The way early beliefs about demons turned into silent but heavy burdens of guilt and self-doubt speaks to the subtle, yet powerful influence of formative teachings.

In my own writing, I explore similar themes of internalized shame and the journey toward self-acceptance, and I appreciate how you’ve articulated the layered nature of these fears. Keep sharing these stories they bring light to the quiet battles so many of us face.
