so when i was 5 i moved to Canada, at the time, i didnt want to cause i had my friends here, in Spain. but eventually i made new friends in canada. for the first two years i lived in windsor. unfortunately i did not keep in touch with any of the friends i made there but i still keep some photos of them . then i moved to Toronto, i was there for a year so didnt really make any deep connections but i had a great time with the ppl i met, and just like that, i was back in Spain. i dont even remember saying goodbye to them.
fastforward years and years later, in spain i wasnt happy with my life and thought i didnt belong here, i belonged in canada so i started thinking of my time there and how much i missed it. i started thinking of those friends back there, id ask myself if they'd still remember me but immediatly answered myself: no, how could they i was there for just a year.
but then the pandemic happend, and out of boredom, i found the yearbook from that last year in Toronto. i looked for my class and there they were, all cute and all, my classmates. now i would be able to contact them on Instagram and see if they remember anything at all. and so i searched them up on ig with just their name and surname. thankfully i was able to find some of them but i didnt have the guts to actually ask them, cause what if i was making a fool of myself believing they'd remember me. however i wasnt gonna miss my chance and decided to dm 2 of them.
if you guess they responded and remembered me you guessed right cause they totally did! how was that possible! not one but 2! i really thought i was a ghost to them. and it turns out, after all those years we really hit it off, cause we chatted and kept updating abt our lives all through the quarantine.
anyways, now we follow eachother on every social media, talk now and then and keep in touch.
i really hope someday ill be able to actually meet them in person again.
at least now i know im remembered which has helped me a lot through many suprising encounters after this one.
