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?

Diamond is kind of a boring gem anyway imo, I’d prefer something with more colour
Like opals, those are way better
