I just was on facebook and felt absolutely compelled to write this. On the sidebar where the advertisements and I saw this engagement ring site saying how their design of rings infuse both classical and contemporary styles. The art kid in me had to check it out. Seriously, if you think I went for any other reason, you do not know me well enough.
Anyways, the rings I saw on there disgusted me. They pissed me the fuck off! Every single ring I saw was absolutely encrusted with diamonds. Fucking nice ones at that. Encrusted probably isn't the right word. There were like, a gazillion diamonds on one ring. Every ring like that. See for yourself.
Now, normally engagement rings and wedding rings don't upset me that much. Symbol of love blah blah blah. But whoa now homies. It's officially gone too far. I feel extremely stressed out thinking about the thought of even getting a ring (if that ever happens for me) close to that. I would feel shame.
Shame. Guilt. Not proud that my man loves me so much he'd get me something so... shiny and expensive as those rings.
I much rather something small, sweet, thoughtful, and similar to my character then a gob of diamonds. I would feel so awful! Why should a guy buy something like that to convince a girl of his love?! I never want that.
What I want is my guy to pay off student loans, save money for a house, create some financial stability!!!! instead of spending all that money and going into debt for a wad of nothing special. Who am I to ask for a frivolous hunk of metal and rock that symbolizes love that I shouldn't need the reminder of in the first place.
A reminder of love cannot be bought. It's seen every day when in love.
What is wrong with people these days!?
