I am sure you've heard the saying "Wherever you go, there you are." This is even more applicable to that from which one attempts to run. Attempting to avoid the truth? It will find you. A person can attempt to run, avoid, dodge, or side-step... but those issues will meet you wherever you go. Lessons unlearned will circle back around, time and again, until one gives in and learns what is begging to be taught.
Many long for a "fresh start," and it is understandable. However, if that fresh start includes leaving bad habits undealt with, or unpleasant consequences for personal actions or decisions, or the reaping of what one has sown...? They will not remain unsatisfied, and will meet you wherever you "start fresh."
Trying to jump past the pain of a breakup? to avoid the healing process and stages of grief, and jump right to "healed?" Nope. It must be experienced. As Robert Frost states above, "The only way out is through." Denial? No. Hiding? No. Avoidance? No. It must be gone through. The process depends on attitude, approach, and whether one embraces the pain of change.
Going through it sucks. No doubt about it.
But the only way out is through.
The question really is... what character will you gain on the other side?
