You surround yourself with your pain or you avoid it and let it find you when you are trying to do other things

Ann Brashares
About This Quote

The trick to avoiding your problems is to stop being so focused on them. Instead, take a step back and look at what you are doing. Are you spending all of your time focusing on the problem? Then, you are letting the problem surround you. Instead, you should avoid it by doing something else.

Spending time with people who make you feel good will give you an escape from the problem. You will also let other people find it when they are trying to do other things.
