My bullet journal caused a scene at family dinner

I was at a family dinner last week and had my bullet journal out to jot down some ideas. My cousin saw it and started asking a ton of questions about my system. It turned into a whole thing where everyone at the table wanted to see my spreads. My aunt even tried to give me advice on color coding, which was funny because she doesn't journal. I ended up spending half the meal explaining migration symbols instead of eating. It was awkward but also kind of cool to see people so interested. Now I'm more careful about where I whip out my bujo.

Bullet journals are everywhere now, right?

Wait, @the_elizabeth, people actually draw those symbols?

That moment when your migration symbols sound like a foreign language to normal people.

Half the meal explaining migration symbols. That's wild. I would have just shoved the journal in my bag. My family would roast me forever for that.
