Full Moon & Transformation

The full moon is just a few days away again. In the month of August, we’ll have two full moons, which is also called The Blue Moon. It is not often that we get to have Blue Moon. Funny enough, the full moon appeared on the 1st of August and it will appear on 31st of August. The latter moon will be full exactly at 13.58 GMT/UTC (if in daylight saving time, add one hour).

As the Moon goes through its cycle, I personally feel the effects of it. This month has been quite emotional. This month has also been quite a bit about financials. Normally, I would get freaked out when dealing, talking or even thinking about money but for some reason it so appears that I’m having more of a positive association in regards to money. Why the sudden yet subtle change?

Another interesting thing that’s been going on personally with me, are the sensations in my body. They are hard to explain, and hard to talk about to me since I’m afraid that certain people would think of me as being crazy, which I’m quite tired of. I’m being subtle about it as I want to say it out loud but don’t want to be too loud. Anyways, the sensations that I’ve had already this week has been otherworldly, to say the least! First off, I’ve been feeling highly off lately for a good while now. I’ve felt as though I’m sort of watching someone acting like me and doing the things she’s being asked of. I haven’t really felt like myself.

Sometime last week, I got the strangest feeling, which I felt very strongly. I felt my Crown Chakra move on top of my head, it felt as if I was being connected with something or someone. It came out of nowhere and left as quick as it came. I’ve never felt that before nor since that one day. This Monday, was a total disaster overall, my head was spinning quite noticeably – more so than before. Later in the afternoon, as I laid down in my bed, the spinning of my head continued, only now with something strange happening at the top part of my tummy, right where Solar Plexus Chakra is, as well as around my heart. These aren’t any negative feelings or sensations, so I wasn’t scared or anything. I’m more curious as to what it might be that is going on within me.

I find little hints of this month’s second full moon being about finances, sexuality and expanding to higher frequencies – all of which, I can relate to.

Below are some excerpts of an article I’ve come across about the full moon and how astrology will affect our feelings in the coming month. You can read the original article here or the full article by Lucas 2012 Infos here.

Have you noticed how chaotic the energy has become? There is lots of drama out there. The reason the energy is so chaotic is because we are moving into a high frequency world. We are in the Photon Belt, which is a band of high frequency energy we move through every 13,000 years. Planet X is behind our sun right now and can be seen if you take a picture of the sun with a digital camera. We are lining up with the Galactic Center, which is composed of very high frequency energy, and our magnetic field is way down because of the magnetic shift we are going through. Every time solar energy hits the magnetic field I feel the energy. I believe this is why so many people are freaking out. They can’t handle this high frequency energy and it affects their brain and they do crazy things. The good news is that most of us are becoming great beings of light. This energy has helped us release our negative programming.

The North node is now in Scorpio and will be there for a year and a half. Scorpio is ruled by Pluto, which rules birth, death, and transformation. The North node was in Sagittarius for the past year and a half and that is a fire sign. Scorpio is a water sign and it rules the hidden stuff within us. This hidden stuff is going to be pulled out of mass consciousness big time in the next year and a half. Everything hidden will come to the surface to be looked at and changed into light. Others will ascend and end up on a much higher frequency world. This is what the Bible talks about when it says there will be the separation of the wheat from the chaff. We might just fall asleep and wake up in a different world.

The south node is in Taurus right now and that sign rules money. The south node is symbolic of the past. Is it finally time for those who have lived on next to nothing for most of their lives to start having money? The word money adds up to the number nine. All numbers have a positive and negative vibration. For a long time we have manifested the negative lesson of money. The word love adds up to nine. Is it time for us to start loving money, and asking it to come into our vibration?

We are in the year of the water Dragon in Chinese astrology, and we are moving into the emotional water energy from the north node in Scorpio. The moon’s node is a very important point in space and it has a big effect on Earth. And we are in the year of the Storm, ruled by Pluto, in the Mayan Dreamspell Calendar. We will also still experience fire energy for several years because of Uranus being in Aries for another six plus years. Uranus is still making an aspect to Pluto, which is the transformer. Pluto rules Scorpio so we will feel a lot of transforming energy in the year to come.

