A Tale of My Long-Lost Childhood Play-Mate

It's 4:18 am and I'm so sleepy but cannot sleep due to many random things flying on my mind.

Right before I tried to sleep, I was searching through beauty bloggers' post about foundation that might works best in my oily-skin. I actually have done this endless activity since 3 weeks ago, as I prepared to do my own graduation make-up. So, the first random thing that avoids me to fall asleep is foundation. Yup. Sooo ridiculous.

Well, to be fair, I really almost fell asleep BUT OUT OF THE BLUE, noisy voices came from my neighborhood. AT 3 PM. I just caaaaan't...... WHY?!?! Then I remembered today's champions league night, so maybe they were just doing thing I supposed to love, too: watching football. (But how dare you disturb my sleep?!?!)

At 3.30, I was up to the situation where I hardly forced myself to sleep. I tried hard to clear my mind but another random thought reached my mind from the most hidden place on my brain: I thought about my old friend. My elementary school friend. Not so close, as she's younger a year than me but she lived in my neighbourhood so I used to play with her like...every afternoon.

So I started to scroll through social media and tried to find her. Not so difficult, I have a good memories about her full name, her face, her siblings' name (she had twin younger bros and an older sister), even her birthday date. I also found that we still have some mutual friends. She's still living close to me but we totally lost contact since I graduated 11 years ago and went to different junior high school.

Her face isn't much different as I remember. She had pale skin, straight hair, shorter than me.....very cute. Now she's even cuter. More beautiful. Naturally beautiful. Her instagram photos show that she's not that kind of girl who I'd find annoying. (Yeah, I judged a person by her/his socmed life.)

The more I think about her, the more I think how weird my life is. How easy I forgot her. She's not my number 1 friend in elementary school or else, but she lives some metres away, how can I never see her face at all after we separate for higher school?

Anyway, I also lost contact with my elementary school bestfriend for 10 years. I recently chat her again, but I think she found me pretty creepy, as I (without anticipation) followed her on instagram. (Is that creepy?)

It's now 5.00 am, I'll close this post. Just to clear my mind of her, I'll tell her real name. This girl in my neighborhood, the one that suddenly ruins my sleep...her name's Natalia. Hello, Natal, do you remember me?
