La mia storia - Il Drago di Sem

My story

My name is Sem, and my life has been a journey of growth, redemption, and, above all, reconciliation. Since I was a child, I have experienced profound grief over my mother's untimely death, a void that has remained with me for a long time, shaping my childhood and youth. As I grew older, that sadness became a constant shadow, pushing me to seek refuge in a marriage that didn't represent me. But despite the difficulties, two wonderful daughters came into my life, who became my brightest reflection, the strength that pushed me not to give up.

One day, I found myself at a crossroads: continue living with suffering and fear, or choose to take charge of my life and face it with courage. In that moment of searching, I discovered a story that deeply touched me: the story of a princess held captive by a dragon.
Tired of waiting for a prince to save her, the princess decided to face the dragon alone, taking up her sword and crying, "I'm not afraid of you anymore!"
The dragon's words, "Why do you stay here so long?", made me reflect. I understood that, like the princess, I had a dragon to face, but it wasn't an enemy to fight. My dragon was sadness, disappointment, and the fear of not being enough. And it was in that moment that I realized a fundamental truth: I didn't need to fight my dragon. I had to learn to make peace with it.

And so, on my journey of rebirth, I decided to no longer run away, but to recognize my dragon as part of me. Not an enemy to be destroyed, but a presence that had taught me lessons of strength and resilience. There, finally, I found peace with my past and with myself. No longer a prisoner, but aware of my inner power.
During this journey, I met the love of my life, who encouraged me to explore my passions, to believe in my worth, and to transform my pain into a resource. Together, we built an authentic connection that gave me the strength to face my fears and free myself from the invisible chains that held me back.
It was then that I began creating my Japamalas for Love, unique pieces, crafted with intention and passion. Each Japamala has become a symbol of my journey of transformation, of the power of love, and of the courage to make peace with everything that has shaped me. Each creation is my tribute to rebirth, forgiveness, and acceptance.

Over time, I understood that the dragon had never been a threat, but a guide. The true prison was my belief that I had no power to change. The keys to my freedom had always been in my hands. And so, I decided to create "The Dragon of Sem" to share my experience and inspire others to make peace with their dragons, to recognize their inner strength, and to rewrite their own stories.

"The Dragon of Sem" is not just a name: it is the symbol of a transformation, of a courage that comes from making peace with what we fear. Every bracelet, every Japamala I create, is my message for anyone who feels they must face their own dragon: true freedom comes when we stop fighting what has shaped us and embrace our path with all its challenges.

"Change begins within us, and the courage to face our fears is the first step toward freedom."
