Rec'd on 👻 do you have childhood ghosts?

i met her because she was selling girl scout cookies door to door with her mom, and our moms got talking and suggested we hang out. she started coming over every week w/ her dolls and we were quickly playing out insanely adult stories that we got from idk where. unsupervised television access i guess? my favorite memory was our two myscene criminal best friends who would flirt with kens and steal their wallets out of their pockets while hugging them. i don't even know her last name but i want to know where she is so bad!!! i know she has to be a bad bitch now with the things we were making barbie do

meet someone at a party and let them move in with you

when I was 17, I let this girl I met at a party move in with me because she told me she was in-between foster homes. she ended up stealing so many of my prized possessions, but we enjoyed a month of deep friendship and exciting adventure together before 4 cops showed up at my door with a wanted poster of her face. now I'm only allowed to bring home small mammals and the occasional injured pigeon but that girl was pretty cool.

my friend alex from 3rd grade

I was a bit of a menace in elementary school. I was very hyperactive and restless and had some authority issues, and on top of that just generally didn’t fit in well with a lot of my peers. the friends I did have all belonged to the same sort of social misfit group as me, and alex was one of these friends. he was a pretty edgy kid and probably had some anger issues looking back on it. his home life was also a bit rough, I think one of his parents had some serious medical issues. he was also a jewish kid in a exceedingly waspy environment and was new to the school, so there were a lot of reasons he probably felt othered there. he and I used to play together at recess every day with two girls and pretend like we were the characters in the Spiderwick Chronicles, collecting weird rocks and cicada wings and pretending like they were goblin teeth and fairy wings. alex and I would also hang out after school sometimes, usually at his house because he had Halo and Call of Duty and I wasn’t allowed to have violent video games at home. sometimes we’d sneak into construction sites of houses that were still being built and just mess around. we’d go up on the roofs and sit and talk for a while, getting about as “deep” as a conversation between 9 year olds could be. mostly it was commiserating about feeling out of place and talking about which girls we liked. eventually we had some kind of falling out, I forget exactly what happened but I seem to recall that there was some tension over us both liking the same girl. my mom also thought he was a bad influence so she stopped sending me to playdates at his place. I think we both went to the same middle school and high school but ran in very different circles, so we didn’t interact at all after elementary school. years later I looked him up on socials out of curiosity and found out that he had become a radical zionist and I think he was a part of one of those programs where foreigners can volunteer for the IDF. i think he moved there and now is working for a non-profit supporting the IDF. I’m personally ideologically aligned entirely on the other side of the spectrum from him, but thinking on it now it makes sense to me how someone who grew up feeling alienated would be attracted to the zionist narrative. still it’s crazy to me how differently people’s lives can play out despite at one point sharing similar environments

SERENDIPITOUS Meet cute

I was at the bar and my friend was telling me about this girl that her friend had a crush on and the description sounded vaguely familiar so I asked them to show me her Instagram and she pulled it up and put it on the table. I scrolled through to find a good picture and said “yes I do know her she’s-…right there” and I looked up and she was running towards me and I screamed her name and we hugged and made a huge scene. Definitely not slick wingman wise but I couldn’t help it because of how much of a coincidence it was. This girl was constantly on tour up and down the east coast and never in town really so we barely saw each other but always had a good time whenever we did. It was so random and felt cosmic. I introduced her to my friends and she hung out for a bit. Someone’s far away, “unattainable” Instagram crush popping up at the table, as soon shes brought up. It was so cool, I’ll never forget it.