Now, let’s talk about Saturn, the karmic planet, or on the positive level the planet that brings us rewards when we are ready for them. Saturn has been in Libra for the past two and a half years and Libra rules relationships. Have you had problems with relationships in the past couple of years? These can be personal relationships or friendships. On a personal level do you have a new relationship, or do you know someone who does? Or have you recently broken away from an old relationship? I know several people who have had challenges with relationships in the last couple of years. It takes Saturn approximately 29 years to go through every sign of the zodiac. By the end of October Saturn will be moving into Scorpio. This will bring a different energy and the Earth and the people on it will go through much transformation.

How can there be peace in the world if we do not have peace in our hearts? Every time we get angry, or we have an argument with someone, we are sending out the energy of dissension. The political energy is very intense right now with lots of arguing and negative energy. What a drama for the world to watch. If we are going to argue and complain then we are not helping the idea of peace. “You must learn to end the wars in your world by ending them in your mind” That is a quote from Barbara Marciniak. This is why we have the song ‘Let there be peace in the world and let it begin with me’.

We are again moving into the time of large Earth events. Right after the sun moves into Libra on September 22nd it will start making a square to Pluto and Uranus. Some water areas have started to dry up because of drought, but I think there will be more activity affecting that area of a water nature soon. This water event might be activated by an earthquake off the west coast of South America. We are still being affected by the Capricorn/Cancer eclipses that happened in 2011. Uranus is over Alaska and Hawaii, and the opposite side is the European nations. No wonder those countries have been in chaos.

Right now the Sun is moving through the sign of Virgo, the goddess. I would like to wish happy birthday to all the people born in the sign of Virgo, including myself. The sign Virgo rules the area off the African coast where a lot of the hurricanes start. I find it interesting that when we first heard about hurricane Isaac they said it was heading toward Tampa where the Republican convention will be occurring next week. I just heard they are evacuating people from Key West. Today I heard the hurricane is coming into New Orleans.

We do live in interesting times and I think they will get more interesting soon. We are in fast-forward transformation. It is definitely time to think with your heart and manifest love in your creations.

All of a sudden things are making more sense to me, everything that is happening at the current moment is because of the frequency change that is happening. This year is a year of transformation, and I knew it as soon as the year changed. What I didn’t realize is the pace of the world, things have happened really fast. It was only yesterday when the year changed, was it not? Regardless it’s been a year full of emotions, challenges, and adventures as well as overcoming the obstacles and insecurities. No one knows what the future will really bring, but I suggest trying to take on a positive view of the world. I know I am willing to make the change and the effort in following my heart, my Spirit, my True Self. Somehow, finding the patience to see things with love. I have already changed my attitude from living through my past, or worrying of tomorrow – I’m living in the now, making sure I don’t miss a beat of these highly interesting times we are currently living in. I’m paying so much more attention to how I feel in that particular moment, even in my dreams. The more I pay attention to it, the more of these incredible sensations I feel.

Patience

As I’ve slightly gone on the obsessive side of things today, reading about Twin Flames and wondering where mine might be, the Universe sent a message to me indirectly through someone.

PATIENCE

Archangel Jophiel: Your dreams are blooming more rapidly than you realize. Still, they need nurturing and patience.

It takes time for a seedling to push through the ground and mature into a flower-bearing plant. Yet, each moment of a plant’s life cycle can bring joy to those who notice its beauty. In the same way, enjoy the process of realizing your dreams. Slow down and feel gratitude, as each step brings you manifestation into tangible form. Notice the lessons and love that spring from every moment that you engage in acting upon your dreams.

Working with Archangel Jophiel: Jophiel helps us experience more grace and peace in our lives through slowing down and noticing the beauty that already surrounds us. She asks us to savor and enjoy each moment, rather than hinging our happiness on some future goals. Call upon Jophiel anytime you feel rushed, stressed, or unhappy. She will increase your awareness and appreciation of life’s everyday miracles.

 

 

 

A couple of people who I’ve been talking to about Twin Flames, have told me to be patient. As soon as I start having negative feelings about it, I’m only going to bring it forward. They also told me that if I get overwhelmed, I am not ready as of yet. These are all true. I hear you Universe. As always, you are absolutely right. The thing is that it does calm my mind. I guess I could turn it down a notch.

What is a Twin Flame or Twin Soul?

Earlier today, I wrote about Twin Flame without really explaining what Twin Flames actually are. I will be quoting this from Isisjade as I feel they have written it in a very understandable form. They also have other articles concerning Twin Flames.

