1:13.6	Your eyes can be made more beautiful in seconds. Advertisers, social media, books
1:20.3	and movies, even your friends and family. I felt my life was empty. There had no
1:25.9	meaning. And most of all, yourself. So, who are you? I want you to take a moment

1:49.9	remember them. Mine would be explorer of consciousness,
1:55.1	street poet and vagabond. But are these really me? At the end, we'll revisit our
2:02.8	adjectives and see if anything has changed. You're not solely what's coming out of
