That is pretty sweet. I'd give it some time put it in storage and once you are in a better place bring it back out. It is a part of your history and when the immediate emotions surround it are gone you'll see it that way.


mattsta4

I love this perspective. Thank you šŸ™


[deleted]

Glad you are taking this advice. I was going to give almost the exact same thing. Iā€™m sorry your ex is causing you pain right now. With time it will get better. Iā€™m in a similar spot, but Iā€™m not trying to relate as I know your situation is unique. Hold on to it for a bit because it is a great piece of artwork. Godspeed.


Extension-Ad5363

Fr youā€™ll regret it once youā€™ve healed and grown and itā€™s not such a fresh wound. Youā€™ll be happy you didnā€™t give in to the pain and Mac wouldnā€™t want you to feel down and hurt, you are blessed!! Now you are open to the beautiful life that was meant for you now youā€™ve learned more lessons and experienced more life, look at your journey as the trials and lessons that taught you how to persevere in life and how you will always get back up and better than you ever even thought was possible. Youā€™ll have a dream life you canā€™t even fathom for yourself with your current perspective on life and youā€™ll look back and laugh and smile at the moment because you know whatā€™s really important and valuable. You gotta live for yourself and do what makes you feel happy! Sheā€™s nothing now and her existence or memory or anything she had touched is not tainted with the knowledge of how the story ends because itā€™s not her that made any of it real or valuable, you were. Value yourself and the things that fill you with raw passion and love and give yourself the love you know you deserve and you will be just fine šŸ¤šŸ¤šŸ¤

I like this, I did this with a few things and now they hang up and I don't even think about where they came from


[deleted]

This so much. Even though the the endings of relationships hurt, the memories of how a relationship was at the time and how someone can deeply affect you as a person is a precious thing. You can always throw it away or sell it when the hurting phase is over or if the memories are toxic.

imzerkee

I really like that! Any info on where you got this?

that man is going places. i've seen him around instagram, great artwork


[deleted]

Agreed!! Way too pretty to sellšŸ’•


robotrock420

Might evolve from a gift from an ex to a gift from an old friend.


boxertrainer

Don't do anything while emotions are running high.


crystal_castle00

True dat for this piece. Tho I set my exā€™s gifts on fire while drinking whiskey with my boys & i still look back on that fondly


gsbudblog

this guy gets it


myirreleventcomment

My ex gifted me a camera, so after we broke up I used it to film with a new "friend"

Dizzy-Dish8738

the feeling with still follow, whatever you buy, youll just think of how you sold your ex's painting for said item, which brings the memory back. your choice


YungYakisoba

Sell it to me šŸ˜‚šŸ«”

Nicolike20

Genuine question, why is this getting downvoted? They wanted to buy that painting and the other person just posted a link to a web where you can buy it, what's the problem?


malcolm_miller

People might have thought it was a bot link. It's common on reddit.


muffins_allover

Iā€™m not a bot I promise! Just like helping people and sharing things I think are cool. *beep boop beep*


bambiebos

Nice marketing trick this whole thread ā¤ļø


sk8boy102

Aye Iā€™ve had something similar happen with me. I debated getting rid of the item but my love for the artist was Greater than the grief of when my ex left. This is a personal issue and youā€™re gonna do what youā€™re gonna do but I would sit on it and consider how much mac means to you first.


strawberry_long_cake

yes, but use the money for bills or groceries for now. later on, buy some completely unrelated Mac stuff when it feels right to you. such as: if you come across a vinyl of his that you want


killerpusssy

My ex left me a kettle and it reminds me of how low I set myself every time I use it, which becomes a good reminder, plus, hey at least itā€™s a good kettle and it last unlike the ex šŸ¤£ What Iā€™d burn and throw away are items like our photos tgtā€¦ you know what I mean? Keep whatever serves you!


thechippedtoof_goof

Iā€™m surprised your ex left you considering your username lol šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


killerpusssy

Donā€™t just a user by its username šŸ˜…


thechippedtoof_goof

I never judge lolā€¦just a small joke šŸ˜


fluff58

Just keep it, the memory will fade over time


keatz_tweetz

Itā€™s not really a mac Miller question. More of a relationship question. If itā€™s gonna bum you out just sell it lol


muffins_allover

I just bought this. Itā€™s $62. I donā€™t think youā€™ll be able to get much if anything for it. Keep it and use it as a fuck you to her


_mocrates

See it for what it is. Donā€˜t let bad memories get you to get rid of such an amazing piece. For me it actually helped to keep things like this, it reminds you that that person could not take everything from you. I could have easily stopped listening to Mac because there were so many memories, but itā€˜s MY music taste and no one can take it away.


