Sea of Strangers QUOTES

Sea of Strangers QUOTES

1 " I look for you, the way I was taught to look both ways when crossing the road. Uptight and wary, bracing myself for something I know could break me. "

― Lang Leav , Sea of Strangers

2 " I understand that I am both the architect and the tenant of my destruction. I can feel it so acutely like an ache in my chest, knowing ultimately that I am locked into a chain of events that I cannot stop, an outcome I cannot alter, feeling at once helpless yet hopelessly awed by the power of my part in this beautiful, brutal expression of the Universe. "

― Lang Leav , Sea of Strangers

3 " 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

4 " Meant to Be

If they were meant to be in your life, nothing cover ever make them leave. If they weren't, nothing in the world could make them stay. "

― Lang Leav , Sea of Strangers

5 " Somehow, there is a sense of comfort in knowing nothing will ever hit me quite as hard again. Nothing will ever be as beautiful, but neither will anything hurt as much. "

― Lang Leav , Sea of Strangers

6 " My Life

I will celebrate this life of mine, with or without you. The moon does not need the sun to tell her she is already whole. "

― Lang Leav , Sea of Strangers

7 " Take Back Your Power

Greet the world with no expectation.
Love as though you have never been hurt or betrayed.
Let go of the ones who take so much from you
yet offer nothing in return.

This is how you take back your power. "

― Lang Leav , Sea of Strangers

8 " Writing

There is one thing you should know about writing. It will inevitably lead you to dark places as you cannot write authentically about something unless you have lived it. However, you should always bear in mind that you are only a tourist and must always remain one. You were blessed with the gift of words, in order to bring a voice to suffering. But do not be too indulgent despite how addictive sadness can be, how easy it is to get lost down the path of self-destruction. You must emerge from adversity, scathed but victorious to tell your story, and, in turn, light the way for others. "

― Lang Leav , Sea of Strangers

9 " Strength

Don't let them tell you that your pain should be confined to the past, that it bears no relevance to the present. Your pain is part of who you are.

They don't know how strong that makes you. "

― Lang Leav , Sea of Strangers

10 " Where It Hurts

There are days when the melancholy settles on you like a sudden change in weather. The kind of sadness that is intangible. Like the presence of an ache where you can't pinpoint exactly where it hurts, you just know it does. "

― Lang Leav , Sea of Strangers

11 " Thoughts on Letting Go

It's possible to move on from someone even if your heart refuses to let go. And it's not something you need to consciously do. It will just happen gradually over time. The ache will always be there, but the intensity will fade, and you'll find other beautiful things to fill your days with. "

― Lang Leav , Sea of Strangers

What could have been,

― Lang Leav , Sea of Strangers

16 " No Longer Mine

It should be my right to mourn someone who has yet to leave this world but no longer wants to be part of mine. "

― Lang Leav , Sea of Strangers

17 " The greatest injustice I have suffered has come under the pretense of love. "

my mother was a home. "
