Ok, so… I have no idea how to start this?? Because I just found my childhood bestie on Instagram. This girl and I haven’t talked in maybe 10 years? Probably even more. I guess I should talk about the beginning of our friendship.

Basically, I’ve always moved a lot, even as a kid. I lived in the US, and kinda transitioned into living part time between the US and Mex, and later moved permanently to Mex. This obviously didn’t help my pre-k brain help develop friendships; this isn’t even mentioning that I couldn’t distinguish the difference between speaking Spanish and English, and that I was an overall insufferable kid. Anyways, sometime in this period of living between the two countries, I started attending school in both of them. This is where I met my first true friend: Andy.



We first talked on the first-ish day of school. I was three, she must have been four. From there, we became inseparable. We had, of course, bonded over our mutual love for all things pink, and Disney princesses. My favorite was Ariel, and hers Cinderella. We both had pink backpacks with princesses, but mine was missing Ariel, and hers was missing Cinderella. I noticed this because she sat next to me, and we both laughed. That's how we met.





From there, we kept spending time together, and we kept having things in common. We both had monster high backpacks, we were both obsessed with Monster High, and most of all, we always considered each other our “best friend”. I never saw her outside of school though, she didn’t have the best family life, and I think we lived in opposite ends of town. Andy eventually ended up moving away at the end of 4th grade. I think her mom got custody, and she moved to Mexico City. After moving to literally the biggest city in the country, I completely lost contact with her.



I’ve been trying to find her ever since, but I never could. When I first got insta, she was the first person I tried to look up. When nothing concrete came of it, I gave up for a bit. From then on, I tried looking her up , almost once a year? I remembered her full name, and I remembered her dad’s name and occupation (I know he did IT), just not her mom’s. I never found her, sadly. I think I figured either of her parents forced her to delete social media, maybe her dad with his tech background, or her mom just being… her mom.



I’m not sure what caused this recent, visceral urge to find her, but I think I did. I found this instagram profile of a girl with a matching name, who also looks just like her, and happens to also live in Guadalajara. I might just cry. I think my recent discovery of her profile might be her getting bangs (like the ones she had as a kid), and also maybe putting her profile on public?? I really hope it is her. I just sent her a DM, and I hope she replies soon.
