A person can be influenced by many things throughout his life.

Some are influenced by the stories

written, some by the lyrics of songs, some directly by a person. However every person has a turning
point or something they are affected by. The person impressed me whom you may know by the name
of Şebnem Ferah.

I was in a awful period of my life. Winter of my life. There had been many changes. I had an
explosion when a man I fell in love with, who I thought gave meaning to my life, suddenly
disappeared from my life. Later, after the death of my best friend, I tried to pull myself together for
months. I even don’t remember the first three or four months of this process. At that time, I started
listening to Şebnem Ferah. I listened to all her songs, extremely ponder about the lyrics by wrotten of
her. I felt it all from the heart and realized that we were experiencing very similar feelings. It was all
so real..

I was able to recover a little thanks to her. Also, rock music eased my pain. Noise and chaotic
environment are also a need, just as silence is a need. Even though I don't know Şebnem Ferah at all,
it's like she's my best friend. She describes her own life and I find myself in her songs. I feel the same
way with her. She write about my thoughts which I can’t say, in her songs.

It impressed me that he transformed his suffering into productivity. Then I started to write down my
feelings on a piece of paper. I have been writing for a long time. Since that day, I’ve not shared much
of what happened to me in life with those around me and not disturbed the general peace with them.
When I need to explain in some way, ın generally I explain it by writing. So I pour my poison on a
piece of paper ..

Now I’n more mature and more courageous. I try to continue my life without getting too hurt. Once
upon a time, I was experiencing my pain more bitterly. Now, by welcoming life more courageous, go
through the process more easily. Anymore I love life more. I know the value of moments well. Now,
I'm trying to reproduce those moments as much as possible. The influence of Şebnem Ferah is
enormous in this direction.

There is no such thing as winning all the time in life. Unexpected things always happen. Every
person lives their pain and happiness. I strive for these to contribute to my life, my perspective on
life. Thanks to his songs, I am more courageous.
