But today I’m looking for extra items because it’s my sister’s birthday, and I’m making her favorite dessert: **BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE**.

*"In September 2023, after a heartbreak that turned my world upside down in Ilave, my family gave me a way out: moving to Arica. I’d spent my entire adolescence in that town, but that September, everything shifted. For four months, I worked, helped my sister every evening, and found peace.
