World turned upside down

...today, and courtesy of someone who I valued as a close friend. Regardless of what she told me, it's validity and who it involves... there is no excuse for how this 'friend' went about it. If they wanted to turn my world and everything I know upside down, they succeeded. If they wanted to break my heart and make my eyes sore from constant crying, they did it well. I don't know what to believe, but I know I don't give up on what I love as easy as she might. I don't take things lying down, and I do not associate (or call them 'my best friend') with people who hurt me beyond repair...

So, today has been tough, it has been a long time since I have felt my world crumble. I feel sick with nerves and worry and anxiety. My head is fucked and useless. But there was no point in staying in crying all day (I chose to do that on the car journey, ha!), so we took the boys to Swansea beach. I never loved Swansea until today... the town area (with all the shops etc.) leaves a lot to be desired, but the beach and coastline is stunning, the area around that is so clean and well looked after, and every person I caught the eye of seemed to have a smile ready. And driving back, I got to see the lovely little houses and shops near the seafront... and that's why Swansea really took my breath away.

I feel so mentally drained and emotionally wounded, so I'm gonna leave it at that for now... but here's some lovely pictures.
