Transcript

I swear it was like one day I woke up and everyone had these massive engagement looking diamond rings on their pinky finger. And the first person I saw it on was Meghan Markle, and I thought it was so weird and maybe just a one off thing. And now I'm seeing everyone do it, and I'm like, wait. Why is it kinda getting to me? Because, like, why is it kinda cool, girl?
