Dear Journal, Spending the entire summer with my family and my best friend Aaron's family at Henley Beach, Florida is something that I look forward to every year. After all, both families are lifelong good friends with one another and consider each other as family. The fact that our families live in different states doesn't change that. In fact, it makes the bond stronger. Even though I am usually automatically happy when I am here, today is not the case, and here is why. Yesterday, I found out that my boyfriend of four years had been cheating on me with a girl that I thought was my best friend. Without wasting any time, I had cut ties with both of them. After all, I do not need people like that in my life! Even though I did the right thing for myself, and that it will make me stronger in the end, my heart is shattered. On a different note, I am glad to be here at my family's beach house in Henley Beach, and with my best friend. After all, I know that being here will help me get through the pain.-Angela
