Do I shoot her a follow request a year later?

Howdy! So last year, I dated this girl, she was sorta my dream girl, a bit of a hippie, sweet, kind, pretty, etc. However, she had a tramatic past and was a fearful avoidant

We ended up dating for around 2 months when she broke up with me. Her reasons were primarily based around projections and fears she had. ie. Because I was never in a relationship there was no way to know if Id be verbally abusive, because I was toying with my diet at the time, in her eyes I was not eating enough and it would lead to her not eating enough, and she didnt know if she wanted to be with me or was afraid Id dump her. I tried to meet with her after we broke up, but bailed as I knew itd turn to be begging her to come back which wouldnt be healthy. Obviously no breakup is one sided, and I know there is things I couldve done better.

So a year removed, Im about 2 weeks away from starting my dream hike (the AT), and Im back on the Instagram, and wanna see how she is doing (maybe deep down give it another go when I return havent worked thru that yet...). I know this is probably an awful idea a year later, but should I shoot her a follow request?

TL;DR : I was dumped last year by a girl I had great chemistry with. is it wise to try to follow her on Instagraml a year later?
