In 1996, a girl with long hair from Canada becomes world wide famous by screaming her rage to a man who broke her heart in the song “You oughta know”:
“And I’m here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It’s not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know”

More than 10 years later, in 2008 Alanis Morrissette writes a song called “Not as we”, singing about her transition from a break up to her new life:
“Day one day one start over again
Step one step one
I’m barely making sense for now
I’m faking it I’m pseudo making it
From scratch begin again but this time I as i
And not as we”

I guess even Alanis Morrissette’s rebellion invevitably achieves equilibrium in time. We all grow up.
You oughta know…
…It definitely takes more courage and maturity to admit one’s insecurity during hard times, instead of faking a total rebellion with a cold heart….oh time is a gentleman, eventually always reveals oneself.
“We become who we are”. No, not Alanis. That’s Nietschze.
And isn’it ironic. Don’t you think?
