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?
