All right, Jessica, serious question. What's your favorite hobby? Ooh, that's hard. I love reading novels, especially mysteries, but lately I've been obsessed with watercolor painting. No way. You paint? Yeah, I'm still learning. It's relaxing, even if it looks like a 5-year-old did it. That's awesome. I used to draw comics when I was a kid, but now my main hobby is music. Playing guitar, writing songs. It's my therapy. That's so cool. Do you still play every day? Almost. At night, I just sit down and play for like 20 minutes. Even if it's nonsense, it helps me unwind. I love that. I think everyone needs a hobby. Not for money, not for work, just for joy. Totally. Do you have any weird hobbies? Uh, I collect tiny jars. Like cute little glass bottles. No idea why. It just makes me happy. I once collected old coins. Now I just collect memes. A modern art form.
