'Annie on my Mind' is a tale of two girls who fall in love, we hear about their love through the letters that Liza keeps writing to Annie but never posts. The girls happen to meet in The Metropolitan Museum of Art as Liza hears someone singing and appears to follow where the singing is coming from until she comes across Annie. The two are instantly drawn to one another which neither of them can explain as neither one of them has ever encountered such a feeling/sensation and especially not with a girl that they barely know. The girls instantly become inseparable and initially it's just seen as they have each found someone they can finally be themselves around as in act silly and often play make believe. Their friendship/relationship appears to go through rough patches, awkward stages and the unforeseeable getting caught having sex at a teachers house by a fellow teacher/pupil from Liza's school. Just as it seems that Liza is never going pull her finger out and send a letter to Annie she goes and does one better.This story was influential to me because I was able to see how such an intense love affair can appear in such a young teenage lesbian couple as well as out of nowhere because in the beginning it was just seen as an intense friendship but it rapidly turned into something else. Something confusing/exciting/misinterpreted situation between the two girls which only them seemed to understand and to others it just seemed like something wrong/awful something they should be ashamed to be apart of. However by talking to the right people both Liza and Annie are able to understand that they did nothing wrong they just merely fell in love with someone who is the same sex as them.
