Out Of Sight Out Of Mind Essay

Decent Essays
I wonder if there is a condition in relation to out of sight out of mind. How easily it is we take things for granted sometimes, we dont realize how much we actually loose, or lost. I call it a condition because for me it is something I have been conditioning myself to do for a long time now. Now what the actual medical terminology would refer to it as would be, It has become a mechanism or a tool for me at various times in my life. It is not until recently that I have actually even thought abut it. Out of sight out of mind.
I recently ran into a little situation and I needed some help. Nothing major, nothing big. I needed some money for a school book, for a class that was a week in and I was on the verge of being dropped.

Come to thing of it, I have spent a lot of time locked behind gates and walls, since my early youth. And no we get to the concept at hand, out of sight out of mind. Doctor so and so says in his journal that.......and yes it fits the pattern. Each and everyone off you has had the thought cross your mind about loosing someone or something that you cant bare to be without. We have all played the scenarios of what we would do, how it would feel, if we would get past it. And no doubt many of us have lost someone or something, and have felt that sting, and some of us have done it one, two, many times. So it seems when I started this journey of separation, could I have accustomed my mind and my heart to be wit out, do with out, because I have out myself in a situation where I would have to forget my loved ones, or not be a part of their lives when growing up. I have made myself this distant person, and haven 't even recognized it until now. Honestly readers, until now. Could it be that from depriving myself of my loved ones, and being deprived from my loved ones, I have crawled into this box, where I am mentally, and emotionally alone. So I sit here, and I right this concept essay, and I have had some revelations, I actually started out on the concept of communication, until this little even. And now im starting to question things, and im wondering where do I go from here. Im getting a bit ahead of myself, but this is serious. I have so much family, and I think about them in fleeting moments, as if looking at a picture and tucking it away. I talk to my father for a week or two straight, and then silence for months, sometimes a year. I have conditioned myself to be in a state of out of sight out of mind so much so that anyone who knows me doest reach out because they think that I just forgot about them, or don 't want to talk. Out of sight out of mind. I live my life

    On April 20th 2016, I’ve entered into this black hole that I wasn’t proud of. Ignoring calls from friends and family and when I did answer I responded with no emotion temporarily zoning out. Apart of the reason why I did this was because I was mad at the world and had some angry towards my dad because we haven’t seen each other in 17 years and just when everything was perfect and I was planning my trip he was gone. This concept is described as emotional cutoff by the Bowen theory “people managing their unresolved emotional issues with parents, siblings, and other family members by reducing or totally cutting off emotional contact with them” (The Bowen Center, 2016), since my dad was gone our emotional or any contact was completely cut off and…