The twin soul/twin flame is a split energetic form that separates into yin and yang versions of itself. That yin/yang version spends many lifetimes looking for and discovering aspects of itself through connections with countless soulmates. Soulmates are soul contracts we enter into prior to incarnation – they are often people who have lessons to teach us, often painful lessons, along with karmic debt we must repay. When that debt has been repaid – the relationship and contract comes to an end. At that time so do our relationships. And it is time for the next one to unfold.

 

Often you meet your twin flame just as you are about to end a soul contract with another. In fact, it almost always happens at about that time. And for a time, you’ll find yourself struggling for awhile between upholding a dead contract and evolving yourself to embody the twin flame that is asking for you to journey with them.

Your twin flame – your twin soul – this is the heart that beats as one that has been split in two. These twins match each other in energetic resonance, match each other’s ambition, motivation, drive and recognize each other in a split second, even if they can’t name what they recognize about the other. Their energy diminishes when not together, and when together they expand and energize not just the room but their entire corner of the universe. They heal each other, they evolve one another, they take each other’s lessons as their own. They are dynamic. They recognize their one-ness.  They feed off one another and nourish one another.

The twin flame doesn’t fear the other in an energetic sense. There is an instant recognition of familiarity and mutual trust. There is no sense of jealousy or hate, nor fear with this person. It’s an innate and instant feeling of “at last I’ve found you”. As if you will ever be watched over and looked after now that you’ve found the other. Even if you are not together as you wish you could be, you are happy for the now, just to be connected and reunited again, and often very impatient to transform the world so you can be together. Often times you are split up throughout the course of your life and you find your resolve to reconnect is tested again and again. But you will eventually find the step that is in tune with the other.

The twin flame – twin soul isn’t just a sexual or romantic entanglement like so many people will have you believe. It goes much deeper than that. Every minute spent with that person is a minute where you learn more about yourself. Time stops when you are with them. You don’t have to speak to be together. You simply talk without verbal language. In fact everything stops when you set eyes upon each other, until you decide to resume the physical world again.

Your limits, your strengths, your weaknesses are perfectly reflected in that other person. That person reflects everything that the universe believes of you -  to you. They only ask you questions in an attempt to embolden you, to teach you, to mentor you to guide you or to seek your wisdom and strength. You may find they’ve suffered from a mysterious back pain from the day you had a serious accident. You may discover she’s had a mysterious allergy and find you have had a weakness or intolerance to a food. You find yourself ill when she’s ill, tired when he’s tired.

You are strong where she is weak. You are limited where she seems boundless. You see in her the pure unconditional love that reaches for you daily, that spurs you on to grow, to challenge yourself, to deepen yourself, to better yourself, and you have this unfettered desire to help her better herself, to challenge her, to reach for her, to help her grow.

This is true love. Not the paradigm of love we have longed believed in. This love is eternal, Unconditional. All encompassing.  Not raging, not consuming, not filled with a passion that quickly turns to anger or fear.

It is a pure love that only hopes and wishes for the best for the other in all they do. With you, or without you. Because once the connection has been made between twin flames, nothing can sever it.

Remember, the twin flame relationship doesn’t have anything to do with male/female traditional relationships. Your twin flame can choose to incarnate in any sexual entity she or he wishes. That’s part of the openness about twin flames. You accept each other for the pure and perfect being you see in the other.

After today’s research, I’ve found out that more often than not there is a certain pattern that Twin Flames might follow.

 

Stage 1:  Recognition and Temporary Spiritual Awakening

Characteristics of Stage 1:
Both Twins recognize one another at the soul level and feel as if they have met before.  Synchronious events surround the union.  The heart chakras open and both souls quickly merge into a third unified energy.  Both Twins experience an acceleration of spiritual understanding.

The purpose of the Recognition and Temporary Spiritual Awakening Stage:
To activate the memory of each soul’s life mission and to help awaken each Twin to higher levels of consciousness.

 

Stage 2:  Testing

Characteristics of Stage 2:
The initial temporary spiritual awakening (illumination) fades. The ego (“little self”) begins to re-emerge.  One or both Twins may attempt to fit the relationship into the “old model” of Love, couplehood and relationship as it relates to their ego desires and learned belief system.  Inner conflict arises.  Twins ruminate on what they were taught to believe their beloved “should be” and how relationships are supposed to serve them.

Both Twins feel simultaneously inspired and toppled by the power of the union.
Doubts creep in making one or both Twins begin to view their beloved critically or suspiciously.

