About me

I’m not entirely sure how to begin talking about myself; it’s really quite awkward, if you’ve never tried it before… Hm, let’s see – I’m extremely hyperactive, I curse excessively (a habit I’m really trying to break – as my mom would say “it’s not lady-like to curse like a man“), I take my coffee with one cream + one sugar (preferably Splenda), I’m a summer baby – so naturally I love the beach, being poolside and tanning. I’m the middle child of my family – so, I o, I suffer from an acute form of middle child syndrome. It’s real, don’t anyone ever tell you otherwise.

I love to read, love to write. I LOVE the idea of being in love, falling in love, an endless love, finding your forever love  – I can’t ever deny it. I’m a hopeless romantic. We’re a dying breed so I intend on suffocating you all with romanticism. You can thank me later or hate me later, the choice is yours.

A Blueberry Girl transpired from a series of events. The first was life altering, it was the breakup. Newly singlehood was a foreign concept to me. I faced the challenge of finding myself outside of what I once was; I was no longer a “we” but a me. I had no idea where to start, how to start…

With that challenge came the immediate need to change my identity; to become somewhat different – at least until I figured out who I really was. Physical appearance was the easiest and made the most sense, so I committed to going blue. Blue has always been my favorite color and quite honestly it was fitting. Not only was I feeling blue but my ego was bruised – so black & blue couldn’t have been more appropriate for my hair color.

Quite melodramatic, I know, but that was my rationale at the time.

A casual conversation solidified the name of my blog. As I transitioned into this new stage in my life, I found myself spending a great deal of time at a friend’s house. Side note: this friend later became more than a friend, then no friend then my boyfriend… but that’s completely irrelevant to this story. The point is, his family started referring to me as Christine, the Blueberry Girl; altered lyrics from “Christine” by Siouxsie and the Banshees….

Hence; A Blueberry Girl transpired.

If you watch my stories, you know that I post A LO If you watch my stories, you know that I post A LOT about @enzothejindo . Since we've adopted him, he's been by my side approximately 94.8% of the time; when we go on walks, when I nap, even when I'm in the bathroom - he likes to make sure I don't fall into the toilet. 

He is the best decision I've made in my life, the ABSOLUTE BEST - if you're thinking about finding a dog companion, please consider adopting. There are so many wonderful organizations out here, one will fit your needs, I'm sure of it ❤

Working from home has had its challenges. Social d Working from home has had its challenges.
Social distancing from family & friends isn't ideal; necessary, but not ideal.
2020, in general, has not been ideal BUT I can honestly say I've found comfort in those who have remained close to me - figuratively not literally. 

I hope that you're able to find some happiness during these times! Find happiness in something you love to do, something you've always wanted to do but haven't had the time, people you've been able to reconnect with or those whose relationships have been strengthened during these times 💙

Also, here's a random picture of  me taking pictures of @_lomeli_22

Today is #worldmentalhealthday . I usually think i Today is #worldmentalhealthday . I usually think it's laughable - all the different "days" that come about. There's seemingly a day for everything; a donut day, dog day, sibling day, there's even a coffee day.. their sole purpose is to give each of us an opportunity to find the perfect shot &share how we're somehow connected to what is currently trending...⠀
⠀
Today is different, today is important. Today we should all try to connect to what is trending. There's so many of us (myself included) who continually suffer from some form of mental illness; some of us suffer in silence; some of us suffer without even knowing; some of us suffer & are too afraid to ask for help.⠀
⠀
“I used to think the worst thing in life was to end up all alone. It's not. The worst thing in life is ending up with people who make you feel all alone.”⠀
⠀
-Robin Williams⠀
⠀
So in observance to today, I want you to reach out so someone you care about & simply ask them "Are you okay?" ⠀
⠀
Always be kind to one another, you never know what someone is struggling with...⠀

I knew I wanted to adopt Enzo (formally Buddy) the I knew I wanted to adopt Enzo (formally Buddy) the moment I saw how disproportionate he was. I thought it was adorable how he was a mini-sized Jindo; a life-sized Scrappy-Doo!⠀
⠀
For those who aren't familiar, the Jindo breed originates from South Korea. Enzo was saved from a dog-meat farm by @dove_project . 
⠀
It was through their organization that I was able to meet Enzo & my life was forever changed 💝

If you're interested in adopting I urge you to visit their page - you won't be disappointed!

⠀
I'm a bit late on this but here we are. For those of you who don't know, A Blueberry Girl started as a passion project. I loved being able to see my vision come to fruition; building it, designing, writing & the process of creating - it all helped me heal.⠀
⠀
Two years later the focus is less about healing and more about self-love. I've taken some time to reflect on what my goals are, what I envision my life to be & what is truly important.⠀
⠀
Let's all continue this journey together 💙⠀

The similarity the icecream emoji has to my icecream cone is undeniable. There's no real purpose to this post except to express my unwavering love for icecream.

Want to cheer me up? Buy me icecream.
Am I upset with you? Buy me icecream, I won't be.
Want to show me how much you love me? Buy me icecream even when I don't ask for it.
Do you want to make me smile? Ask me if I want icecream..
THEN buy me icecream (to keep me smiling, of course) 😊
