Quote by Frida Kahlo
I tried to drown my sorrows, but the bastards learned how to swim, and now I am overwhelmed by this decent and good feeling.
Summary
This quote expresses the speaker's initial attempt to escape from their sorrows by engaging in destructive behavior, possibly through substance abuse or risky activities. However, their sorrows and negative emotions proved resilient and unable to be truly drowned or ignored. Instead of finding solace in this escape, the speaker ironically finds themselves overwhelmed by an unexpected, positive emotion. It highlights the sometimes unpredictable and paradoxical nature of emotions, as well as the need to confront and address one's sorrows rather than trying to circumvent them.
