I am on the verge of having another giveaway and I just had to share this story with you. Maybe this will make you want to enter to win a pair of simulated diamond earrings.
When my husband and I were dating I mentioned to him never buy me diamond earrings, and that still holds true to this day. I do not want diamond earrings. Why?
Way before I met my husband I got engaged, I was way too young. The idea of being with someone forever was far more important than being deep in love. I began to realize that this was not the life I wanted to live and ended the relationship. I gave back the ring. He began following me and calling me etc. Then one day he showed up at my job with a pair of diamond earrings. He knew I wanted a pair and here he was with them. I felt awful for him, but insulted that he would think that would fix things. I sent him on his way.
Years passed and another relationship later I became unsatisfied with where my life was headed. Once again I ended the relationship. Unfortunately it was close to the holidays, but I couldn’t fake it through Christmas. Almost, as if to punish me, he said, “I bought you diamond earrings. I guess I have to return them.” I knew then I would never own a pair of diamond earrings. The cost was more than I care to part with ever.
When the opportunity crossed my path to review a pair of simulated diamond earrings how could I have said no. I find the irony compelling. I had these relationships that I would say were definitely NOT the real thing, but REAL diamonds were available. Today I have a relationship that is more real than I ever could have imagined for myself, but the jewelry is simulated!
Now that’s life for you. A classic example of wanting something and the universe believing that there is something better for you. Something more authentic.