The purpose of the Testing stage:
To cause outdated mental concepts about relationships to rise to the surface to be cleared.

 

Stage 3:  Crisis

Characteristics of Stage 3:
The crisis of the Twin is realizing they must reject their egoic beliefs about Love relationships or reject their beloved.  Having to shed “little self” or identity-based beliefs and desires to embrace a higher expression of Love can lead to stubbornness and anxiety.  Fear can take hold, triggering many dysfunctional emotional patterns.  In staying present with the patterns, they can be witnessed and released.

Despite fears, both Twins naturally come together in cycles for bonding, confession, forgiveness and Lovemaking.  These rituals cement higher levels of consciousness into the energy fields of both Twins.

The purpose of the Crisis stage:
To provide opportunities for the healing and maturing of the mental and emotional bodies.

 

Stage 4:  The Runner Dynamic

Characteristics of Stage 4:
The human ego naturally fears annihilation in the face of the Unified Consciousness encoded inside the Twin Flame Union.  The pain body rises up and old ego survival mechanisms or “bottom of the barrel” emotional and mental patterns like defiance, resistance, manipulation, anger, punishing and judgment arise.

One or both Twins become emotionally and mentally flooded with deep pain from what feels like soul-level rejection and abandonment.  The unbearable soul-level pain leads one or both Twins to withdraw physically and block communication in fear and futility.  One or both Twins may unsuccessfully try to re-create the original unified harmony.

The purpose of the Runner Dynamic:
To propel both individuals towards the Creator/God/Universe for healing and maturation of the spiritual body.

NOTE:  The temptation to engage in ego battle or withdrawal is very seductive and difficult for many to resist, which is why many Twins never reach Surrender, Radiance or Harmony.

Remember, there is no room for judgment in Twin Soul pairings. Each soul learns from much walking its own path and choosing through its own will.  Your non-attached loving thoughts will be felt by your beloved in the subconscious, keeping them strong.

 

 

Stage 5:  Surrender

Characteristics of Stage 5: 
The direction and outcome of the relationship is surrendered to the Creator/God/Universe in full faith and trust that the Union is under Divine Protection.  It is accepted that what is best and destined for the final physical harmonizing will transpire in its own time. (Both Twins must reach Illumination in order to harmonize in the physical)

The “Runner” Twin is allowed the space and freedom to choose to evolve at their own pace in their own way.  At this stage, the frequency of compassion returns and maintains itself.  The Surrendered Twin holds a heart space for their beloved while fully exploring life on the way to becoming an Illuminated human.  This may be a time of channeling Unconditional Love into art, music, writing, teaching, active service or some other creative outlet.

Purpose of the Surrender stage:
To help each soul release the ego, develop regular communication with  the Creator/God/Universe and demonstrate their full trust to do what is best and when.

 

 

Stage 6:  Self Realization, Illumination, Radiance

Characteristics of Stage 6: 
The ego or “little self” dies and the Universal energy takes over the body.  This leads to a complete spiritual awakening, arriving at one’s fully awakened divinity. This is the stage of radiating Divine Love rather than seeking romantic Love.

At this stage, the surrendered Twin’s emotional, mental and spiritual bodies arrive at full maturity.  New creativity and healing abilities arise, which are put in service to assist others.

Purpose of the Radiance stage:

To establish an outward flow of Divine Love through one’s body and works, which vibrates at a level that uplifts humanity.

Stage 7:  Harmonizing

Characteristics of Stage 7:

By this stage both Twins have awakened.  They come together in the physical to assimilate their newly evolved energies, flowing into the new dynamic of their Unified Potential.  Both Twins integrate fully into the third energy of Unconditional Love in a way that influences others towards their own heart opening.

Purpose of the Harmonizing stage:

To fulfill the intended mission of the Twin Flame Union.

**Twin Flame relationships come into your life to help mold you to embody the vibration of Unconditional Love.**

Where do I fit in?

There’s something that has been on my mind for a minute now. I keep  researching it over and over again. It keeps coming back to me, in one form or another.

