"أنا أعرف جيداً ما أهرب منه ولكني لا أعرف ما أبحث عنه."

Simplified Meaning:

Sometimes, we clearly understand what we want to escape from, like a bad job or an unhealthy relationship, but we're unsure about what we really want in life. Imagine a person who's unhappy in their current job. They know they don't like their boss, the long hours, or the work environment. However, even if they leave, they are not sure what kind of job would make them truly happy. They just know they need a change but haven't figured out the exact path they want to follow. This can lead to uncertainty and confusion because running away from something doesn't always mean running towards a better or more fulfilling option. To apply this idea, it's important to spend time figuring out what you truly want, rather than just escaping what you don't like. This way, you can make choices that lead to a more satisfying life.
