Used to think a bullet journal had to be perfect, then my kid spilled juice on it.
For years I tried to keep everything neat. Straight lines, perfect lettering, no mistakes. It felt like a job. Then last Tuesday, my four year old knocked a cup of grape juice right onto my open weekly spread. The pages were a mess. I almost started a whole new book. Instead, I just let it dry and kept going. Scribbled over the stains, taped a ripped page. Now it feels real. Like a tool, not a showpiece. The messy one gets used way more than the pretty ones ever did. Anyone else have a journal that got better after a disaster?

Adds character"? It just looks ruined to me.

Did the juice actually soak through a bunch of pages? That happened to me once with coffee and I was so mad at first, but now I kind of like seeing the stain when I flip back through. Makes it feel like it actually lived through something.
