About

They say there is a time for every connection. There are connections that form naturally without effort, and there are connections that we can never reach, no matter how desperately we want and try to hold on. Meetings between people, encounters with wealth, and even the arrival of certain realizations—each has its own appointed time. When a connection is ripe, people will meet even if they take a long detour, but if that time has not yet come, they will fail to recognize each other even when standing side by side. And there is also a time for parting. Someone who was once more precious than anything in the world can naturally drift away from your life at any moment. This is not necessarily because of anyone's fault, but perhaps because the time that connection was meant to stay has simply run out. No one stays by my side forever, and nothing stays in my hands forever. So, rather than forcing a departing connection to stay, it is better to gratefully remember the season that person spent in your life. If it is a connection meant to be renewed, you will meet again no matter how far apart you drift, and if it is meant to end here, then letting go beautifully is the way. Perhaps that is the best way to accept 'Sijeol-Inyeon'—the destiny of the seasons. There is a time for meeting, a reason for staying, and a time for parting. Our connection, too, was perhaps just a single season that briefly visited each of our lives.
