I Cry Real Diamonds And I Hate It

hi everyone i'm agnes i have a miraculous condition that is seen only in very few people in the world when you find out what it is i'm sure you'll be very surprised and will probably wish you had it too but please wait until you hear the whole story i'm sure you're going to change your mind because as you will soon see this is in no way a precious gift bestowed on me it's definitely a curse before starting elementary school i was always at home my mom wouldn't let me go to preschool or kindergarten i really wanted to go to kindergarten because my cousin casey was going and i wanted to be just like her but no matter how much i begged her my mom wouldn't let me i rarely saw my dad because he was traveling for work all the time he was home for only a few days a month one time when he was home i asked him dad why can't i go to kindergarten like casey will you talk to mom i really want to go my dad shrugged i told your mother many times but she won't listen she says you'll go to elementary school your mother is the most stubborn person in the world i'm sorry but there's nothing i can do about it my dad was my last hope but when he also told me that i couldn't go to kindergarten i started crying my mom was making dinner in the kitchen she ran over to me when she heard me crying she grabbed my hand and took me to my room then she said agnes dear please don't cry when your father's here she always used to tell me this i was so little i couldn't think of asking my mom why do you not want me to cry when my father's around i was able to find out the reason many years later thankfully my mom kept her promise when it came time for me to start school of course she wanted me to start my education too but on the first day she told me over and over no matter what happens don't ever cry at school it's very important do you understand agnes even though i said yes mommy every time she kept telling me the same thing every day when i would come home from school she would ask honey did you cry at school in the morning as she was dropping me off she'd say no crying at school no matter what happens my mom's obsession with my crying at school continued for years when i was a little older i tried asking her why she was so concerned about it mom would say you're too young i will explain it to you when you are a little older and wouldn't say anything else back then i had a crush on a boy at school named brody i thought he also liked me because he would do all kinds of things to try to get my attention one day he was doing skateboard tricks in the school yard to impress me at the same time he was looking at me and checking to see if i was watching him all of a sudden his skateboard flew out from under his feet and he fell really badly i ran over to him right away he was in so much pain that he started crying not caring that i was standing next to him he was sobbing uncontrollably that moment i noticed that liquid was coming out of his eyes and running down his cheeks i was really surprised to see this because that's not what happens when i cry i couldn't help myself and even touched his tear with the tip of my finger brody thought i was showing him affection and started crying more easily and thanks to this i was able to take a closer look at the liquid coming out of his eyes you must be wondering why i was so surprised because when i cried instead of liquid i had small glass-like particles coming out of my eyes until then i had never seen someone crying up close that's why the liquid coming out of brody's eyes had really surprised me when i got back home my mom asked me her usual question did you cry at school i said to her no i didn't but a friend of mine did and told her about what happened there were lots of questions in my mind was it brody who cried in a strange way or was it me did other people also have liquid coming out of their eyes or did they have the small particles like me i wanted to know which one of us was normal my mom took a deep breath and she said agnes what i'm about to tell you will need to stay as our secret you can't tell this to anyone including your father she started explaining that first off that liquid is called a tear and told me that normally when people cry salt water or tears come out of their eyes but because i was a special kid i cried differently then she added there's something else that is important for you to know what comes out of your eyes is not glass it's diamonds that was the day i found out that diamonds are very valuable they're so valuable that if we sold the little diamond crumbs that come out when i cried we could buy a luxury home i couldn't believe what i was hearing so why don't we i asked my mom said because if people find out you're crying diamonds that might have really dangerous consequences what kind of dangerous consequences i asked and my mom said in a worried voice agnes bad men might kidnap you then they'd force you to cry all the time so that the diamonds come out the mafia may hold you hostage every single day of your whole life even though i was young i understood the gravity of the situation i promised my mom that i would never mention this to anyone ever this would be our secret about four years after that conversation my parents were involved in a car crash my dad did not have any serious injuries but despite the doctor's best efforts my mom didn't make it i felt like i was in a bad dream i wouldn't be able to see the most beloved person in my life anymore despite my grief i kept the promise that i had made to her not even one speck of diamond came out of my eyes at my mom's funeral i didn't cry at all people probably thought that i never cried because i was in shock but that wasn't the case the truth was that every minute i was alone i spent crying for my mom i was putting the small diamonds that come out of my eyes into a bag and hiding them in a closet in the basement the basement was the safest place in our house because nobody had used it for a long time i didn't collect the diamonds because i wanted to sell them i had to hide them because my secret would be out if someone had found them because i couldn't stay home by myself my dad had to stop traveling he got transferred to another department at work i told you earlier that my dad and i didn't have the best relationship i thought that was because we spent too little time together but it turned out that wasn't the reason now he was always home but still we never became very close four and a half months after my mom's passing my dad said to me there's someone in my life i'm thinking about marrying her i was obviously shocked but i couldn't say anything so i just nodded now i had a stepmother i was so sad that my dad had gotten married so quickly and his new wife didn't seem like a nice person and if that wasn't enough my stepmother had a daughter named nancy and she was just like her mom it didn't seem possible for me to have a relationship with them i understood that from now on i was a stranger in my own house after they got married my stepmother and her daughter moved in thankfully our house was big enough i didn't have to share a room with nancy she got her own room but little miss nancy didn't like her room my friends come over for slumber parties all the time agnes's room is bigger she should move into my room and i into hers she said my dad came to tell me this nancy is younger than you let's not upset her he said i couldn't help it and told him what i really thought of both nancy and her mom i also said to him if my mom is watching us right now i'm sure she's very upset that you've gotten married so quickly my dad's face turned red and he screamed you're switching rooms with nancy tomorrow from now on you will eat your dinner in your room i don't want to see your face for a long time that day i cried in my room for hours naturally a lot of tiny diamonds came out of my eyes they were all over the place as i was stomping on the floor with anger when i woke up in the morning i picked them up one by one and put them in small plastic bags that afternoon nancy and i switched rooms i had carefully picked up all the diamonds that had fallen around while i was crying but unfortunately i did the stupidest thing and left one of the bags under the bed when nancy found the plastic bag she took it to her mom her mom figured out right away that the bag was full of diamonds but still she wanted to make sure by showing them to a jeweler she knew when the man confirmed it my stepmother told my dad about what happened nancy came to my room and told me my dad wanted to see me i had no idea what had happened but i still felt that something wasn't quite right when i walked into the living room and saw the little bag full of diamonds i was so shocked my dad asked me agnes where did you find these i couldn't answer at first i started rambling incoherently my dad said there's a fortune in that bag i'm asking you again where did you find these diamonds i was never able to lie to anyone's face in my whole life and now i was going to tell the truth again dad they come out of my eyes when i cry i said my stepmother and nancy burst out laughing my stepmother said did you say your eyes couldn't you make up a better lie this is the worst lie i have ever heard in my life i told them it wasn't a lie but they didn't believe me my dad said agnes you're embarrassing me tell us the truth now i am telling the truth i screamed and started crying of course tiny diamonds started coming out of my eyes as i cried my dad my stepmother and nancy were staring at me astonished after witnessing this scene they were finally convinced i was telling the truth as you might guess my life completely changed after that day i went through things that you can't even imagine you won't believe the things my stepmother did to me after learning about my condition however i'll have to tell you about that in another video because we're out of time if you'd like to hear the rest of my story please let me know in the comments i'll get that second video ready in no time see you later bye you
