Out of sight, out of mind
July 8, 2021 This issue is not ***out of sight, out of mind*** for us. But we have just decided to prioritize other things right now. Source: theidioms.com https://www.theidioms.com/out-of-sight-out-of-mind/ The phrase originated in the 13th century with the first literary origin being in 1562 in the work titled “*Woorkes. A dialogue conteynyng prouerbes and epigrammes”* by John Heywood. Source: theidioms.com https://www.theidioms.com/out-of-sight-out-of-mind/ Have you heard that phrase? Or do you believe in that phrase? There is someone who told me about that phrase a year ago, and I read it again a few days back, I'm not just sure if its in an article or if it's in one of my conversation with @Just1dood and honestly I don't like that phrase especially during the time when you are experiencing it. During the time when you are wondering why you are not receiving any calls or any messages. Let's check its meaning at oxford languages **PROVERB** you soon forget people or things that are no longer visible or present. "he'll be locked away for the rest of his life—out of sight, out of mind" You see the meaning is actually as simple as you read it. When someone or something is not in your sight or is not near you the chance of forgetting the person or the item is high. We forget the person or the thing when we don't see it. We tend to stop thinking about that person or about that thing it they are out of our view for a long period of time.
The person or the thing that is out of our sight becomes less important than what it is when it is within our sight. Though there are people who are not like this but the chances of it to happen as I said is very high especially if the person is also busy with work or with life. Are you that type of person? Are you the out of sight out of mind type of person? Are you one of those person that when you are away or when your partner is away you tend to forget them? You tend to forget the person that you talked to everyday? You forget the person you cared for? You forget the person that you always worry if he/she is already at home just because you two are far away from each other? Just because you are not seeing each other everyday or most of the time? That fact saddens me. It saddens me to know how one can forget just because they are away from each other. It saddens me to know that they can't keep the fire burning just because of distance. It saddens me to know that you both lose that interest of talking and knowing what happened in a day with each other just because of that damn distance. There are so many things that you can do now if you really want to keep the fire burning. If you really want to keep in touch with the person. If you really don't want to forget the person. Being busy with work is not an excuse for you not to reach out, for you not to make that text just to check how the other person is doing. Thinking that its alright with your partner not to call at night is big mistake especially if you promise to keep in touch.
If you really care for that person, don't give him/her a chance to think that he/she is not that important anymore. Don't give him/her a reason to think that you don't have time for him/her and that you are busy with work that's why you can't call. Because when you are starting the relationship you give that person all your time and attention. You even check the bus and train schedule just to make sure that he/she can catch that bus/train on time. And just because of that distance you forget all those things. **Final thoughts** Being away from each other is a lot of work but don't let the time and effort that you invest go to waste just because of the distance. It is not easy to find someone that you'll be comfortable with. Remember if you really want to do it there's a thousand ways for you to do it but if not there is also a thousand reasons for you not to do it. Take care of your relationships whether near or far. Being out of sight is not a reason to be out of your mind too.

Guilty ako kc minsan ganyan ako. Kpag matagal ko na hindi nakikita isang bagay or tao. Nakakalimutan ko. Unless maremind ako ng iba about them.. College friends ko wala na kmi commu mag isand dekada na.. Hindi ko naman sila nkalimutan . sadyang may mga kanya kanya ng buhay. Pro nakakamiss parin
i think it really happens pero kung iisipin mo sayang yung time kung kakalimutan na lang sila di ba? pero cycle of life din yata talaga sya kahit ako yung mga college friends ko bihira ko na sila nakakausap kasi nasa abroad na din sila.. so nawawala talaga sa circulation pero we still keep in touch d nga lang katulad ng dati
Kaht sa fb wala narn. 😅 kung sasadyain lang
sadyain mo minsan hahaha malay mo naiisip ka din nila :)
I have a very strong memory, I may forget their names, but would rarely forget who they are. It also depends on what we are talking about. Certain memories, certain people, emotions, movies, certain things etc. fall into the above category. But there are also things that do not. We do forget trivial things fast enough.
hope you are feeling better today sis.. huggs and yes you are right those trivial things are easy to forget and those bills too especially if they are inside the drawer LOL
I'm trying, sis ty 😘 what bill? 😁 naamnesia ako dun ah!
those electricity bills, water bills and phone bills hahaha
Judith, sis :D
talagang nakaka amnesia yun sis hahaha
naman, sis. me ganun palang mga bagay bagay no? hehe
hahaha oo nga eh.. paano kaya nangyayari yung selective amnesia hahaha
pede naman, sis :D
It's okay if at times some people slip out of your mind but it's a different story when that person is someone you have a deep or close relationship with.
yep... definitely a different story ...
Ughhh, there are some lines that hit me to the bone. The title itself is like one of the lyrics of LANY's song. "Out of sight but you're not out of my mind" That true. With or without the person, your love will still remain. I like this line tho when you said, "If you really care for that person, don't give him/her a chance to think that he/she is not that important anymore".
