Parental Controls
Whether you give yourself the option to choose who you are, instead of just defaulting to how you were raised.
Alanis Morissette and the Weight of Being Too Much
Parental Controls is about choosing who you are instead of defaulting to how others defined you. Alanis Morissette spent decades having the music industry, the press, and romantic partners tell her that her natural self — loud, layered, emotionally complex — needed to be reduced. The shift was her finally choosing her own definition of herself over the one that had been installed by her environment. She stopped running her identity through their filter.
