Make new friends but keep the old...

... those are silver, these are gold.
New Made friendships like new wine,
Age will mellow and refine.

................Hmmm, I love this poem, and it also sums up my feeling at this exact moment. I just got off the phone with one of my closest friends, Bretto. He was a team mate with me on my MC term in AIESEC Australia, and someone I consider a life friend.

It was so good to hear his voice, and catch up on all each others gossip.

Its weird at the moment with my Danish MC term ending, I am really starting to think about the meaningful and non-meaningful relationships that I have formed through my time in AIESEC. I am starting to think, who will be close to me in my life beyond AIESEC.

Who will I continue to keep in touch with?

Who do I count on in times of trouble?

Who will I stay in touch and continue my relations with into my life?

I am so happy at the moment having talked to Bretto because he symbolizes what I have gained from AIESEC - some amazingly close personal friendships that will last a lifetime.

I am positively glowing at the thought of new and old friends, old and new wine....
