Diamonds & Despair
The shine of a diamond is luring. It promises unwavering strength, yet within its core lies a darkness, a void. Diamonds are extracted from the earth's essence, born of pressure and pain.

Perhaps, in the end, diamonds are not a measure of love, but a embodiment of human suffering.
