Proof Of Love Spread

I came across the concept of a Proof of Love journal spread in a YouTube video and instantly fell in love with the idea. But when I went to execute I found myself wondering what exactly should something like this encompass. 

So if you to love the idea of a Proof of Love spread, whether virtually or physically, but don’t know where to start, then this post is for you!


The idea of a Proof of Love spread is simple, a page that shows you that you are loved and that there are things that make everything worth it. 


I decided to break this up into 3 categories:

-Things/People you love

-People that love you

-Self-Love


I’ll share some examples of what fell into these categories for me.


1.Things/People you love (3-4)


This is the easiest category, and I tried to choose things that make me feel happy. This includes passions, interests, and hobbies. They can be new or old. I found that there was something special about putting something old, it was a way to honor a past love


For me, I put pictures of the kpop concerts I’ve been to, representing my favorite groups. Going to coffee shops/cafes always brings me joy so I added that. I’ve also had a life-long love of reading so I added books. And I am a fangirl at heart so I put a few of my fandoms in there too.


2.People that love you (5-6)


There are people who love us and often times we take then for granted or forget when we feel lonely. For this, of course, I chose pictures with friends and family. Though I tried to specifically choose pictures from moments or days where I truly felt the love. For example, I chose a picture of a friend and myself on a day where they went out of their way to come and support me with something I was doing.


I also added pictures of activities I have done with others that brought me joy. This is a combination of the first and second categories. For example, I love painting and went to a workshop with a friend to paint so I chose that as one of my pictures.


3.Self-Love


This one is a bit tricky to put into words, but all the more important. I also want to be reminded of my love for myself and that I am worthy of it. 


This includes pictures of things you are proud of and accomplishments. It also includes things that you feel represent a core aspect of your personality (for me it’s writing.) And also a picture of yourself that you like. Show yourself when you turn back to this page that you are full of love. 


Some things I included were running a 5k, a picture of myself a photographer took, and completing my first book.


A lot of this is really personal, but I made a Canva version that I’ll share with you. I used this as a template for my physical spread that I did in my journal. 



I hope this gave you some ideas for your own spread, please share your thoughts in the comments! See you next month!

2025 Journal Setup Guide Pt.1

Image
It’s that time of year again, 2025 journal setup season! So along with everyone else, this month, I thought I’d share some ideas, tips, things to consider, and, of course, my own selection of spreads for 2025.  This is part 1 of my journal setup guide and will focus on pre-planning. This part is the grunt of the effort when setting up a new journal but once it’s done it makes everything else much easier.  Part 2 will be posted next month and include the more decorative and aesthetic elements along with actually putting pen to paper and showing the final result. But before all that, let’s jump into the planning! Step 1: Brainstorm The first step is deciding what spreads you’re going to include in your journal and writing them all out. Some questions to consider: What worked for me this year? What didn’t work for me this year? Is there anything I can replace it with? What is something I’d like to add to this setup? If this is your first time setting up a journal then the questio...

2025 Journal Setup Guide Pt.2

This month I’m back with the promised Part 2 of the 2025 Journal Setup Guide! If you haven’t checked out part 1 yet, here is the link: Now that we have the prep done, it’s time to actually jump into your journal with all the fun stuff. It’s time to focus on the decoration and aesthetic elements! Step 1: Decorations/Color Palette/Themes A lot of people have themed journal setups and there are countless inspiration images out there for the different types of themes you can use. I personally don’t have a specific theme for my year setup (though I will do themed monthly setups). However, I do have a defined color palette, which is basically my “theme.” My color palette is based on the stickers and washi tape I bought. But you can choose your color palette based on your theme, or other decoration items you have.  You don’t need to be super fancy with your decoration. Just choose one thing that will be at the center of your color story.  Then based on that one thing (theme or sticke...

How to Make a K-Pop Concert Freebie

Image
To begin, there are a lot of different kinds of freebies you can get at a kpop concert and my fellow fans always surprise me with their creativity! I once got a credit card with Min Yoongi’s face on it and it was so exceptional that I not only think about it but carry it around with me everywhere I go.  I assume if you’ve made it this far you know what a freebie is and what it’s all about but in case you’re new to the kpop world (hi!) freebies are little gifts that fans make and give out (as the name suggests) for free at concerts.  In this post, I’ll outline a few common ideas for freebies, give my take on how to execute them and finally walk through how to make a “lomo” or a fake photocard yourself! A few freebie ideas: Beaded “friendship” bracelet  This one is on the cheaper end since it’s pretty easy to get a bracelet making kit online for under $20 nowadays. The real effort is in make them. I have gotten some with the names/nicknames of members or song names spelled ...
