This is a simple line drawing of a fuel gauge. It’s a half circle with notches indicating full, three-quarters full, half-full, one-quarter full, and empty. An arrow hangs from the middle of the gauge. It points at the lowest notch in the gauge, indicating an empty tank.

The curse of self-awareness: one man’s confession about his mental well-being in 864 words on The Davis Daily.

This is a drawing of a human hand. The hand is shown from the side, wrist tapering down and out of frame. The thumb and index finger are held close together in a pinching gesture, as if indicating a very small amount. The middle finger is slightly bent behind them, while the ring finger and pinky curve inward toward the palm. Fine, short line marks suggest wrinkles, knuckles, and skin texture along the fingers and the back of the hand.

Master your thoughts, or your thoughts master you. “Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t, you’re right.”

This image is a simple black-and-white line drawing of a hot air balloon. The balloon’s canopy is made up of several vertical panels, each drawn with gentle curves to suggest a soft, fabric-like texture. The panels converge at the top of the balloon, giving the structure a rounded, dome-like appearance. Thin lines run vertically along each panel, adding depth and dimension to the balloon's surface, indicating where the fabric might fold or crease. The basket at the bottom of the hot air balloon is rectangular and attached to the balloon by two ropes. The basket is empty, without passengers.
