-What song, album, books or movies that was important to me when I was younger.



If we could put songs and albums together into music I could startwith saying that when I was young, I was the youngest kid in the family so my big sisters gave me music influence such as hip hop,foreign hip hop, reggae, reggeaton, rock and so on. Particularly themost music but I got stuck on hip hop and reggae in a young agebecause I liked the message it gave and I thought it was more and more interesting.



I can still remember my first hip hop single, Outkast – Ms Jackssonthat I got for my 9 th birthday. Other music artists/groups that Ilistened to back in the day were Bob Marley, 2Pac, Lenny Kravitz or RHCP, Don Omar, Active Members and many more. Of course, this kind of music moved on to a next level or got “improved” as the years past by.



I've always enjoyed the entertainment a movie gives you. When I was young it was especially action movies with my dad and later on I started watching more comedies with my sisters, mostly American comedies about collage students.



Books aren't my cup of tea, if you know what I mean? I mean it happensthat I read books, but not very often. Not until 9th grade I came overa book that was surprisingly entertaining and interesting, called "The Alchemist".



How this affected/changed me, why I got drawn to it and how I feelabout it today.



I think it affected most of my lifestyle. Perhaps the way I dress,walk or which friends I choose. Every experience I got from this music, movies and books gave me a lot of thinking and changed perspectives onthings. I think it positively changed me and I regret nothing. I thinkI got drawn to it because I could see a way to live up to my ownlifestyle by listening to that kind of music, by watching those movies or reading those books.



How I think I will feel about the movies, music, and books that areimportant to me today in ten years? Twenty years? Forty years?



I will probably save the most influence from the music, movies and books, but as time goes by I think I will either losememories/influence or either change the perspective on things. It'snatural to become more mature as time goes by so I guess that in a fewyears I’d maybe be listening, watching or reading something else. I can't foresee the future, I'm not a magican but I do believe in changes.Maybe the music or the way of me watching those particular movies orreading those particular books will affect my future life, I can'treally tell how because I don't pay much attention to it. But there hasto be some change.



What associations I get from the phrase "P.S. I Loved You"



I can think as if there was a guy who never really had the chance to say "I loved you" to a certain girl that meant a lot to him and itobviously sounds like a posted note or a letter.You could also associate it to some music songs or perhaps movies andeven books but none particular that I could come up with now.
