After Time Stood Still

Hi, my name is Retta—and this is my story.
A story of love, loss, and learning to breathe again.
A heartbreak cracked me wide open, and the pieces didn’t fall back the same.
So I started writing. Not because I had the answers, but because I needed to feel something other than pain.

Every day, I show up here—messy, honest, and healing out loud.
Come along with me.
Let’s see where this goes.
Maybe we’ll both find something worth holding on to.

The Fall

The Echo

The Confirmation

The Day I Said Happy Birthday

The Quietest Goodbye

The Math Doesn’t Add Up