 

I first got acquainted with the concept of Twin Souls or Twin Flames a couple of years ago. A thought he had met his a few times. He was longing to find his before I knew anything about it. Last summer however, I realized I’ve been looking for my Twin as well. For as long as I can remember, I’ve felt as if I don’t belong. I’ve felt as if I was supposed to be a twin to someone but I wasn’t born as such. I realized that when A had a dream where he saw a reflection of me, but she wasn’t exactly me. Then all of a sudden it’s like everything fit into place. Since then, I’ve been trying to find my Twin. I’ve been trying to put things together as to where they might be, who they might be, etc. I now realize that this no longer important. I’m learning to communicate on another level, on an energy level where you don’t need words. Once when I meditated, I got a door shut to my face, and said ‘what are you doing here? You’re not supposed to be here!’ I couldn’t breathe, I felt as if I was about fall from the stool that was already on the ground. Having A as my narrator, he started to wake me up and before he even got to 2, we heard a clear knocking, knock-knock-knock. We thought it couldn’t be anyone on our doorstep as it was already so late. He came back upstairs. There was the knock again, knock-knock-knock, the same one. A got a bit spooked, I knew it wasn’t anything bad as I didn’t feel any negative vibes. Since that try, I haven’t tried to meditate again. It got me off my game for awhile.

 

 

A, however, found his Twin Flame awhile back. I had to give him his distance to get to know more about this person and what their dynamics are in this dimension/lifetime. I did just that. Through this process, it has put me in a little bit of a weird situation, more so than anyone else, I can tune into this person’s emotions quite well. I start feeling what they’re feeling, and more often than not tears start falling down my cheek. Being an empath, is not always easy. Mind you, I don’t know this person all that well, I’ve only had one time being alone with them. It surprises me every time I feel their somewhat suppressed energies.

 

Something stings inside me when I think of their relationship. Although it is not the easiest, at least they fully well know each other. Since last year, I’ve been desperately wanting to get to know mine – even if it’d mean hard work or looking in the mirror, and seeing your own faults/insecurities. What do I still have to learn that is keeping me from meeting my long-lost Twin? I’ve stopped obsessing about this but at times it comes and bothers me. Universe has been very generous with me and provided almost everything I’ve asked, and for that I’m humbled, grateful and appreciative!! Above all, I just want to meet mine, and I hope this will happen sooner than later.

 

Being on the hunt for something has taken a lot of patience on my part. I’m not usually the most patient person. Even though it feels like a lifetime of finding her, it has really been a nano second in the Universal consciousness. I can get quite frustrated when I find out something new about her, the situation, or whatever. It is only just a new piece of information that I don’t know what to do about it. However, I feel that I will soon find her as I feel myself working on myself, preparing for when we can actually meet up.

 

I keep getting that I should not focus too much on finding my Twin but rather working on myself. I will find her when I’m ready, when we’re both ready. I know I’ve been attracted to the Caribbean islands/Polynesia mainly because of her. There is something about that, and I keep getting assurance of that. Now fear and worry kicks in when I think of how on earth would I ever even be able to afford to go to Tahiti! As always, it is not up to me – well not totally, I still need to and should work on myself – but to the Universe. It has provided so many things for me so far. I should just surrender to its will and know that everything will be provided for me when the time is right.

Moving to Bulgaria: Day 7+

This is the last post of the series of my first week in Bulgaria! Don’t worry, I will be posting more about Bulgaria as life goes on here. This was also a way for me to journal what had happened during the first week while here. :)

 

I can’t believe it has already been a week that I’ve spent in this gorgeous, unknown country of Bulgaria! It has been an amazing week here. Full of first impressions, emotions, tiredness, new experiences, surrounded by nature. We came to the country right before there was a small holiday. The holiday was over, even A started his work today! For the first time, I was left alone in our new home.

 

I can’t remember exactly what I did that day, I’m sure it involved tidying up a bit, starting to learn Bulgarian, making dinner, reading.. just regular daily things. The landlord came about that day as well. He had someone to put on the sprinklers in the yard, as it had not rained for the whole week. With him not speaking a word of English, and me not speaking a word of Bulgarian, communication can get quite difficult. Somehow, I did figure out (with body language) that the sprinklers will go on daily from now on, that they’re on timer. That’s great! So we don’t have to worry about that any more!

