Changed my mind about needing a perfect bullet journal

I was at a coffee shop in Denver last week, working on my monthly spread and getting really upset because my lines were a bit wobbly. This woman at the next table leaned over and said, 'You know, the only person who will ever notice that is you.' She showed me her own journal, which had a whole page with a big coffee stain on it from six months ago. She just wrote 'oops' next to it and kept going. That one thing she said really stuck with me... I was so caught up in making it look good for some imaginary judge. Now I just focus on if it works for me. Has anyone else had a moment that made them stop stressing over the small stuff in their bujo?

My first journal from 2018 is full of cross-outs and it's still my favorite.

Seriously @eva666? It's just some scribbles in a notebook.
