The Start Of a Dream

So, a new year is here!
Time passes, and I am falling more and more in love with this work, with the community, with all of it.

Having a store isn't easy; I never thought it would be, but I never imagined what was going to happen. All the experiences I've been getting after opening this store have been beyond awesome!
I've always thought about doing something like this, starting a "blog"-like segment for the store where I go over everything, learning something new from the ground up —the tournaments, the people, the games—and I think it's finally time.

I struggled a bit thinking about how to start this; it wasn't easy, but why not start from the beginning?

During the start of 2022, I was struggling a bit. I was just letting life happen to me and not doing much of my own; I was just letting time pass, but I really wanted to do something, create something, anything!

Then, I found out about Wixoss's English release. Funny thing? I remember watching the first season of the anime when it came out. I really enjoyed it. With some googling, I found out the anime had a card game, but it was in Japanese. Some years later, I would think about collecting it, but with no idea how to order from Japan, I never really picked it up.
So I started looking into it, the English release, discovered the "Card Games" Discord server and community, started learning, got a starter deck, and there it began, my love for the game, in no small part because of the community; everyone was really welcoming, always helping even if it was a stupid question.
With all this, seeing how fun the game was and how nice the community was, I just wanted to do something, to give something back, so I started a Youtube channel, started interviewing some players, did deck profiles, and uploaded gameplay.
But getting cards in Europe wasn't the easiest. There were some people selling singles over on Facebook groups and such, but there wasn't really a storefront that we could head to to get our singles or sealed products.
It took me a while, a few months to be honest, but I was finally able to make a decision and say "I'm opening a Store!", and, this is basically where our "Story" beggins, this decision changed a lot in my life, but all to the better, and I'm loving this new me, that was finally able to make a decision!

I don't want to bore everyone to death with a ton of text, so I think I will leave the first one here. I want to start documenting our experience month by month, there is a bit to catch up on since we have been open for like half a year already.

Already?? 

I hope you enjoy the reading and are interested in our development. Look forward to our next one, where we will go through the first steps we took to finally open our store!

Thank You All!
