"Dan sukacita yang saya rasakan tidak selalu menyenangkan. Saya bisa hidup berbeda. Ketika saya seusiamu, kakek saya membelikan saya gelang ruby. Itu terlalu besar bagi saya dan akan meluncur naik dan turun lenganku. Itu hampir sebuah kalung. Dia kemudian mengatakan kepada saya bahwa dia telah meminta perhiasan membuat cara itu. Ukurannya seharusnya menjadi simbol cintanya. Lebih banyak rubi, lebih banyak cinta. Tapi saya tidak bisa memakainya dengan nyaman. Saya tidak bisa memakainya sama sekali. Jadi, inilah inti dari semua yang saya coba katakan. JIKA saya memberikan gelang kepada Anda, sekarang, saya akan mengukur pergelangan tangan Anda dua kali"

And the joys I've felt have not always been joyous. I could have lived differently. When I was your age, my grandfather bought me a ruby bracelet. It as too big for me an would slide up and down my arm. It was almost a necklace. He later told me that he had asked the jeweler make that way. Its size was supposed to be a symbol of his love. More rubies, more love. But I could not wear it comfortably. I could not wear it at all. So here is the point of everything I have been trying to say.
