I want to talk to an old girl friend but we stopped talking for like 3 years and it was super awkward. I was thinking of randomly texting her this.
“hi is this still \*\*\* its \*\*\* we used to be friends like a really long time ago i kinda just wanted to say hi ok thats it bye” AHHHHHHHHHH i hate this so much but I really want to talk to her

Breathe lol I get this stuff is super nerve racking. Just a couple things to ask yourself, did you guys end on okay terms? Is she seeing someone else?
You want to make sure reaching out to her won’t stir anything up and could cause harm. If you feel it’s okay to reach out then maybe just say something like “Hi __, it’s ___. I know it’s been a while but I wanted to reach out and see how you’ve been.” It’s pretty simple but you don’t want to come across as nervous or awkward.
If she responds and is interested in chatting she’ll probably ask how you’ve been and then you can continue the conversation. If she doesn’t respond then you have your answer or it’s not her phone number anymore. Good luck, you got this!
Please don’t text this. This just reeks of awkwardness.
Be more upfront about it.
“Hey (name), been thinking about you lately, just wanted to say hello. Hope you’re doing well, maybe we can hang out sometime.”
That’s it. If she ignores it, move on and don’t text her anymore.
It sounds normal if you are a teen. I would not be surprised if a teen sent me such a message.
