Whether you give yourself the option to choose who you are, instead of just defaulting to how you were raised.

Carlos Perez and the Armor He Can't Take Off

High fit

Parental Controls ask whether you're defaulting to how you were raised or actually choosing who you are. Carlos Perez was shaped from infancy by revolution, exile, and a culture of hypervigilance. He never had the option to be the open, defenseless kid his son gets to be. Watching his son move through the world without armor is the first time Carlos really sees that gap — and begins to question whether his own defaults were chosen or just inherited from circumstances.
