“I tried to drown my sorrows, but the bastards learned how to swim”
— Frida Kahlo

Simplified Meaning:
When someone goes through tough times, they might try to escape or forget their problems by doing things like drinking alcohol or avoiding the issue. However, this doesn't really solve anything. Instead, the problems tend to come back, sometimes even stronger. Imagine if you have a bad day at work, and you try to forget about it by watching movies all night. The next day, the work problems are still there, plus you might be tired from staying up late. The idea is that running away from problems often makes things worse. It’s better to face the issue head-on and find a real solution.
