This image is a hand-drawn illustration of a human eye. The iris is light blue, shading gives it a sense of depth. The pupil is solid black, centred within the iris. Two small white circles suggest light reflecting off the pupil. The sclera, or white part of the eye, has sporadic red, jagged lines, indicating the eye is bloodshot. Short, thin eyelashes extend outwards from the upper and lower lids of the eye. The lashes are more prominent on the upper lid.

923 words about the purpose of adversity, post-traumatic growth, and how to see the silver lining.

This image is a simple line drawing of a cannabis leaf. The leaf features seven distinct, pointed leaflets arranged in a fan shape, with each leaflet having serrated edges. The leaflets taper to a sharp point at the end, with the central leaflet being the longest. The drawing is primarily outlined in a fine, black line, with subtle green shading that adds a bit of depth to the otherwise minimalistic design.

An hourglass shows the sands of time running out. Only a quarter of the sand remains within the top section of the hourglass. Three-quarters of the sand has piled up within the bottom section. The sand piles are shaped like teardrops. Mirroring each other and connected by a thin line of sand, like hands of death and life reaching for each other. The hourglass is held upright within a container. The top of the container is a layer of four flat bases, each one smaller in diameter than the other, creating a step-like platform. The bottom of the container is the same construction and shape as the top. The sides of the container are two pillars. Ornate in design but misshapen, as if reflecting life’s imperfections.

A surfboard stands upright on a beach. It’s facing the ocean’s rolling waves, its tail end dug firmly into the sand. There’s a pattern on the back of the board: two sets of three wave-like lines running horizontally from side-to-side. The lines aren’t exactly symmetrical. The board has three fins near the tail end. One fin is close to the left edge of the board, the second fin is close to the right edge of the board, and the third fin is in the middle.

Two small dogs are sitting down and staring straight at you. The one on the left is fluffy and is wearing a bandana around its neck. It’s sticking its tongue out and smiling. The dog on the right has its head cocked to the left, as though it’s curious about what you’re thinking. Both dogs have their ears perked straight up. Their boopable noses are black and their eyes are kind and loving.

A pair of socks are matched together, one in front of the other. The socks are grey in colour, while the top bands, heels, and toes are red. The bottom portion of the socks are wet, as shown by blue water droplets dripping to the ground.
