JJV's Offs

Hello everyone!

Welcome to a new opus of "JJV’s Offs"!

"Life is a rose, each petal an illusion and each thorn a reality."

One of my favorite thorns, which has become a conceptual reality for me, is those associations or festival committees that come to you and ask if you'll donate "some of your store's junk" for their raffle or lottery.

Yes, yes, you read that right. All this with a falsely cheerful smile while waiting for your response, or perhaps with some irritation... I couldn't say, because I don't want to get into the heads of these kinds of people and put myself in their shoes, because it seems pretty confusing...^^

So it's a concept that escapes me somewhat, coming to ask for prizes from merchants while belittling their merchandise or their store...^^ Personally, I find it quite intriguing. It happens sometimes, and I insist to these associations that I do not work with or contribute to organizations that do not respect my store...

My beautiful petal, which is my most beautiful illusion, is to believe that people who don't like each other and constantly put others down (even those they just laughed with before) will be able to appreciate people who don't want to hurt others in return...

It must be my somewhat naive side, but I'm working on it so that my good deeds remain for the lovely people of Vaison. I'm learning to distance myself and detach myself from those people who only come for one thing: to try to ruin the store...

These people will no longer receive any reaction from me in the face of their rudeness and lack of respect. Besides, generally, when they see that they get no reaction and that I remain at least minimally polite to them, they end up leaving unhappy. Often slamming the door for a more theatrical side...^^

I no longer intend to waste time or energy on people who aren't worth it because it gives me much more for you. Energy that I use to welcome you with a smile and a kind word, because that's still nicer. ;)

And just because we had a disagreeable person just before you doesn't mean it has to be lovely people like my clients who suffer a bad mood from me because of them later.

So, with these kinds of disagreeable, and sometimes very disrespectful, people, I let it slide because I know the important battles to fight and those that aren't worth it...

Because this type of person is convinced they have the right to treat people like that because the people around them have always let them do it that way... I'm no Don Quixote, I wouldn't fight windmills. I prefer to have the energy and time to dedicate to the store, offering you original games and custom events. Because the most important thing in the end, and that's why I created the store in the first place, is to share good times around games with you. ;)

Good day and good game ;)
