Dear Journal, for as long as I can remember, my family and I would spend the week of Christmas at our beach house with my family's lifelong friends, the Arthur's. Even when I moved to Los Angeles when I was thirteen, I would still meet up with my parents and the Arthur's. While I have always gotten along with Aunt Pam and Uncle Peter, I have never really gotten along with their son, Phillip. In fact, we would bicker and pick at each other every chance that we got! Today, however, something awesome happened: Phillip and I came to a truce and decided to stop bickering, Quickly, I had realized why I would bicker with Phillip, and it was not because he is three years older than me. It was because I have secretly been in love with him this entire time! Even though it scares me a little, it also makes me very excited!-Addie xoxo
