Aiesec trainees ultimate concern: Leaving friends behind

As Emily just reminded me, most things have an end. 5 trainees just finished their contract. Each one of them came to work with his/her camera and was taking pictures with coworkers they are probably never going to see again.
Jack and Emily passed me the legendary American flag where you have to write them a small note; but this time, it’s the one who stays that writes.
Celso’s mind is not in St Louis anymore, it's somewhere in the next countries he is visiting. (He is planning quite a trip around the world… check his blog for more details). And now here I am thinking (Yes it happens sometimes), what is my next destination, am I ever going to see these people again, what are my plans for the future. From now on, it's going to be sad around here, they where the ones we asked about everything. The ones who knew; they have been here for long enough. Always ready to help, explain, listen, and party :)

It is not the first time that I’m separated from my friends, but this time it’s different:
- They are leaving not me.
- A whole group is leaving.
- Most of us will leave at the end. Return home and try to
start a new life.
- I knew it will happen but never thought I will be this sad.
- We might never see each other again but ill
keep the memories in my heart.

To all of those leaving, I hope this will be the start of a wonderful life full of joy, happiness and success.
For those who are staying, I’ll see you enough until we all leave :)
