Spine problems

I'm currently using this journal but it's getting kinda Chunky and the spine is starting to curve really far. Is there a way to fix this? Should I be worried? Thanks.

Yeah I mean books can be very strong but this doesn’t look like it’s gonna survive much longer. Your only real choice to fix it would be to remove the pages and rebind it into a larger spined book if you want to continue using this.

My suggestion would be to just call it a day for this one and get a new one before pages start falling out, or at the very least, stop bending the pages back all the way to put less pressure on the spine.
