Starting fresh … slowly

I for one choose to leave AIESEC slowly, step by step and it’s been a process for the last 1,5 months. These last 5 years have been the most exciting years of my life and letting go is extremely hard, but it’s slowly happening.
AIESEC has been an amazing experience for me and has really turned my life around, helped me become the person I am today. I’ve did my best to give back to AIESEC at least a fraction of what I received and I hope I’ve accomplished that. I did and still do love AIESEC with all my heart and that’s why its so hard. I’ve learned tough to accept that this is a step I simply have to do. I’m moving to a new level, a new experience. Being at the National Congress last weekend strengthened my decision. It felt so good meeting some friends and seeing them still passionate about AIESEC, seeing happy faces, determination.
In the same time I realized I didn’t recognize half the people … feeling an itch, simply feeling like I don’t belong. And at the same time watching the official takeover, old people, just like me, leaving to new experiences and new ones taking over.
AIESEC will never stop to surprise me :).
Cheers,
The Lion.

Complexity is a chronic infection. Once you've got it you spend lots of time managing it. It almost never goes away. (via

I know excactly how it feels.. When you see more and more people you don’t recognize, and search for familiar faces in the crowd, when once again you feel like at the first @ conference :) except that this is the last one.
I’ve been saying good-byes to @Ukraine for couple of months already, and finally feel it i stime to leave. Not leaving @, but still feels like i am feeling BIG part of me here..
all the best, keep updating on your jorney :)
