"Your feelings are honest and normal - but not forever...
We are in the furnace of pain to become gold, not to melt away to nothing."

Retha
16 May : 21:00
"There's always;
a little truth behind every: 'just kidding'
a little knowledge behind every 'I don't know'
a little emotion behind every 'I don't care'
and a little pain behind every 'it's okay'..."

Retha

"The best kind of friend, is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word.
And then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you ever had."

Retha
15 May : 07:02
Wat is 'n huis sonder 'n moeder?
Wat is 'n moeder sonder haar kinders?

Retha
10 May : 11:28

Retha
10 May : 00:58

Retha

"Its not what you gather, but what you scatter that tells what kind of life you lived."

Retha
07 May : 00:05
"There are things you don't want to happen, but you have to accept it.
There are things you don't want to know, but you have to learn them.
And there are people you can't live without, but you have to let them go."

Retha

"It is always easier to stay silent and smile than explain everything you really feel."

Retha
04 May : 20:26
"Always put yourself in others' shoes.
If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person too."
