I don't think words can explain my fascination. My father was absent for the majority of my life so I always felt alone coming up. I didn't have friends in elementary school or in middle school and didn't meet my now-best friends until my final years of high school. Right after I met them is about the time I met Anne. Her name had been circling the back of my mind for such a long time, it wasn't until mid-2009 that I decided to look her up and see what she was all about.

I found out she had a diary. I loved learning about World War II so when I found out someone had kept a diary during the war, I was immediately interested. First I tried pirating it - which I regret. Good thing I never found a torrent because there is nothing like holding her diary in your hands, sitting down and reading her amazingly beautiful writings and to think she was just a teenager! I love it. The best thing about it at the time was the fact that I was 16 years old, only one year older than Anne after she died. I felt like being near the same age really connected us. I felt like she was talking directly to ME and keeping me updated on her life. After I finished I was SO SAD because I knew she was dead and that, that was it.... This person I grew attached to.. this beautiful girl who talked about her dreams in life, classmates, struggles and family is dead. I've cried myself to sleep on several occasions and since then have swore to her that I'd finish Catherine and dedicated each book (4 books) to herself, Margot (her sister), Edith (her mother) and Otto (her father).

In spite of her death, I found Anne and I to be alike in many ways. We share "faults" and we share strengths which get me through life on a day-to-day basis. She inspired me to become an author and to go to school. She's so strong and so smart.. and I felt like I was just this dumbass because I've been failing the majority of my classes. I felt like if she could be this great then I could to. I felt like she was telling me that I'm not some loser and that I could be something. I could be whatever I want to be! I could change my life and be smart like her. I could be strong like her.. she filled me with the inspiration I needed to get my life together.

I'm never going to let people forget about her. I live my life in dedication of her and have changed my middle name to prove it. I want her to know how much I love her. I hope she watches me from time to time because I'm going to do allot of things for her and when I die we're probably going to have a talk about everything..

I know for a fact I missed things and that I could have explained some of this better than I did but it's 11PM and I have class in the morning.

P.S. @Pirate I noticed I still have my custom "Annelies Marie Frank" title. Could I keep it pretty please?
(If you don't want me to have it, you can remove it I won't complain lol)

Annelies, I know this is a late reply to your thread, however I wanted to send my regards. I posted sometime back, in another thread somewhere, thanking you and telling you I hoped we'd never loose you. You have done more for this site than many others and I'm sure your past here is, if not forgotten, at least forgiven. You speak well and have a distinct way with your words. With that as my reasoning, I wish you well on your journey to becoming an author and successfully writing that book you've spoken of so many times prior to your resignation. I know in my heart that you don't need my hope but I take that in stride and wish that you will accept it despite the fact. You will be missed immensely and I hope you find what your looking for in life.

@FirebirdTA01 beautifully spoken, and very well written.

It’s a touchy topic that everyone knows a little about, but most people don’t really go further back in time than Madonna or Avril Lavgine...

That’s probably why there is a lot of blah, blah, blah, blah and noise in the communication. If you picked Marilyn Monroe, everyone would expect you to be a miniature Indiana Jones that found some MM posters and magazines in your father’s garage or in the attic...

No I find those pretty freaky too. I try to avoid music all round anyway. (wastes time for me :/)
