It connected me to people who felt the same as I did when I was writing the songs. It was kind of a risky experiment to put my most vulnerable self out there and see what happened and I'm so glad I did it. It's been five years now and my life's trajectory has completely shifted because of it. I'm so excited to be able to tour this record again and honour it and the people who fell in love with the record."[12]
