Beyond friendship

There is this special force of attraction that draws us to another. It happens when you meet and something clicks. Something just feels right. Meant to be kind of feelings. Koreans have a word for it, jeong.

The connection is about relating with someone beyond physical attraction, which means it does not necessarily have to be with your significant other. I am not sure if souls are involved but it sure does touch close to that.

I have had a jeong or two in my life and honestly, I was at my happiest then. The heart feels lighter and the future is not as daunting. Good thing about the connection is, it never fades. So despite drifting apart in the sea of life, when you meet again, it just makes sense.

Jeong is love in its purest form. It transcends affiliations, it transcends intent, it transcends distance and it transcends time.
