The decision is finally made...
I won't be attending Hivefest even though all signals seemed to have go. And reading the Telegram group with all of those people arriving is bringing me a crapload of FOMO with it.
A big fat booooh!!!
So what happened?
Remember all of those cool shots from the sky from me being in an airplane and taking all kinds of snaps there just recently? That was exactly the reason. Because I have mentioned before that I really don't like flying, and the fact of having to do that by myself with all of these storms around was really not helping at all.
So the storms are back or are still there and I was noticing that I didn't have the courage to book the flight, even though I had the funds lined up. That is the signal that I was procastination the decision, and of course that has a reason.
I didn't feel like going... And once you have that feeling nagging on you.. maybe it is time to listen to it. If I had had more time, I would have made a nice train trip out of it in a multi day travel, but being stuck in between working days didn't really make that work out.
And once I said the decision out loud, it felt a lot better. Also with all of this procastinating the tickets and hotels hadn't gotten any cheaper and that was also one of the things that started to come into play.
Now since I had taken the time off already I will be doing some other fun stuff, so that is all good and it will surely will also be super nice.
But the pictures coming along of people having a good time, the drinks in the sand, the ocean and the old town. Yeah, it surely feels like a bummer that I will not be able to attend.
Because Hivefest is damn fun! Likeminded stuff with likeminded people in a new city at the end of summer, what is there not to like? But hey, gotta make the decisions reasonable, and this one didn't feel like that.
So yeah, I will be voting all of your posts of nice stuff passing by and pretending like I was there as well.
Have a blast guys! And drink one for me at the #beersaturday pubcrawl, because that is the moment where I will miss you all most!