 

The following two days, he showed up at the doorstep, as he has extra set of keys to this house (and the garage is the only way to get in.. ok, there is a gate that you can open as well but it’s easier to come through the garage). The second day, he came in with two other fellas, and fixed a mosquito/bug screen that fell off when we signed the contract (it hadn’t fallen off since). They didn’t take very long though. The third day, he had sent someone to come and fix the small cabinet, right before before you come in the house, as the door only opened half-way. The cabinet was a custom made, or custom fitted perhaps, to fit in that space. The person took and went in his workspace to fix it. I hadn’t even noticed him bringing it back later in the afternoon, it had just reappeared! I love our landlord!

 

He has kept his word of what he’d still do/fix for the house. I’ve had my share of landlords who would not do anything for the apartment, or claim that it is not his responsibility but mine to fix.. whatever needed fixing. Or a landlord who would promise they’d fix it but never would do it (ie. in the last apartment the fridge+freezer would not work properly.. the fridge was way too warm and you were better off using the freezer as the fridge!). Needless to say, I’m very pleased with the new landlord. As nice and efficient as he is, he does just let himself in (not inside the house though) without any kind of notice or whatever, and to me he could have a bit more privacy-consideration towards us. That’s the only issue I have, and it’s something I can adapt myself to. Coming to a completely new country,  you also have doubts whether someone is trustworthy or not, and I don’t like to get f****ed over, especially when comes to your living space!

 

As A got back from work, he finally got his suitcase! This means, he finally has more clothes and the rest of his things he’s been missing! Thankfully, we’ve been able to wash the few clothes he had, so at least he didn’t have to be in dirty, sweaty clothes every day.

 

All is well that ends well :)!

Moving to Bulgaria: Day 6

On the fine Tuesday morning, we decided we would go to Viti again. I think we wanted to find some things that would be necessary for our living situation. You see, while this house has everything you could imagine or want, it doesn’t have the personal items you might need. We have different sized plates, one each, already in the house, and six glasses. Other than we have to get other things on our own, including the bed stuff (pillows, cover, and of course sheets), utensils, pans, vacuum cleaner, etc. On the day we moved in, we got a cover and pillows for the bed as well as under sheet. Nothing else.

 

The first days, we had some frozen pizzas as we could make them easily in the oven, and be creative when eating them. Somewhere, along the way, we found forks, spoons, two pans, and even some spatulas from the local store we have here! We were still missing knives. So, I think we went to town to find some of the things we still needed while A was still off, and try and do groceries for the coming week (neither of really knows how to do that for some reason).

 

I think we walked and walked and walked, trying to find stupid knives. We didn’t find any stores that would look like they sold household items or kitchen stuff. So, we went to the store to find food before going back home. This was the first time, I really felt overwhelmed in the negative sense. I was tired from the walking, quite hot too. The stores in Bulgaria (or the ones I’ve been to, if you have a recommendation for a good grocery store, or any kind of recommendation, that would be very welcomed!) are not the kind of stores I’m used to. Or maybe I was too tired to see much. For instance, I couldn’t find a spice rack, or even salt. This made me get creative, and luckily, at least I found soy. There were other things that were hard to find, and most things are in Bulgarian, which was not all that helpful at all. Good thing you can recognize the items just by looking at it (although, later I found out that on the soy bottle, it does say ‘soya sauce’).

 

As we were walking on the bus stop, I see a store that sells kitchen stuff – the first one at that! We go in to check if they would have any knives, and sure enough they do. However, this was one of those fancy-more-expensive kind of stores. Well, we had to get eating knives, and one sharper knife to be able to cut. Out of desperation of not finding anything, we end up buying two knives and a sharp knife. It still didn’t cost as much as you’d pay for it in another western country, but it was plenty for the prices they have here. After we had bought the knives, we get out of the shop, and notice that they have a bigger shop right next to the one we went – a shop that looked a lot cheaper than what we were just in! Oh, the irony! At that point, all I could do was just laugh at the Universe’s humour.

 

When neither of you speaks the language, or barely even reads the language, daily things such as going to the store and getting things, knowing what they are, can be quite rough. If you would have a local person with you, who knows their own system and would help you find the necessary things you need, that would be a lot easier. I personally would love to learn some of the traditional dishes Bulgarians make, or even some of the delicious pastries they have, but I don’t want to get it off the internet from a person who was on a vacation and taught themselves to make a dish they had eaten on a restaurant, if you know what I mean. I want the real, authentic stuff.

 

On the flip side, however, if you have a Bulgarian partner, you might miss some of the things than when neither of you barely knows anything of the culture. Nonetheless, both are excellent ways to get to know the wonderful Bulgarian culture!
