Private Lovely Letters

Let's take some quality, personal time and reflect upon 2014.

You can print out the questions on pretty paper and then write your answer in your own handwriting. This exercise is about being honest with yourself and also putting trust in sharing some personal stuff with your partner.

We will answer the following questions. These questions are reproduced with permission from our lovely Swap-Bot Ambassador Rebecca (thebragal).

You may skip any ONE question as long as you describe why you want to skip it.
