This is a line drawing of a man casually leaning against a wall. His hands are tucked into the pockets of his pants. Legs are crossed at the ankles, with the right foot standing toe-up in front of the left foot, which is planted flat. The man is wearing a cardigan sweater over a collared shirt. The sweater is open. His faceless head is cocked to the left.

Lean into it

197 words about leaning into life for the fun of it. Read those words on The Davis Daily.

You’re looking at the corner of a room. On the left stands a tall floor lamp with a square lampshade. Beside it is a stack of cardboard boxes, some open and some closed. The boxes are piled unevenly in front of a folding step ladder. The ladder leans against the wall. A small potted plant sits on top of one of the lower boxes, and a small bowl rests nearby. To the right, a pair of double doors with glass panes reflects faint light. The floor and background are otherwise empty, emphasizing the stillness and sense of transition, like a room being packed up or moved out.

What no one prepares you for when an ailing parent enters the end game: saying the quiet part out loud in 531 words on The Davis Daily.

This is a drawing of a hand giving the middle finger. The hand is balled into a fist with the middle finger sticking straight up. The nail of the middle finger is visible. It’s cut short with a slight curve at the top. Three horizontal curved lines are below the nail, acting as wrinkles in the skin where the top knuckle is. Four horizontal lines are in the middle of the finger, like folds in the skin where the middle knuckle is. Two vertical curved lines are at the bottom of the finger, where the finger bone meets the fist. The thumb is bent around the index finger, with a sliver of the nail visible and a small line creasing the skin.

If you control how you think, you control who you are. Here’s the thing about neuroplasticity in 641 words on The Davis Daily

This is an image of a green curtain. The curtain is hung by a yellow curtain rod, which curves around to the right. The curtain hangs down and has several wrinkles in it. The wrinkles give the curtain depth, while darker green along many of the creases add shadows. The left side of the curtain is pulled back at the lower edge, revealing the back of a person. It looks like the person is hiding behind the curtain. They’re wearing a brown blazer, brown pants, and black dress shoes. Only a third of the person is visible. Their upper body and head are still tucked behind the curtain out of view.

Be the character you were born to play: a lesson in acceptance from funny fellow Jim Carrey. In 692 words on The Davis Daily.

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.
