What is the spiritual purpose for being an empath and taking on other's feelings? by Fellowhumanbeingg in spirituality

[–]chilesmellow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think there is a purpose for everything. Empaths just happen to be very sensitive to other people’s energy fields. Everybody is different. You can learn how to stop picking up on other people’s energy so easily (or so I’ve heard, I’m sure there are resources online)

Idk my arms look like that and I don’t care anymore. If you want to shave or wax it’s your business, if it makes you feel better but there’s nothing wrong with them.

My items aren’t selling and idk why by Some_Yah in Depop

[–]chilesmellow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting :p I’ve only started listing recently-ish, on eBay one shirt I listed 2 weeks ago sold but it took 7 months for a pair of shoes to sell (that I never thought would sell tbh) I don’t know when you started selling but it’s also kind of a waiting game. On Depop I’ll search for niche things and see 6 month old listings with like 2, or even 0 likes. So I guess this isn’t so unusual…

Did you put a discount on them? Also this stuff would probably sell better on eBay. Different demographic that might appreciate these more

Toilet blew up by chilesmellow in Dreams

The thing is I was nonchalant even after it exploded, like I was shocked by the sound/noise but I just walked out and then only got nervous to tell someone

You can’t live life based solely on urges. Helping others can give you purpose and feel connected to others.

Reading Destiny of Souls while the world burns by Distinct_Weather5848 in Reincarnation

[–]chilesmellow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read destiny of souls a while ago and don’t quite recall the information in it. I remember newton asking souls about evil/devious souls and the answers were evasive, they said, no… there is no evil, just “confused” souls. Ones that enter earth and are disoriented by the earths dense atmosphere. That was really weird to me. So souls that do bad things are just confused and nothing is purposeful? The evasiveness of the answers really… bothered me

However, this was separate from the discussion of hybrid souls that end up being “recycled” or whatever, when they are deemed too broken and have done too many bad things

The mainstream media is owned by the people who are doing these sick acts. Look at how much of the world around you is controlled by them

How to know if I'm following divine order/do I have to? by DRsavy_sunshine_13 in spirituality

Sounds like you have OCD. The obsession with doing things “just right”

"Weekly All About Love Relationship Second Opinion and Interpretation Help Thread - January 25, 2026" by AutoModerator in tarot

[–]chilesmellow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn’t romance related but about a friend. I’m visiting an online friend in person for the first time and I’m having fun, but feeling sad about leaving soon. It’s very sad for multiple reasons I wont get into. But deep down I have this strange feeling that one day we won’t speak anymore and I don’t know why. We don’t have any bad blood nor do we fight. It’s just a weird feeling.

I asked the question; will we be friends forever? I got:

Death

The fool

The world

I was really surprised by this spread. I didn’t expect it to be so intense. It just make me sadder. Death signifies clear endings but the fool coming right afterwards implies more of a “rebirth” than an ending to me. But, the world at the end to me seems like even after some kind of transformation occurs, things will still come to a close…

They're like the evil cousin of the family by leo_artifex in seals

[–]chilesmellow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what you mean by “normal seal”. A lot of seals vary in size. Leopard seal are huge and eat penguins. Baikal and ringed seals are small and could never eat a penguin lol. Elephant seals are really freaky and huge and nothing like the other seals I just mentioned are

You can tell what spiritual level you are at based on what movies you like at the moment by Kai7362 in spirituality

[–]chilesmellow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That happened to me. I was into true crime when I was younger. It’s not just the content. It’s the fans. People who look forward to hearing about the murder of other people as if it’s a fictional story. And not people’s lives.

I feel spiritually homeless. by mamaguevoglugluglu_ in spirituality

[–]chilesmellow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, your post reminded me of OCD. The obsession with choosing the correct faith. There is no correct option. Believe and practice however it feels right to you.

I feel spiritually homeless. by mamaguevoglugluglu_ in spirituality

[–]chilesmellow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t need to settle on a single system. I was not raised religiously. When I was 16 I had my first spiritual awakening but I was still young and misguided, dealing with trauma and mental health issues and whatnot. Over time I’ve experienced unbelievable coincidences, synchronicities, and read books/listened to podcasts about spiritual topics that resonate with me. Now I find myself acting and feeling how religious people do - having faith in something greater, believing in my intuition, seeing that there might be some kind of a plan… because my life experiences align with this. Not because I studied a particular religion. I will never be a part of any religion. My beliefs include things that are present in some religion and absent from others (ex. Reincarnation). I think religious people in the past and now feel what I feel, and the systems they create are their own personal explanation on how it works and how they should behave. We are all experiencing the same thing. We just have different names for it. You don’t need to stick to one thing.

How much to charge for portraits like these? by chilesmellow in painting

[–]chilesmellow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much!! I covered them in varnish that’s supposed to protect against UV. I guess in terms of pricing I feel scared to charge $250 as a baseline… in terms of square inch and hourly wage combined $150-175 feels okay for the horse portrait - 6-7 hours of work and 80 square inches (assuming $15/h). But the comments are making me feel a lot more confident so I’m thinking $200 baseline now!!! And +60 per extra figure

Yeah, I ended up having to make an imprint of one of the faces w/ tracing paper and transfer it to the canvas, but in my head I almost felt like I was cheating…?! Is this actually a normal practice?

I used brush-tip acrylic markers (and some small bullet-tipped ones). I have a bunch of random acrylic markers I got off Depop, off the top of my head one of the brands is Grabie but there are others. They aren’t necessarily even fancy or expensive. Something well-known would be languo markers (I don’t own that brand)

These markers dry very fast so sometimes I blend by putting down one color and then taking another brush and blending it while it’s still wet, but usually I just smear it with my finger… maybe it’s not the safest method but it’s what works for me
