I then later began wanting my mother to buy me multiple shirts and accessories this color all the time. I also later found out that aquamarine was my birthstone for March. When I found that out I really started to go crazy and enjoy the color more than ever. It almost became an obsession. In addition, when I use to see pictures from international beaches across the world with their clear, “aquamarine” water it just continued to feed my obsession with this color. This obsession led to a lot of my other personal likings throughout my life still to this day. My favorite basketball team became the New Orleans Hornets because there aquamarine uniforms, My little league basketball team jerseys were this color, and even my braces rubber bands were almost this color.
