― Lang Leav, Sea of Strangers

“Anything for Love

Fear isn't a reason when it come to love—it's an excuse. Anyone who has ever been in love will tell you that. When it happens, you don't think about the consequences. You'd turn your life upside down to be with that person. You'd do anything for them.”
― Lang Leav, Sea of Strangers

“Crazy Love
Anyone who knew me then would say I loved you far too much. Like a wildfire or the sharp edge of a knife.
Anyone would have told you I stopped being the person I was the second you walked into my life.
They would have said love wasn’t supposed to drive you crazy, make you want to scratch at your skin.
And they were right.
Because there was love and then there was you. ”
― Lang Leav, Sea of Strangers

“Misunderstood
Today I feel small—looked down on and disregarded. My thoughts are of little importance. My words have no bearing on the weight of the world. I am tired of being taken for granted. If only I could get back a fraction of what I give. But my efforts go unnoticed, and my soul keeps wishing to be noticed, to be valued; to be understood.”
― Lang Leav, Sea of Strangers

“If I have learned anything this year, it is that I won't ever be ready for what life throws at me. I won't have the right words when it counts; I won't know what to choose when fate itself is staring me down. But now I know I don't always need to have the right answer.

I've learned I can go on waiting for something, sustained by hope and nothing more - or I can put it aside and shrug my shoulders. Bravely accept the fact that I can't keep my heart safe any more than I can stop love from taking everything from me.

I have learned to stop saying yes when I don't mean it - to live as authentically as I know how. To allow the tips of my fingers to skirt the darkness, as long as I remember to keep my eyes fixed on the light. And as one door opens and another closes, I will move forward with the knowledge that unlike so many others, I have another year ahead of me - another shot at making it all the way around the sun, and a chance to get it right this time around.”
― Lang Leav, Sea of Strangers

“Strings
Some people are made like the string of a kite, loose and free, like a bird riding the wind. Some people are made like the hard, brittle rope of a mountaineer, strong, steady, infallible. And then there are the ones who are like the strings of a violin, delicate and ethereal. Strung tight and taut, ready to snap. But when they sing, there is no other sound more haunting or beautiful.”
― Lang Leav, Sea of Strangers

“You came into my life and made everything else feel like a rehearsal. Love always came to me as a question, but with you, it felt like an answer. I didn’t know I had put up walls until you brought them crashing down. I couldn’t figure out why love was different with you until I realized it hadn’t been love with anyone else.”
― Lang Leav, Sea of Strangers

“Love looks pretty on you. Makes you soft, tender, proud.
Makes you sit up and take notice. Gives you a home to set
down your things.
What a blessing it is, to have music and dancing and poetry.
What a gift it is, to look at someone and say,
I’m so happy to have found you—at last, at last, at long, long
last—you’re here.”
― Lang Leav, Love Looks Pretty on You

“Idols

You put her on a pedestal. Love her, adore her, crown her
as your queen. Then you watch and wait, for a slip, a split
second when her guard is down. You would tear her into
pieces just to claim a fragment of her story.
No one can be perfect all the time. Why do you expect her to
be any different? Why is she held to an impossible standard?
Why do you take it so personally when she contradicts the
version of herself that exists only in your head?
You think you know her, that she owes you somehow. That
her existence is only relative to yours. But she is her own
person. She lives and breathes, she hopes and dreams. She has
a life, a love, a family, a purpose. And she doesn’t owe anyone
a damn thing.”
― Lang Leav, Love Looks Pretty on You

“I have been quiet lately, I know. Not because I don’t have anything to say, but because I have too much.”

“Loyalty

The only ones
they can turn
against you
are those
who were never
with you.”

“The most beautiful thing is not when you learn to live
without something; it’s the moment you realize you never
needed it in the first place.”
― Lang Leav, Love Looks Pretty on You

“I believe in forgiveness, in wishing well those who have hurt me. But I’m going to make you an exception. Because the truth is, I hope to God you suffer every heartache you put me through. I hope when the darkness comes for you, it will hit you twice as hard as it hit me. And I hope you will curse my name, knowing I was the one who sent it.”
― Lang Leav, Love Looks Pretty on You

“The Friendship Bond

There is that one friend whom you no longer speak to, who
is no longer part of your life. If you saw them across the
street, you would turn your head away and they would do
the same.
But if they ever called you in the middle of the night, you
would be there for them, sure as the sun. And you know that
if you were the one to make that call, no matter how much
time has passed or how distant you’ve become, they would
be there for you.”
― Lang Leav, Love Looks Pretty on You

“How many people have we known all our lives, and never once
loved. How many people have we loved, and never known.”
― Lang Leav, Love Looks Pretty on You

“I don’t think it’s right, telling someone to stop needing somebody else. Have you ever felt the twist of loneliness in the pit of your stomach? Sat in silence with nothing to look forward to? The last thing you should do is tell someone they can fix it on their own. That no one else can fix it for them. Believe me, sometimes all it takes is someone else”
― Lang Leav, Love Looks Pretty on You

“Things are coming you can’t even imagine. If you knew
what they were, you would forgive this one injustice, this
one catastrophe that has brought your life to a screeching,
screaming halt. The world will turn for you again, and when
it does, it will take you anywhere you want.”
― Lang Leav, Love Looks Pretty on You

“Let her be herself. Or she will be somebody else’s.”
― Lang Leav, Love Looks Pretty on You

“How do I thank my mother
for giving me the life
she desperately wanted
for herself?”
― Lang Leav, Love Looks Pretty on You

“I know love because I am in love. Because of how long I’ve loved. Because of the man I love.

Love used to be a beautiful mirage, a moonbeam on the water I tried to cup in my hands. Now it is a grand oak tre, tried and tested, roots driving deep down into the earth. I have a love that takes me across oceans. A love that tells me I am home, no matter where I am in the world.”
― Lang Leav, Love Looks Pretty on You

“Love and loss share the same unmade bed.”
― Michael Faudet, Dirty Pretty Things

“I suddenly realised it's no coincidence the two middle letters of life are if.”
― Michael Faudet, Dirty Pretty Things
