Hit 500 pages in my bujo last week and it barely looks like a notebook anymore

I started my bullet journal back in March 2023 thinking it would just be a quick task tracker. Last week I counted and I'm on page 503, the thing is so fat the spine is cracking. It really hit me how much life I crammed into this one book, all the grocery lists, doctor visits, and random doodles. Anyone else have a journal that's bulging out like it's about to explode?

Honestly I used to think bullet journals were just artsy scrapbooks for people with too much time. But then I started one for work stuff and now mine is held together with packing tape and a prayer. It's wild how much random stuff ends up in there, like parking receipts next to a five year plan. Makes you realize how much ordinary life actually happens when you're not looking.

Parking receipts next to a five year plan? That's honestly wild, I wouldn't have guessed anyone actually kept parking receipts in a journal like that. Mine is just a mess of sticky notes and half crossed out tasks, nothing as wild as literal trash mixed with big life goals. It's almost like the journal doesn't care what you think is important, it just records whatever lands on the page. Guess that's the whole point though, right? Life is just a weird pile of random stuff that doesn't really make sense until you look back at it later.
