My birthday is this month, and as much as I try, I have never been totally happy about the fact that my birthday is in February. It's so inconsistent with my personality: it's in the middle of the winter (I am a spring/summer person), it's the month of Valentine's Day (totally not my holiday), and it is represented by one of my least favorite gemstones: the amethyst. (I mean, could we trade with April's diamond? Or even September's sapphire?)
But as much as I'd like to move February between May and June, celebrate Memorial Day instead of another Valentine's, and don a sparkly white diamond or two every now and then, I'll always consider giving my month another chance. Because if its amethyst can look as good as it does in the purple items above, I think we could continue to hang. At least for now. (Watch out, June and July. I'm eyeballing you.)
