Appreciation post: My 2018 bullet journal has a coffee stain that took a year to fade
I spilled a whole latte on it at a cafe in Portland and the pages stayed warped and sticky for months, no matter what I tried. Has anyone else had a journal mess that just refused to be fixed quickly?
Oh man, that's brutal. Honestly it sounds like your journal just really wanted to hold onto that Portland cafe vibe forever. Tbh a year is a long time to have a sticky book, like it became a weird art project about patience. I spilled tea on a notebook once and the pages fused together, it was basically a fancy paper brick. At least yours faded, mine is just a monument to my clumsiness.
Fancy paper brick" is such a perfect way to put it, I read about someone who accidentally dropped a book in a puddle and it just became a lumpy slab of paper mush. Definitely beats a sticky journal though, at least yours was a slow, artistic decay.
