The Eight of Cups indicates disappointment and repression. Perhaps you have been deceived or let down by someone close to you. Maybe you're avoiding being truthful with someone out of fear of being judged or rejected. Ultimately hiding from things only makes for a bigger mess to clean down the line. Opt for truth, first and foremost.

Sometimes turning your back on a project can serve you. Perhaps an investment you made or business agreement you entered into was clearly a bad move and now you are left with the decision to see it through or turn your back on it and cut your losses. Often times, the latter can leave you baggage but in the end might be the smartest and safest bet.

While you may have a lot on your mind as of late, escapism seems like the best and only option. The Eight of Cups makes it clear that regardless of whether your not you choose to confront your problems now or sometime down the line, they will persist as long as they go unmanaged. If you are lacking to strength to cope at the moment, realize that eventually a time will come where these issues must be faced.
