My wreck this journal has arrived!! I sit here and look at it with both excitement and anxiousness. I’m excited because I get to wreck something on purpose, but that also causes in me great anxiety. I am the type of person that does not like messy paper, if it is messy I throw it in a box and never look at it again. I like pens and pencils to be in order, and I don’t like paper to be stained.
I don’t mind if books I own look read, I can handle a crack in the spine, or even a dog-eared page here and there (although we have bookmarks for a reason). I can even cope with a page or two ripped out (but taped back in of course) of a well read book. Wear comes with use.
But here I am faced with a book, that I am going to wreck on purpose, some of the pages will be ripped out and not taped back in. Those pages will be lost forever. Some of the pages will probably be sticky, and start to smell, one of the pages even designates SOMEONE ELSE to wreck it. I wonder if I can rise to the challenge and wreck my journal, or if at the end of this I will have a very neat but disappointing book.
I say bring it on!
How’s the wrecking journey going?
