Doesn't Mean I Forgotten About You

When I moved from my home country to the States, I have to leave all my friends that I've known pretty much all my life. I remember saying that we'll stay in touch with each other. The first year, I tried to stay in contact with my closest friends. However, as time goes, seems like we're all drifting apart. When usually we would text each other once a week, it became once every two weeks and then every month and gradually none at all. Now, even my supposedly best friends doesn't really know what's going on with my life and I had no idea either how they're doing. Except little bit, by looking from their posts on social media (thanks for that, Instagram). Other than that, I have no idea.
If you ask me who my best friends are, I know for sure whose name I will tell you first. But then, I haven't talk to that person in such a long time. Does that person still my best friend?
I may not constantly in contact with my friends back home. I will admit it, I'm really bad at keeping in touch with people. But that doesn't mean I've forgotten about them. I still think about them every once in awhile. Maybe it's just my ego. If they're not really making the effort to contact me first, why should I? Or sometimes, I also use this excuse, maybe they're busy, I should not bother them.
or maybe this is just life. You grew up, things are changing, people grew apart. So, I guess this is normal?

Believe In Yourself

As a human being we may have a goal set up in our minds or a dream that someday we wanna reach. But sometimes, some people never reached their goals or dreams because they simply didn't believe in themselves. This may be a common thing for us, we have a goal and we want to make it happen, but there's a voice in the back of our mind saying that it's impossible, we're not gonna make it, etc. We're doubting ourselves from making it comes true. And it's also not rare to get those negative thoughts from others, too. People will always have something to say about us, either it's a positive thing or the opposite. And it's such an inevitable thing to avoid.

The thing we need to do to make our dreams come true is we have to stop all the negative thoughts get into us. But most of all, it has to start from ourselves first. We have to believe in us in order to make others have the same thought, too. How can you show people that we can make it if your own self don't even believe on that? Stop doubting yourself.

And the thing about what others said. We have choices either to let what they said get into us and makes us insecure or just don't care about what they said. Then, from there it's time for you to prove them that they're all wrong.
