PSA: My bullet journal turned into a blurry mess after a pen mix-up
Last weekend, I was working on my mood tracker spread and I was SO proud of the gradient effect. I reached for my blue marker to shade a section, but I picked up the wrong one from my cup. It was a permanent ink pen instead of the water-based kind I meant to use. When I noticed a smudge and tried to wipe it, the whole page became a blurry, streaky disaster. It looked like someone spilled juice on it, but nope, just my own mistake. My first thought was to rip the page out, but then I decided to embrace the chaos. Now that spread has its own section called 'abstract emotions' and I kind of love it. ALWAYS double-check your tools, folks, or you might end up with accidental art.