I'll check on that song.. i'm not sure if i heard that... there are so many cases of that situation right now because of the lockdown and it's sad when it happens
Yes please! That song is so nice if you like drama haha. The title of the song is Through these tears by lany.
ok.. will look it now in yt hihiih
hahahaaha Control my thoughts Convincing myself it's your loss I really mean it and I'm Starting to believe it i like those lines
Usually this do not work or happen with every one life .. more than 60% people like to think and care about their friends , partner of life or employee .. But yah this happen when you are not a good boss or good people who do not able to respect other .. then this destroy come!
I really love that part that says if you really want to do it,there are a thousand ways you can and if you don't want to,there are still thousands of ways you can't. Hmm,that part is really deep and it got me thinking. Truly we shouldn't let distance be our problem and be what will let us lose the person we love. I really love the article,thanks for sharing.
Thanks for appreciating it .. it is common now a days because of lockdown but i really hope it doesn't happen to anyone
You wlecome
Hmm. Nagiisip .. napapaisip.. hmmm .. im too over sentimental about lots to forget.. but also sensitive enough to dodge off memories pag di ko bet. I am forgetful Pero in general i have a collection of memories of people, events, conversations even. There are people we loose touch with and people we outgrow over time .. "natural passing" i guess. Pero minsan i initiate pangangamusta.
Hahaha true minsan hindi pwedeng nag iintay ka lang din
I love the final thoughts. And i quote it "Being out of sight is not a reason to be out of your mind too." it is indeed right. As you say there are thousands ways to stay connected with that person youre far with. If you really want to keep your relationship strong and really love that person distance won't be a hindrance to the two of you. Remember to stay faithful even if you are in a long distance relationship. I enjoyed reading your work :)
Thanks leng! Yep distance or whatever shouldn't be the reason if you really love a person
Well done. You've done one of those articles that causes one to think. And think I did. In fact, I think I have enough points t write an article about it. And what happens is that I'll be doing a first. I'll be 'transferring' my comments to an article. I'll post the link here once I'm done working on it. Meanwhile, remember this, and this thought has gotten me through relationships until I found the one. When I was at the end of a relationship, hurting as it does, I am comforted by this thought - at the beginning of this now failed relationship, I'd thought "Wow, this is it. the best relationship I've ever been in my life." So, what's comforting is that I know the next one will be better and that keeps me going. Hope and faith keeps me going.
I think i lack those when it comes to relationship.... That's why i stopped not for a short time but for quite a long time
A relationship is not something to be rushed into. You know there's a song that says "Fools Rush In (Where Angels Fear to Tread)", right? So, you're alright.
Thanks for this bro.. really appreciated ☺️
Well done dear. Appricate you and thanks for explaining about basic of english. Actually problem is that i am weak in grammer. And i want trying here to write more and more so that my english grammar improved. I got a lot of information ftom artical keep writing about and again thanks Sharing basic information with us. :)
Just keep on reading and writing and in no time you'll get used to it
Yeah i a trying my best
I was watching a series recently and the most important thing that really ended a long distance relationship that went on for a years was trust, she believed his life is far different from hers, and his day time is always her night. Distance shouldn't stop a relationship it just depends on how committed both partners are. Thank you for writing this
That's true... Trust and commitment is important especially in a long distance relationship
Yeah and it takes a whole lot of work from both parties.
I've heard that one before. It's in songs like Since U Been Gone by Kelly Clarkson. Indeed constant communication is the key in a relationship. It happens that we get caught up with life but be sure to make time with those people who are important to you.
Yep.. a simple text will do.. guess it eat much of your time ☺️
i just remembered that song .. it was in one of the pitch perfect movie hahaha
Being in the current company I sometimes neglect checking on my friends on how are they doing these times. Work consumes me sometimes but like you said it was never enough reasons. Sometimes I kept messing up my schedule with my work and with my family that I even ignore messages from my colleagues.. Guess this must be an eye-opener for me to stay connected and in touch with them...thank you ma'am for this constant reminder. God Bless!
Your welcome hope you are not forgetting to have some time for yourself too 😉
I'm trying to balance everything..but guess I can't mwehehehe...madali mawala safocus eh
Hahaha yep totoo yan but always try
will do maam hehehe thank you!!
Out of sight out of mind is a very commonly used phrase in the UK. I don't like it, I prefer the more positive one, absence makes the heart grow fonder! An article to ponder over with a hot coffee , now enjoy your weekend 😁
Hmmm can i write a topic about that one "absence makes the heart grow fonder" i:ll just try where will it lead me 😉
I think that we forget persons or thing that we thought that were important but ended been trivial. But we don´t forget those that really matter even in the distance.
That's true... I think distance just reveal how important a person or a thing is
