That exact same thing happened to me years ago, when I bought my first sketchbook. I treated it regally, as if it would mean something outworldly for the rest of my life. I revered it, and it occupied the most prominent spot in my bookshelf.
And you know what? it stayed there for a long time. I never dared take it with me!
But in the end I decided that no, that wouldn't be "the sketchbook". It would be "a sketchbook", or not even that, just a group of papers glued together. The mysticism died, but the art grew from then on. To this day I believe it was a great decision!
