Fall of 2012, I was a sophomore in college and I have wonderful memories blasting 22, WANEGBT and IKYWT with my best friends. Red was definitely the soundtrack to my life at the time.

December of 2012 was a really traumatic time in my life. I had my first big heartbreak and then I was SA at a frat party when I was visiting my friend at her college. The next morning when I was driving home, I was kind of numb, but I remember I was listening to my Red CD and it felt so comforting.

I felt so broken at that time in my life. I felt like a crumpled up piece of paper lying there. I didn't tell anyone what happened to me for several months, so listening to the songs made me feel less alone.

I've been really excited for the Red rerecording because after seeking therapy and working through the trauma and shame from that time in my life, its almost like I can see how far I've come and how different and healed I feel now.
