I bought a $40 'perfect' bullet journal kit and it made me hate the whole thing

The kit came with a notebook, stencils, and a bunch of pens that smeared on the paper, which totally killed my flow. I wasted the money and felt so much pressure to make it look 'right' that I stopped using it for two months. Has anyone else had a bad experience with a pre-made kit that made journaling feel like a chore?

Yeah, the pressure to make it look "right" is real. My friend got a fancy calligraphy set and the ink bled through every page. She spent more time cleaning up smudges than actually writing, and the whole thing just lived in a drawer after that.

Did she ever try different paper, or just give up on it?
