Yes, the costs are huge ofcourse! That's why I always recommend people to save up for the next year, it can be done by adding Hive or HBD into savings, just a percentage of your blog earnings :-)
I'm sure you're preparing?
There's not much to prepare, it's in my country, a 30 minute train ride from my home :-)
How have you been lately?
Very good and very busy! I read and write so much that I have no energy left for adding or reading more words on Hive unfortunately :-( Don't really know how to balance that out better, but hey, it's for a good goal :-)
How have you been yourself?
I understand, sometimes it becomes difficult, especially when other life activities keeps us really busy. Hahaha not to worry, I believe Hive is always going to be here.
I have been doing okay, lost my mom, had to bury her, moved out my aunt's house to look for somewhere to live. It's been regular life for me.
I'm so sorry for you loss @josediccus :'( That's heartbreaking. Big hug for you <3
Thank you, there'll be many HF for sure, I think it's inevitable that I'll attend some one day.
