1 " Drew is the opening song on my favorite album. He’s the song that everyone loves, the song that draws me in and makes me want to listen to the whole album without stopping. He’s the catchy song with the great hook, fancy guitar solo, and soaring vocals. But Shane … Shane’s the hidden track. He’s the song I don’t listen to until I’ve devoured the whole album. He’s that quiet song with the unbelievable melody. The song that makes me understand myself a bit better. Once I discover a truly special hidden track, I never get sick of it. "
― Jennie Wexler , Where It All Lands
2 " You can’t be certain that one decision will mess everything up. Each new decision takes us on a different path, that’s all. "
3 " Some things in life feel more real when you share them with someone. "
4 " I’m scared everything’s going to get taken away from me. I’ve had to leave behind every friend I’ve ever made. I want one thing to last, to be forever.”“It doesn’t work that way. Nothing lasts. It’s about living it all while it’s happening; not stressing about when it’s going to end. And trust me, the right people will stick with you, no matter what. "
5 " It’s funny what the mind chooses to remember, what stories we tell ourselves. "
6 " But expecting isn’t experiencing. Expecting still has a sliver of hope attached. Experiencing is definite, no rewinding, no last-minute script change. "
7 " Sometimes we don’t choose what happens to us, baby. Sometimes life hands us a new plan. "
8 " I also know who I would choose if I had to pick. But now I’m unsure if I ever really knew either of them. I’m unsure if I want to choose. But when you fall for someone is it ever really a choice? "
9 " If you want something, go after it. Nothing’s going to happen if you sit around and wait. "
10 " No doubt about it, she’s good. And this piece, it’s technically perfect, but something’s missing. It’s like she’s playing to get it right, to get an A on some test that doesn’t exist. But that’s not what music’s about. Music isn’t like scoring points in a basketball game or knowing all the answers to a pop quiz. It’s pouring all your emotions into an instrument and letting that instrument express every inch of you. That’s real music – the stuff that makes you feel something. "
11 " Just remember, all that stuff from your past happened. And all those friends and favourite places, they’re with you, even if you’re not physically with them. They make you who you are. And that’s everything.”“But what if I want everything to stay the same?”“Nothing ever stays the same. It’s about living in what’s happening right now. Really living. Not wishing for the past or worrying about when things are about to change. "
12 " Shitty things just happen. We try to make sense of it to make ourselves feel better. To attach some sort of meaning to the darkness. But sometimes there is no bigger meaning. There’s no why. There’s only what is. "
13 " Do our choices even matter? We all walk around thinking we have control over our lives. But in the end, we bounce around like a pinball in a machine, landing wherever gravity, and whatever other forces we want to believe in, take us. "
14 " Some call it fortune, some call it fate. It’s neither. Every moment led to this, and this chance would lead to more moments, all stringing together a life. We chase every dream and reach for every imagined finish line. But it’s not about the end. The happily ever after is in the living. "
