MISERY ADORES COMPANY!!!

 Unfortunately we all have someone in our lives who seems to be perpetually unhappy. Though the sun is shimmering gorgeously against the back drop of a cerulean  sky, this individual would rather enlist the company of  you, "Friend", to hold the umbrella once again for them as they maneuver through their dark, and gloomy existence. It leaves one to wonder, must it always RAIN, Sylvia Plath? The old saying " Misery Loves Company" is the star in a drama I was unwillingly tossed into. Ms. M, as we will refer to her(Misery), came calling in the personification of a mutual friend of myself and boyfriend.  She had recently found out that her lover had replaced her for a newer model, and this reality left her a bit undone. So much in fact that she projected her anger toward anyone with even the vaguest of similarities to her ex-lover. Sharing the same Zodiac symbol as her love, I immediately fell victim to persecution. Her pain and loathing of situations completely irrelevant to my love life were brought very close to home...actually they were placed directly into my bed. Her therapy  in "over coming" her personal toils was to translate her failed relationship issues onto myself and lover's  relationship. She did this by identifying the characteristic that her ex and I  commonly posses. These similarities were concrete reasons why my man should reconsider his choices in loving me. Did she really desire for him to chuck me the duece? Was he actually considering it? A conversation between myself and lover quickly calmed my nerves, however I still racked my subconscious in hopes of finding her intentions behind this Smear Campaign against Mister Fish. I can only assume that her pain was so "DEEP" that she couldn't bear it alone. My advice to those who feel that pain and self loathing is a"group" exercise, guess again. The only way to get over pain is to LET IT GO! STOP DWELLING! Besides, most people cannot stand a party pooper!
