I believe that kepping your old friends does not contradicts the possibility of making new friends. You can take care of your old friends and being able to make new ones.  Having a really old and good friend is the best thing that you can have. Those are like treasures, they are not easy to find, and your life will be richer just only having them in your important or difficult moments. You must really take care of them. They are like a plant, you must constantly calling them, helping them, being present in the more important events of their lives, giving them love, and showing them your appreciation. They are important and you must treat them as what they are, a treasure. But also I believe that life is dynamic. Your interest can change, your motivation can change, the place where you live can change, and also you are propense to find other people who may you do not know them well, however, they sincerely want to help you or motivate you without receiving nothing in exchange. This is beautiful when it happens. Last year I was living in a new and different country without friends or family for 9 months. I was by my own in a completely strange environment, however, I was so fortunate to find people so beautiful who helped me in difficult times. They become my friends, and I considered them as special people. they will be in my heart forever. I hope to see them again and have the possibility to share the more incredible moment next to them again.  For me, Friendship is something really important. It does not matter if is a new or an old friend. The most important thing is that love connections stay alive independently of the distance or how you live has changed. There is always good to come back to your old good friends and remember when you were younger, but also it is incredible when you are alone and you find caring people in the more unusual places. Having the chance of sharing important moments that will last forever in your mind and your heart is a real pleasure.
