I want to reconcile with my high school best friend after 6 years. Should I do it or leave it in the past?

Anonymous

So in high school, I had a best friend. Throughout the school we were known as two peas in a pod. Other students couldn’t bring up her name without bringing up mine. When someone thought of me they thought of her.
That’s how close we were as best friends.

Then in our final year of high school we had a stupid falling out. It was over a stupid text message. I ignored her because I was angry. Then she started hanging out with another group and I started hanging out with another group.
We reconciled later on in that year but then we fell out again. Because I found out she had been telling people things I had told her. So I blocked her on all platforms.
Stupid high school shit, right?
We graduated high school without talking to one another.

Now I’m 22.
I look at my mother and her best friend. They’ve been best friends since birth. I resent the fact that I fumbled that bond that I once had with someone over something so ridiculous. Sometimes but not all the times I feel really sad about it.
then I take into the account the fact that this ex best friend is still very much alive.
I know what her instagram handle is. I know what her Snapchat handle is. But it’s just matter of reaching out.

But I ask myself

Is it worth it? It’s been 7 years.
How would you feel if a former friend who had blocked you had reached out again? Or sent you a friend request on instagram?

Now I have found new friends since we broke off our friendship and I’m sure she has as well.
But part of me just craves that want of having life long friends.
