Wake Me Up When September Ends

Songs that represented feelings. Entire months or stages of your life. This song will always touch me deeply and bring me back instantly to how I felt when I watched the music video, sobbing about my pre-teen heartbreak because 1) I was twelve and it was really sad and 2) because I didn't really understand that it was a protest video because I didn't really get war yet. So I still cry when I watch this video because the young love and the fact that he goes off to war both really get to me.
I feel things really strongly. My emotions, other people's emotions, it doesn't matter. Often times what I feel is misplaced, though. It takes me a while to process things, and I often use humor as a very effective defense mechanism. While I do believe that humor can be found in any situation, if I'm laughing while I would probably be better off crying, it means I'm hurting pretty bad.
I also feel a lot of righteous indignation when someone is mean to my friends or my friends are unhappy. I will ALWAYS stick up for my oldest and dearest friends, and I will always stick up for what I am truly passionate about. I am a very loyal friend, if you need me I will be there, and if you have a strange question to ask, I'm your girl. I hope that I will always feel strongly about the people and things closest to me
