Misery loves company. That's what I've been told. I've also heard that thing where if your nose itches it means "company's coming". Sometimes I wonder about these little things.

Misery loves my company. Misery likes to take me to places I've never been in my mind. To overthink, overanalyze. Misery likes to make me feel inadequate, like I'm not doing a decent enough job at this life thing to care.

Company doesn't love misery. Company is tired of Misery always bossing him around. Company doesn't want Misery to be his boss; he wants to make his own way, start his own company. Company wants a company that will make Misery see the truth, which is that Misery loves Company, but Company doesn't love Misery.

Is it a toxic relationship? I think so. I think Misery and Company would be a whole lot better off if they just broke up, to be perfectly honest.
