That is a good idea, Im actually friends with both of those people too.

Don't be disappointed if she doesn't respond or "friend" you back. She may not be on Facebook much, she may not remember you, she may be very choosy about who she has on her friends list, and for some people the past is the past and if she has plenty of friends now, she might not feel the need to reconnect with people from decades ago. Especially since neither of you has any idea who the other turned out to be and you might discover you don't even get along anymore.
Those are good points, I have NO goal to start dating her or anything like that.


I think some of this is just me 'reminiscing', those times were GREAT for me and right before I started to make some bad decisions, that would have life long consequences, I think I can say it was honestly the last time I was really happy too.


I was doing well in BMX and had a chance to take it to the next level if I would just commit to more training, unfortunately, I started to become more interested in chasing girls and hanging out with the 'wrong' group of kids, my sport became less and less of a priority. To make it worse, my parents were going thru a divorce and my dad constantly nagged at me about how expensive and time consuming BMX racing was, the traveling to different sanctioned races, the bikes, uniforms, parts, etc. My mom had provided all of this beforehand, everything was changing for the worse basically.

If you reach her be careful to refrain from talking personal problems right off, just be friendly and reminisce with her, which she might really enjoy.



And no matter earlier bad decisions, you can and should always be working on bettering yourself. That's something you never stop doing, even with mistakes in the past.
