New Years Eve (2017) will be the only day when every adult was born in the 1900s, and every minor was born in the 2000s.

“Brown eyes are so plain and ugly you can’t even compare them to gems like emerald and saph-”

Stop.

Carnelian

Cairngorm

Cassiterite

Smoky Quartz

Zircon (brown)

Citrine

Diaspore

Dravite

That’s not even all of GORGEOUS BROWN GEMS THAT EXIST IN THIS WORLD. Just like there are a lot of beautiful brown gems they’re a lot of BEAUTIFUL BROWN EYES. BROWN IS A GORGEOUS COLOR. Start treating it like one.
