00:00 You've probably seen my face before.
00:05 I'm everywhere.
00:07 You see my image on televisions, billboards, magazines, and t-shirts.
00:13 You most definitely know who I am.
00:17 But I don't.
00:21 My name is Angel, but you probably knew that already.
00:25 Many of my songs play on the radios of your cars, speakers in the mall, and sometimes
00:30 in the cafes.
00:31 I'm praised, and I'm told that my talent is one in a billion.
00:36 But I don't believe that.
00:39 Who is Angel?
00:41 How could he be everywhere and not even know who he is?
00:45 Is he what everyone tells him he is?
00:47 Is he brilliant, gifted, shallow, intelligent, adept, horrible, nauseating, proficient, disgusting,
00:54 accomplished, etc.?
00:58 I've been told who I am so many times, I don't believe it anymore.
01:03 All I have is my art.
01:05 But that doesn't exactly describe me fully.
01:09 At least to me.
01:12 I don't know who I am.
01:18 Do I like coffee?
01:22 So that's a start.
01:28 I've made a promise to myself.
01:31 I've promised that outside of work, no matter how taxing, draining, and exploitative it
01:35 is, by any means possible, I will find myself.
01:39 So far I've learned that I'm a pretty good listener.
01:44 My apartment neighbor says that I'm very generous, and she's happy that I listen to her stories.
01:49 I've learned that I'm not cold-hearted, and I'm kind to the people around me.
02:01 It's slow, but I'm beginning to accept and love myself outside of media attention.
02:07 I think I'm beginning to rediscover who I once was.
02:12 I want to feel alive again.
02:15 I want to know who Angel is again.
02:20 I think I'm getting closer.
