Why am I doing this?

 "Why would I write a blog?" was the first question that came to my mind when my father told me, a few months ago by now, I should start writing a blog. I guess he saw my comments on books, comics, series, movies, and others on Twitter and thought they had some quality or value, or that they were interesting. Could it be? Not sure, but to me, those tweets are just simple expressions of my thoughts about things I like, dislike or that interests me for some reason; usually,  they are not even deep reviews with a coherent structure in mind, just flash opinions that were posted almost as fast as appeared in my head (which has lead to typos sometimes, I have to say) that most of the time practically doesn't receive any feedback (I have not too many followers). So I never had the idea that those opinions were interesting enough to start a blog. But it happens not all things are about if it's interesting. 
I'm a writer, I'm also a literature and linguistics student. I find art in all its forms as a worthy candidate for the best invention of humanity, or at least it's top ten on the list. It's the purest form of communication and it's a beautiful process that gives let's say peace and enjoyment to those who create it and to those who receive it. And to see how important art is to humanity, it is necessary to point out that it has been cultivated and admired not for centuries, but for millennia. There's a specifical reason for that, why art is almost as old as humanity itself and why it has endured all these countless years with us. It's about the need of the human being to communicate, to express themselves in all the ways possible, and doing it aesthetically has stood out due to the particular way the message is composed, sent, and received, and the effect it has in both the sender and the receiver. 
And that's about this blog is, about my need for self-expression and communication. About sharing my views on things, mostly art, but there could be other topics too. I don't guarantee things won't get political at some point! I also plan to post here some of my stories and essays. To summarize, I just want to express myself at the same time I write, my biggest passion, and if someone finds something interesting or nice, that would make me really glad.
