... One of my exes and former best friends called me today.

This was completely out of the blue, as after our very emotional and overly-dramatic break-up, they had cut off all contact with me, ruining our friendship as well as several friendships with mutual friends on my end.

And I thought... Well, it's almost my birthday, maybe that's why... Maybe this is an outreach of friendship, maybe we can rekindle the deep friendship we had. That would be... amazing.

So I answered.

I was told that breaking up with me was the biggest mistake they ever made, that they were so sorry, that if I could please just, forgive them, take them back, they missed me so much...

I, very emotional at this point, told them that I was still too hurt, I could never... be in a relationship with them again. But that if friendship was an option, nothing would mean more to me.

...

Then the laughter started.

I was on speakerphone. She and her new boyfriend thought it was hilarious that I took it seriously on TODAY of all days.

...

I hate people.
