Diamonds are a girl's best friend until love introduces her to her soulmate.

That love doesn’t come easily and that relationships are supposed to be a struggle. Everything else is so hard; hopefully love is the one thing that is actually fun.

Those who refuse to play second fiddle may wind up playing no fiddle at all.
