Asked what he's discovering about himself, Jake offers three unguarded insights: he loves sitting on the shower floor listening to music for up to 30 minutes; handwriting in a journal feels uniquely secure in a way typing never can because no computer hack can reach paper; and marijuana, while giving him 20 minutes of peak creative confidence and producing his best dance videos, is followed by feeling terrible and neglecting his grooming. Jay seizes on the weed conversation to recommend Dr. Daniel Amen's brain scanning work, before pivoting to a broader point: as your public life grows, your private life becomes proportionally more precious. The journal, Jay says, represents something that belongs entirely to Jake — and that rarity is worth protecting.
