Find Yourself with the Map of the Soul

BTS is having a comeback (new album) on April 12 called 'Map of the Soul: Persona'.
For those who don't know, BTS just finished their 'Love Yourself' album trilogy that consists of 'Love Yourself: Her', "Love Yourself: Tear' and 'Love Yourself: Answer'. The 'Love Yourself' series helped lots of people emotionally with its inspiring lyrics and empowering message so I wanted to celebrate the end of the 'Love Yourself' era and the new one.
BTS are kind of continuing their concept though. Now after 3 albums, ARMYs (their fans) love themselves, they need to find who they truly are using the map of the soul.

For two of my ARMY (ARMYs are BTS fans) friends, I made what I call a 'Love Yourself Box'. It is a box covered in the 'Love Yourself' concept pictures and the albums covers too. Inside, I wrote down and folded up some BTS lyrics such as...

  • "90% of your worries are an imaginary swamp that you created. So instead of worrying, don't get scared, cheer up." - Suga, 'So What'
  • "It's just that loving myself doesn't require anyone else's permission." - RM, 'Answer: Love Myself'
  • "I may be a little blunt, I may lack somethings. I may not have that glow around me, but this is me. My arms, my legs, my heart, my soul." - Jin, 'Epiphany'
  • "Me, who used to be sad. Me, who used to be hurt. It'll make me more beautiful." - Jungkook, 'Answer: Love Myself'
  • "The me of yesterday, the me of today, the me of tomorrow. With no exceptions, it's all me." from 'Answer: Love Myself'
  • "I'm the one I should love in this world. Shining me, precious soul of mine. I finally realized, so I love me. Not so perfect, but beautiful. I'm the one I should love." from 'Epiphany'
I want the box to remind them to love themselves because that is important.
Personally, I think I displayed friendship because I have made them gifts to celebrate what we love (BTS) and to share a special message.
I can't wait for April 12th!
