JoyDrop
A small, quiet way to let someone feel seen.
JoyDrop
A simple act. A quiet ripple.
An anonymous note of encouragement.
Left somewhere a stranger will unexpectedly find it.
No credit.
No filming people.
No performance.
Just a small moment that might shift someone’s entire day.
What Is A JoyDrop?
A JoyDrop is simple.
It’s a handwritten note.
Left in a public place.
For a stranger you’ll never meet.
It’s not about being clever.
It’s not about going viral.
It’s about reminding someone — quietly — that they’re not alone.
JoyDrops are one of the core actions of World Love Week.
Millions of people drop them at the SAME time.
That's when it becomes a wave.
Why It Exists.
A lot of people are carrying things you can’t see.
Not a crisis.
Not a breakdown.
Just the quiet weight of moving through the world unnoticed.
JoyDrops don’t try to fix anyone.
They don’t give advice.
They don’t ask questions.
They don’t require a response.
They just say, in the smallest possible way:
You’re not invisible.
You matter here.
Sometimes that’s enough.
How To Do A JoyDrop
① Write the Note
Grab an index card, scrap paper, or envelope.
Write one short message. Keep it simple.
Examples:
“You’re doing better than you think.”
“Someone wanted you to have a good day.”
“You matter more than you realize.”
“Keep going. You’re not alone.”
Want to make it ripple?
On the inside, add:
#JoyDrop
WorldLoveWeek.com
That’s it.
No signature required.
② Leave It Somewhere Normal
Choose a place where someone will naturally find it.
Good spots:
Office or breakroom microwave
Coffee shop counter or bookshelf
Library table
Gym locker room bench
Grocery cart
Community bulletin board
Laundry room
Shared workspace printer
Keep it simple.
If it would feel strange or invasive — don’t leave it there.
Safe. Simple. Ordinary.
③ Walk Away.
This part matters.
Don’t wait to see who finds it.
Don’t watch reactions.
Don’t film strangers.
A JoyDrop works because it’s anonymous.
Drop it.
Leave.
Trust the ripple.

Filming a JoyDrop (Optional)
If you choose to share it online…
Film only your hands.
POV style.
No faces — yours or anyone else’s.
Silence is perfect.
Drop the note and walk away.
That’s the whole video.
If filming changes how the moment feels, skip it.
The JoyDrop still counts.
Posting Your JoyDrop Content
(Optional But Powerful)
If you choose to post your JoyDrop:
Use #JoyDrop and #WorldLoveWeek.
Tag a few people you care about.
Invite them to do one, too.
Example caption:
I left this for someone I’ll never meet.
No credit. No faces. Just a JoyDrop.
@___ @___ @___ — you’re next.
#JoyDrop #WorldLoveWeek
This is how kindness spreads.
A Quick Note on Trust
JoyDrop is built on trust.
So here’s what not to do:
Don’t film strangers.
Don’t ask for reactions.
Don’t turn this into a performance.
Don’t guilt people into participating.
JoyDrop is about quiet connection — not visibility.
If you’re unsure about something, ask yourself:
Would this feel kind if I found it on a hard day?
That’s the line.
Why JoyDrop Works
Most people don’t need advice.
They need a pause.
A reminder.
A moment of being seen.
JoyDrops create those moments — quietly, safely, and at scale.
One note won’t change the world.
But it might change someone’s day.
And sometimes, that’s enough.

This isn't about doing it once and moving on.
It's about what happens when millions of people do it TOGETHER.
During World Love Week.
Imagine a wave of encouragement...
Moving through cities, communities, and countries...
All in ONE WEEK.

Millions of people leaving notes.
Tagging friends.

One city.
Then another.
That's how kindness spreads.
