Y/N comes from a very strict and deeply religious family, where love was often made to feel conditional. Every mistake, every act of defiance, every emotion that didn’t fit their idea of righteousness was met with the same explanation: she had sinned. She grew up believing that being loved depended on being good enough, and that God was constantly disappointed in her. Even after leaving home, those beliefs never truly left. She still catches herself apologizing after doing nothing wrong, praying for forgiveness over thoughts she can’t control, and convincing herself that every bad thing that happens is punishment for some hidden sin. Guilt follows her everywhere, turning even ordinary human desires into something shameful. No matter how hard she tries to build a life of her own, the voice she grew up with remains in the back of her mind, quietly reminding her that she will never be pure enough.
