"Wake me up when September ends."
In my recollection, "Wake me up when September ends" is a song by Greenday. Though I am familiar with the melody of that specific line, I know nothing about the song or even the whole of the lyrics and what it means. Curious as I am, I searched about the lyrics of the song and what it means. I learned that it was a sad song written to tell the story of how the writer's father's death affected him. It was a song of grieving son over his father's death even after many years.
In our lives there are certain episodes that make us want to forget about the things that happened, because it caused us too much pain, disappointment, or frustrations. That dark episode that make us close our eyes fall into slumber into a world where nothing of these exist. Because who would want to undergo all these? Its tiring, draining out our emotions until we lose energy to continue life. The song "Wake me up when September ends", connotes, bringing ourselves to healing , recharging , or to rest for a while to gain enough strength and come back stronger. I also underwent those dark episodes of my life and thankfully I was able to sleep through the pain and wake up to a new day full of hope and enthusiasm.
"What does Wake Me Up When September Ends means to me?
This line hits me with a different meaning this time in a lighter and more positive way.
The end of September signifies the beginning of the last quarter of the year. Three more months and we will be welcoming a new year. But the questions I have for myself are; how is my year? Did I accomplish something? Was I able to tick off those life goals I set at the start of the year? Or have I lived my life to its fullest that even when this year end I won't have any regrets of the things I have done and did not do? All these questions just popped up on my mind like messenger that I did not open for days. It sounds urgent and needs resolve. And the end of September is like serves as the starting line.
Life Goals
Setting our goals is easy to do but accomplishing them is where it gets rough and tough. Like climbing a mountain, there is no easy way to reach the top. And there are times when we cannot even reach the top. People, certain circumstances and unexpected twists and turn in our lives may make or break the goals we set. But it is never too late to accomplish these, there is still time to revisit these goals and make them happen. If we set our focus on the goal and work hard for it will sure happen. Thinking of the last three months of these year, I know I can make it. Time is not a factor as long as we want it, we make it cause we'll exhaust our efforts to make it happen.
Pag gusto may paraan.
Life Without Regrets
Sometimes we get so busy, so caught up with adulting and the responsibilities that goes with it that we forget to appreciate and sometimes take for granted the what really mattera in life. Such questions in my mind popped up as this yearend is approaching...
Have I shown my family especially children how much I love them?
Have I visited my parents enough for them not to feel ignored and abandoned
Did I love myself enough?
Did I made the right decisions?
Did I,
Have I?
If the answers of these questions are YES then I can say I'll be welcoming the new year without regrets but if NO then I stil have time to fix it and make things work. Time wasted will never be taken back so we must make use of our time to live life to the fullest.
Wake me up when September ends for me means reevaluating my self and how I live my life so I won't have regrets in the end.

Reading your post reminded me of my goals for this year. I am surely way behind of my plans and waaa, I don’t want it to be the last quarter of the year already!
Time just pass by so fast... So much to to do with so little time... But if we reevealute and prioritize what's important, it will all be worthwhile.
Great input for the week 4 contest of Hive PH ❤️. It's great to read that for you the phrase wake me up when September ends mean reevaluating yourself, and we all need to do that. Somehow this also reminded me to do the same. Thank you :))
