WTG #8: insecurities - we all worry or stress over things. we worry that we are not good enough or that we are making a bad decision. these can be small worries or big ones. document something that you worry about. it can be something you USED to worry about but don't anymore, or something bothering you now. document why you feel the way you do.

WTG #7 - right now - while the core of who you are doesn't change, i find that my interests and activities tend to evolve from one year to the next. take a moment to capture the things you are into RIGHT NOW.
