Reeva Steenkamp @reevasteenkamp 11 Nov 2012
They said. Reeva baby use your head. But I chose to use my heart instead.
She departed for Jamaica on 12 November and returned on 25 November.
25 Nov 2012: “The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are strong at the broken places.” Wise words for an amazing person @OscarPistorius
28 Nov 2012:
When someone makes a big mistake & is evidently wrong but turns it around to make you feel like the wrongdoer. That.
3 Dec 2012:
I'm so disappointed in myself today, more than anyone else. I never learn from the past. How do you grow if you never learn?
6 Dec 2012: Wondering what my stalker is up to? Kinda miss him lurking around tonight …
10 Dec 2012: Great gym session with @gi_myers

Oscar Pistorius @OscarPistorius 11 Dec 2012: Everything happens for a reason. Practice some faith in yourself and others. Pray and trust that His will shall prevail.
15 Dec 2012: Being around this bridal party makes me appreciate my friends & look forward to the day I get married to the man of my dreams.
19 Dec 2012: Raise your hand if 2012 was a crazy *advertiser censored* year for you. You learnt hard lessons. You got hurt. You survived. You're the future king of 2013.
20 Dec 2012: Dear boys of today. Let's drop our handbags and pick up our balls. Sincerely, the women of yesterday, today and tomorrow

25 Dec 2012: We have a problem @OscarPistorius pic.twitter.com/ugUZYxrY
26 Dec 2012: You truly are the devil reincarnated.
26 Dec 2012: OK. But where ARE you????
27 Dec 2012:
In 2013 I will speak my mind. Walk where my feet dream to tread. Share company with those who make my heart smile. Make my dreams a reality.
28 Dec 2012: Planning a wild week of debauchery with @Iamfomo in London next year!!! Yes please and dankie wow.
Isn’t this interesting. Reeva was already planning a trip to London and not with OP. “dankie” means “thank you”. Iamfomo is one of her girlfriends as I discovered in an earlier tweet the same day.
29 Dec 2012:
I am who I am by the grace of God. Nothing more. Nothing less. If He can love me as I am, then so should you I guess. - Me
31 Dec 2012: I've learnt many valuable lessons this year. Thank you 2012 for the education!
Above all, "trust your inner voice" stands out for me. #2013 (Why didn't she listen to that voice?)
16 Jan 2012:
Out of every misery, you WILL find your rainbow. A lesson. A truth. Nothing is a wasted experience if you look with willing eyes!
17 Jan 2012:
"You built your walls so high, no one could climb it. But I'm gonna try boy ... Would you let me see beneath your beautiful ..."
19 Jan 2013 – Whatsapp from Reeva: (Edited for brevity) “I wasn't a stripper or a ho. I certainly have never been a prude and I've had fun but all innocent and without harmful repercussions.”
27 Jan 2013 – the very long Whatsapp message fromReeva: He ruined her best friend’s engagement, picked on her incessantly, denied she was flirting, felt sick that he’d made a scene, complained of his jealousy, mentioned his tantrums, she’s scared of him sometimes, he snaps at her … It just goes on and on and on.
His pathetic response was all about him. He was sick, tired, she left his side to talk to another guy, “I was 30 minutes late and I know you don't like it when I drive fast but then you could've asked Gina to drive herself so that we wouldn't have to”, she should have whispered in his ear if she didn’t like the song playing, he was upset, had a headache, and apologized for criticizing her for putting on an accent.
28 Jan 2013:
Sometimes your blessings lay beneath a mountain of tribulations. Be patient and see them through. You will appreciate them far more!
1 Feb 2013: He certainly doesn't need more followers but he's beautiful to look at & says some smart stuff too

When it takes you an entire day to try and compose a fitting response, a lacking one at that, rather leave it. It's just substandard.
8 Feb 2013 – Whatsapp message from Reeva: (Edited for brevity) I didn't think you would criticize me for doing that especially not so loudly so that others could hear. I might joke around and be all Tom boyish at times but I regard myself as a lady and I didn't feel like one tonight after the way you treated me when we left. I'm a person too and I appreciate that you invited me out tonight and I realize that you get harassed but I am trying my best to make you happy and I feel as though you sometimes never are, no matter the effort I put in. I can't be attacked by outsiders for dating you and be attacked by you -- the one person I deserve protection from.
8 Feb 2013:
Before you lift a pen or raise your voice to criticize, acknowledge people's circumstances. You don't know their struggles. Their journey.
9 Feb 2013: Excited for a chilled Saturday evening in with good food, movies, popcorn, frozen yoghurt & my boo.
9 Feb 2013: I woke up in a happy safe home this morning. Not everyone did. Speak out against the rape of individuals…
13 Feb 2013: It's a beautiful day! Make things happen. Starting my day off with a yummy healthy shake from my boo
I can’t help feeling that a lot of the tweets were about him.
Bang … bang, bang, bang. A beautiful, caring young woman with so much to give, kindhearted, generous and looking forward to getting married one day gone forever.
