Can we talk about how everyone says you need a fancy pen for bullet journaling?

I tried using my kid's 50 cent crayola markers for a month and my spreads were way more fun and less stressful to make, so what's the deal with the expensive pen obsession?

Actually, some of those fancy pens are made for thicker paper so they don't bleed. But you're right, the best pen is the one you'll actually use without stressing.

Totally agree, I fell into that trap too. I spent way too much on pens that bled through my paper and made me scared to even start a page. Switched to some basic highlighters and a cheap gel pen, and suddenly I was actually using my journal instead of just staring at a blank spread. The fancy stuff looks nice in photos but it can really kill the fun of just putting pen to paper. What did you end up drawing with those crayola markers?
