Meditation And Drawing

Another new drawing of mine focused on meditation and it's many forms.

Meditation And Drawing
Jacob Ruger

Hello!! I have been attempting to lead a life with less distractions to focus on friends, family, and school. In consequence to giving up most of social media, besides Odyssey and Facebook Messenger, I have been much more creative. Equipped with better tools, I have been able to create drawings that are much more sharp and clean looking!
Unlike my previous article on my top favorite drawings this article is going to focus on my most recent drawing as of Monday, March 13th. Also I am going to show you the drawing first and allow you to think about what it looks like to you and your opinion of it. Before moving on to the rest of the article I want you to hold on to that opinion and comment below what your initial thoughts where. This weeks drawing is a bit more straight forward than ones I have made before but I hope you still enjoy!


So this drawing is pretty simple and not too abstract. Nonetheless this drawing still is significant to me. Much like meditating, drawing helps me clear my mind and release a lot of stress and anxiety. Most of the time I can not simply sit still. I am just too fidgety, but if I begin to draw I become the most calm and focused people will ever see me. The person is sitting in a position that is facing away from the light. The reason why I chose this position was because I like the idea of feeling the world around you rather than seeing it. When I sit in direct sunlight, I usually sit facing away not only because it sometimes is difficult to see but also to truly feel the warmth of the light. I still close my eyes and feel the light wash over me and change the air around me bringing me to a new state of awareness of my environment. Let me know if any of you do this as well! I know the drawing isn't perfectly proportioned but as I continue to practice and receive advice from others on how to improve then one day I will reach an even better state of expression. Thank you for reading and remember to comment what you initially thought of the drawing.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
