Carrie Fischer meant a lot for me. I grew up on films like Lord of the Rings and of course like Star Wars.
When I was in kindergarden we could dress like princess and talk about them. I remember like it was now, that every girl picked Belle or Snow White. But I was the only one who picked princess Leia. I wore white dress and said in front of all teachers: ,,I am princess Leia Organa from Alderaan." And all of them looked at me as if I was crazy. They asked me to repeat myself and I did, but they never understood. When I was 6 years old we had an photoshoot. My mother did Leia's buns to my hair. Even though I didn't have crown,I felt like the real princess. Then I started to go on elementary school. In first grade I talked only to boys. Boys were the only ones who understood me. After some time I started to talk to girls and I never mentioned my love for Star Wars. As time went of course they found out and they looked at me through their fingers.But they got used to that. I never had a girl who would understand that. Two years ago my friend asked what is Star Wars about. I told her to watch it and you will know, she did. She was my first girl friend with who I could talk about Star Wars. It felt so good. Now I have so many friends, Star Wars fans. And it's thanks to you Carrie, because i learned from you to be confident, to never give up, to be independent. All thanks to you. And now I am here. Sitting. And crying, because my hero died. Remembering all those good memories. Thank you princess. And goodbye.
