OctObeR...

 Every month has it's own distinguishing figure some have May some have June I on the other hand have October. I'm that kind of a person who holds on to something so much that trust me it becomes quite exhausting doing it. I cling to a thing be it anything that I seem to forget that maybe just maybe it does not have a significance at all. Like I said before- to each his own. In my case its "October". I guess since it's my birth month I find it more appealing than all the other months I know how arrogant on my part...can't help it admit it as you're reading this blog you are probably thinking that your month is way more superior than all the other months too. :) 
  Getting back on track, what I am trying to say is that I feel like a new breathe of fresh air has come back into me with the coming of October- like I'm being born once again. In this month that carries both the signs of the "scale" and the "scorpion" I must say I'm leaning more towards on the scale side being a Libran as I am. October, is that month where I get to experience that bliss of happiness knowing that its the month I celebrate my birth but most of all it celebrates the birth of my mom! My mom you see kind folks is a blessing that came into my life that I can never seem to lose thanks of. I admit I ain't no believer in the whole crap about destiny and fate and that people are placed according to their past lives- but if I do just for a second am such a person I am very grateful to God for placing me here in this place for maybe in my past I must have done some really good deed to have been born from my mother's womb. A Libran just like her.So why again such ample joy on my part for October? the answer lies in this simple fact that I was born in the month that my mother was born. To know that in all this sadness and angst that I have in me for losing her I will always know that on this month I don't have to be sad for I celebrate the day she came to this earth. I rejoice knowing that every time this month comes I know she gets to be born again. In death she may lie but in the coming of this month as the leaves begin to turn colour and shed my mother rises again in the day of her birth.
  So I guess what I'm trying to say, is that please don't disown a month or a date that is important to you. Remember it always and hold it to grandeur for you may never know one day all this will fade and every thing collapses but what shall remain is that particular date that you hold dear be it your birthday or birth month never take it for granted for with anticipation comes hope and with hope comes serenity. I find my serenity in October. Being an "October child" as I am I guess I am a little bias and maybe have uplifted it to too grand a pillar but so be it for this month too shall fade like summer and very soon all warm thoughts shall turn to frost...for if autumn comes winter is never far behind.

Hey October child, first of all, belated birth day wishes to you; hope you had a good one :) Secondly, I'm sorry to hear about your mother, (always hard to lose someone close and dear) and thirdly I enjoy reading all your post and this one as well. By the way have you ever tried to Google which celeb have the same birth date and month as yours  I do it all the time and I find it fun to compare my character to the person in the limelight ..
