Type me, I talked a lot

Yes...I (unfortunately) made a conscious effort to look at the camera more often than I would hold eye contact with an actual person. I feel that may be a major confounding factor. I also made an effort to be a "better" speaker than I usually would, which I understand goes against the objective of eliciting natural expression. So I'm just not sure. I suck lol.

As some further background information: regarding my plans for the future that I discuss in the video, I also have to mention that I've been working at a community center for the past year (after being in grad school). This particular environment--a space where I feel the need to be more emotionally responsive and where I've been surrounded by a lot of social justice advocacy--has changed my daily "inputs" and has had an impact on the combinations of realities that I imagine composing my future.

In rough terms, it's been like Fi bootcamp or something, where I've been surrounded by people who have well-developed codes of personal ethics who aren't afraid to express their feelings about right and wrong. I've often felt like an alien here, but a lot of the ideals and ways of perceiving have rubbed off on me. I want to integrate something of what I've learned here into my more natural ways of operating.

I also realize that, knowing me, a lot of this could change as soon as I'm out of this environment. I'm very easily influenced by where I am at any given time.
