Why a blog?

And why not?
I decided to create a blog becouse i feel an empty... I've always had a diary,my first one was from  the 101 Dalmatians and i bought it with a check  that my godmother gave me on my ninth birthday. It was a sort of retreat and reflection. Since there i always had a diary. I could both spend days without opening it our  write three times a day. It was never exactly a routine, because i was never a great writer, but it was a good habit. I lost it when I was pregnant with my son, 7 years ago. There was not much time or patience and one day i start reading themand decided i should throw them to the sea. (blame it on the hormones!) For some reason i rebelled from the past and refused to look further into it. Today I regret having done so.Anyway, as I said at the beginning, I feel an emptiness, a lack of power to visualize what I feel (if that makes sense), I miss being able to "spend time with my buttons". I created the blog because I think It will be good for me. I'm single for the first time in a long time, my kids are getting more independent, and I'm in a country that i knowvery well, but still is new to me, with a new job and new people. I hope to combine my love of being a housewife, a single mother, the world of fashion,culture and childcare with my old and good habit of writing in a journal. I know that is not the same as opening a book and feel that smell of paper and pen, but it does have the advantage of being more visual and even being personal,  it can be shared!
Let's see if I surrender :)
