out of mind

I've been wondering if "out of sight, out of mind" actually works.

I feel like it doesn't. I don't have to see something regularly to be reminded of it and long for it.

I haven't seen my Nan in over ten years, but just because she is out of sight doesn't mean I don't always think about her.

There are times I wish that this saying held true and other times where I hate the idea of forgetting.

Sometimes our best defense is forgetting. Sometimes not knowing is best. 


Somethings really are better left unsaid. 


A lot of unnecessary pain comes from knowing.

We yearn as long as we live to gain as much knowledge as we can. And in most cases, knowledge is power. 

In some cases however, knowledge is our biggest weakness. 

Love can go like that, at least it seems that way to me.

Wouldn't it be easier not knowing? Not having to be let down or doing the letting down?

Of course, along with not knowing comes missed opportunities.

Which begs the question, which is worse? Not knowing and missing an opportunity? Or, knowing and an opportunity falling to pieces?

I'll leave you with that for now.
