I made a big mistake when I moved to Bulgaria

Summary of the video (key takeaways & lifestyle/travel/health themes)

Big mistake after moving to rural Bulgaria

• The creator says the major “mistake” wasn’t the move itself, but publicly sharing their house-buying goal and timeline on YouTube.
• This brought unwanted attention and pressure.

Travel / living situation highlights (Day 57)

• They’re living in a car/tent setup in rural Bulgaria.
• Due to:
  • Extreme heat in the car
  • Mosquito swarms when windows/sunroof are open
• They slept in a tent for the last two nights, saying it felt more peaceful.
• A vehicle/individual named Vladimir is still parked nearby.

Energy management / mental health routine

• They identify as highly sensitive and say they must protect their energy to stay balanced and “high vibrational.”
• They describe how public exposure can lead to:
  • Unsolicited input and “energies” from strangers
  • Pressure → anxiety → procrastination
  • Feeling inadequate when expectations aren’t met on others’ timelines
• Their conclusion moving forward: keep goals more private and share only what feels genuinely inspirational.

Intuitive guidance (oracle cards)

• When they’re uncertain, they consult oracle cards for reassurance.
• The message they received emphasizes:
  • Let intuition move you physically
  • Travel and share your creations
  • Walk the path even if you don’t feel prepared
  • “Birth your creations” anyway
  • Be courageous and do what intimidates you—anyway
• They frame this as “birthing a new age.”

Backstory & relocation context

• Background locations mentioned: Slovenia, Paris, London, and the Canary Islands.
• After the pandemic, while living in a city apartment, they craved countryside life and started saving for a property in Eastern Europe.
• Bulgaria felt uniquely “at home” compared to other places they tried.
• They expected the property-buying process to take months, but it took much longer than planned.
• They emphasize the difficulty of exploring/choosing real estate—especially remote mountainous regions—and refuse to buy something that doesn’t “feel right.”

What caused the “pressure spiral”

Sharing the house goal publicly opened the door to:

• Comments, debates, and projections
• Expectations from viewers they feel don’t know their full situation
• Doubt, criticism, fear, and possible jealousy from others
• Repeated questions from family (“Have you found the house yet?”)

They also note:

• Even praise can create stagnation—feeling “halfway there”
• That can lead to self-sabotage, excuses, and thoughts like “there’s never the right time.”

New approach going forward

They decide to:

• Stop oversharing the house-hunting goal and timeline
• Avoid giving in to other people’s projections
• Share instead the inspirational aspects of their life—not the house hunt as a spectator project

Core lesson:

People judge from their own perspective, not yours.

Evening plan

• They plan a modest dinner.
• Then they intend to visit neighbors and hang out, since neighbors have been asking for days.
