Who in your life has influenced you strongly? This may be in a positive or negative way. Think and write about those people who have had a significant impact in your life and may have been responsible for the direction of your life path. Think about how old you were, how these people affected you, the obstacles that you faced and the way your life has changed. Recognize those that have had a profound effect on you. Who were they? What did they say to you? What do they represent?

Mr. Murakami...ever since I was introduced to him seven years ago, my life changed. He was able to amaze me with every sentence he writes. His books were the foundations of my thinking. It is him who taught me that books are closely related to thinking.
Remember how I said if there was a person that thinks like me we could open our hearts to each other? Well, there was actually a person like that. She thinks exactly like me, but way more sophisticated. If there was ever one person I really look up to, it would be her. Arthur Rimbaud, Oscar Wilde, Murakami, Gabriel García Márquez, Margaret Mitchell...she always mention them.
If my parents are the sun, she would be the moon, shining me in the darkest of nights. But also remember how I said we'd end up in absolute solitude and burn up?
