Also: the word "friend" means a million things to a million different people. People say "my friend" when they mean "I met this person once", but others won't call someone they've hung out with every day for ten years a friend.
Inyeon is a Korean word I learned after hearing an interview with Celine Song, creator of a new movie called Past Lives (in theaters now!). Inyeon is a term that refers to the pre-destined crossing of paths between people. That is, every person we meet in our life has a meaningful connection to us, whether they are someone we chat to briefly on the train, someone we met on our first week on a new job, or someone who may now be an ex-friend. I love this concept because it's not about throwing out old friends, but remembering the times we had and letting the mind move forward to what is meaningful in the present. Or at least, that's what I understood.
