Why a new blog? Why a blog in English?

A couple of days ago a dear friend of mine asked me if I was still writing on my old blog.
No, I'm not.
I abandoned it last year and I never visit it anymore. I don't know why. Maybe it was too personal, I used to analyze my feelings, thoughts, melancholies and it was too "full", too intricate, too heavy. I need something new, something which can describe better the person I am now.
I want to talk less about me, more about the things I like. I want this moment of my day to be relaxing, pleasant for me and for the people who read me.
The "intellectual" side of me is next to the "fashionable" one, I want to mix them, let them live together. I could have started writing on my old blog, too, with a new spirit, but girls need something *radically* new from time to time, isn't it?

Why a blog in English if you are Italian?
Because I've spent about a half of my life studying English, and now English is my job, so I think I "owe" this to this beautiful language. Because I need practising and improving it everyday in less formal fields. Because I've met people from all over the world lately, and I want them to understand what I write. Because some Italian friends of mine will find it useful to practice their English, too, in a very lighthearted way.
