• I guess that’s the thing about diamonds—they’re the most valuable things in the world, but what really makes them priceless is the people that give them to you. They may signify wealth, but they can actually mean so much more—like commitment, family, and love. And there’s nothing like a perfect diamond to remind you that you’ll never be perfect—the truth is, all you can do is try.
