Bought a $50 set of brush pens that bled through every page in my journal

Used to think all paper was basically the same. That kind of bleed would change my mind real fast.

My first fountain pen taught me that lesson the hard way.

Yeah, that bleed is a dead giveaway... but what really gets me is the sound. Cheap paper has this hollow, tinny crinkle. Good paper has a dense, low thump when you flick it. It's like feeling the weight of the fibers.
