ‘present a ring and blah blah’ thing really doesn’t sit well with me.

I get that if I were to be in love enough to want to commit the rest of my life, I would want to demonstrate that effectively, but crystals stuck to a metal ring just doesn’t do it for me.

Like, maybe ‘here’s a life changing trip for just the two of us around south east asia’ or ‘come live in Latin America with me for 2 months’ or something that feels significant… Diamonds just aren’t it. Symbolic yes, I get it.

Am I alone feeling this way?

    I mean I care about diamonds insofar as conflict diamonds and diamond mining are a scourge and I wish they would end.

    That’s about it. It’s a little piece of rock.
