I was a child when it started, the silence, the abandonment, the things no one believed. For years I wore masks, played roles, and stayed quiet. But not anymore.
Each episode is a piece of what I’ve survived, the pain, the loneliness, the soft things that saved me.
This isn’t just my story. It’s the sound of survival.
If you’ve ever felt invisible or broken… I hope you find yourself here.
🕯️ Content may be heavy. Please listen with care.
This is the part of the story where I stand up. Not healed, not perfect, but whole enough to speak. I reflect on everything it took to survive, and the strange beauty in still being here. This isn’t a goodbye. It’s a beginning. If you’ve carried pain, silence, or shame, I hope you’ll walk with me.
I may not have the best advice but I’ll always listen and I’ll always be here. I’m always here, all you have to do is reach. Send me an email japanesemythology500@gmail.com

EP 7- The soft things that saved me
Somewhere along the line, I started to notice small things — soft things — that didn’t hurt. A voice. A melody. A corner of the internet where I didn’t have to pretend. In this episode, I share how I found my voice, how I started creating, and how “Fantasy Wife” became more than a persona — she became my breath.

EP 6-Every smile I learned to wear was a lie
When no one sees you, you learn how to become whoever they’ll accept. In this episode, I talk about the masks I wore to survive — the obedient girl, the strong one, the one who never made noise. But underneath, I was unraveling. Maybe you’ve done that too. Maybe you’re still doing it.

EP-5 Lonely doesn’t even cover it
After the fire, there was only silence. Not the peaceful kind, the kind that presses in. The kind that makes you question if you even exist. I speak on the loneliness that followed, the shame that lingered, and the hollow ache of having no one to run to. If you’ve ever felt like the world moved on without you, I think you’ll hear yourself here.

EP 4-The fire they lit burned
This is where the story gets darker. The accusations didn’t stop. Neither did the punishments. In this episode, I talk about the aftermath — the spiritual condemnation, the prayers meant to “fix” me, and the quiet agony of being treated like something evil. This is where they almost broke me. Almost.

EP 3-They called me a witch, I was just hurting
As a young adult, I wasn’t dangerous. I was just different. But to them, different was enough. This episode peels back the curtain on the fear, the spiritual accusations, the betrayal from women who were meant to shelter me. I wasn’t casting spells. I was trying to survive in a world that decided I was cursed.

EP 1-Growing up in the shadow of her marriage
This episode begins where everything should’ve felt safe, childhood. I talk about the warmth I once knew, the memories that still make me smile… and how it all started to slip away. When my mother married him, I lost more than her attention, I lost her presence. This is the part of the story where I stopped living and started surviving.

(Intro) Okay, here goes
Okay. Here goes.
No script. No filter.
Just… me. Finally saying the things I’ve shoved down for years.
Some of it’s ugly. Some of it’s confusing.
I don’t even know if I’m ready to talk about all this, but I’m doing it anyway.
If you’re here, just… stay.
Content Warning:
This podcast contains personal stories involving childhood trauma, abandonment, emotional neglect, sexual abuse, and spiritual manipulation. Some episodes include mentions of suicidal thoughts and graphic emotional experiences.
I don’t share these things lightly.
There are no shock tactics here, just the truth, spoken in my own words.
Please take care of yourself while listening.
Pause if it gets too heavy. Skip what you need to.
Your heart matters more than finishing an episode.
🕯️ This space is tender, but it’s also raw. Enter softly.
