"Swallowing the Diamond"
It’s all a gamble when you think about words "I Do," She said swallowing the diamond The truth arrives one way or another neat or untidy out the other end (LadyLabyrinth / 2020) gvlm
"Hot Damn" / Ivy Levan https://youtu.be/FLNvVq3K_FQ
"If any female feels she needs anything beyond herself to legitimate and validate her existence, she is already giving away her power to be self-defining, her agency." "Of course I am not worried about intimidating men. The type of man who will be intimidated by me is exactly the type of man I have no interest in." "Loving does not at first mean merging, surrendering, and uniting with another person ... Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest people infinite distance exists, a marvelous living side-by-side can grow up for them, if they succeed in loving the expanse between them, which gives them the possibility of seeing each other as a whole before an immense sky." "Don't settle for a relationship that won't let you be yourself." "The trouble with some women is that they get all excited about nothing — and then marry him." "So I began to think maybe it was true that when you were married and had children it was like being brainwashed, and afterward you went about as numb as a slave in a totalitarian state." "It's important to marry somebody who is your equal and to be with somebody who wants you to win as much as you want them to win." Response: "Marriage is a fine institution, but I'm not ready for an institution."

True. Unless you're from Stepford.

There is more to it than just a symbol to show your love, trust, honestly and commitment to one another. Be humble, be truthful, just be