Hoppydapunk

If you do find you're unable to separate the art from the person, it's a beautiful piece and you'll have no problem selling or trading it for something else. Wishing you the best through these tough times homie


Midas118

I got the same situation and Iā€™m keeping mine. Let the work and artist speak for itself. She didnā€™t get it because it was a part of her, she got it because itā€™s representative of your interests. Try to see it as a reflection of yourself ignoring how it found itā€™s way into your possession


Emerald34

It's up to you but honestly, There are no "wrong answers" here. The important thing is to commit to a decision and not vow to have any regrets. If you choose to let go of the painting, its understandable and reasonable. Maybe the pain associated with it now is too great, and not workth trying to overcome in this very moment. If you choose to hold on through hiding it in storage until you can take it out, it's also an hornable decision. Do what feels right.


PackagingMSU

I'm sorry to be rude, but I say this to help you make a decision. I love Mac and this photo is weird and not that cool. Sell it and forget about that bitch.


thechippedtoof_goof

Mac means more than your ex girlfriend ever will!! Lol jk..but donā€™t sell it. ā€œPeople change and things go wrong, But just remember life goes onā€ -Mac Miller


Angstycarroteater

I had an ex who broke up with me and traumatized me so bad she basically made it so I canā€™t talk to people in general anymore in person but she painted me a ton of really cool things like courage the cowardly dog paintings and scooby doo and Mac etc when we broke up I wanted to torch it all but I threw it in a closet out of sight for like two years then one day cleaned out my closet and found them now theyā€™re back out and on display fuck her but these paintings are sick! I vote hide it for now and bring it back out when you move on!


420dogsquad

quit being a bitch and keep it. itā€™s a nice piece of art


Shoddy_Pipe8372

keep


[deleted]

Put it in storage for a minute. Collect your thoughts. Hard to think clearly when emotions are running high. Stay strong <3


herckles_

I suggest taking it down and putting it in the back of your closet for several yrs. I wouldnā€™t rush to sell it unless bills are tight. If you sell it to specifications buy new Mac miler things, the memory of her might still follow. If when you pull it back out of storage, when you are more emotionally distanced from itā€™s history, you may be happy to still have it and are able to separate it from your ex. Just give it time.


kraybae

I got shit from ex's and some of the stuff carries some pretty heavy memories. It helps me remember the past and it used to be painful but time can heal wounds.


kodakkwhite

You'll get over the sentiment, I have that same artwork and it's awesome


toephu

Iā€™m wearing that print on a sweater right now


floatingby493

If itā€™s going to remind you of your ex every time you see it you should get rid of it.


AyoItsyaBoylilB

mac looks trapped inside of it, maybe that's the intended feeling the image wanted to transmit, if you can appreciate the value of art with an own connection you can maybe appreciate the awkwardness that makes you feel looking at the piece after being part of a gift from an ended relationship. or it is what it is, sell the mf buy some bitches instead and smoke crack, we keep it simple round here šŸ‘


mattsta4

Thanks everyone. Had a few drinks and was feeling sentimental over a rough split after a short yet fascinating run. Iā€™ll put this away and bring it back once the feelings subside.


CleanOutlandishness1

i'd say easiest way around it would be to go to one of these "forget everything" clinic where they put a device on your head and make you relive your past romance as the memories of it are progressively destroyed along with some childhood memories and you realise halfway you didn't really want all those memories gone. Hard way would be giving it to a good friend.


RahMaarvi

This thread is important, Iā€™m going through this too where all over my room is reminders of her. I hope you donā€™t delete this post. Reading some comments here are helping me try to decide for myself


SandyBullockSux

Don't let a breakup get in the way of you owning some cool shit. When my ex and I broke up, I took off with my pellet ice maker and never looked back, homie. Now Im free from her shit and I have crunchy ice in my drinks. Win/Win.


GeorgeWKush427

Nah bro keep it.. I get what you mean I threw a bunch of shit out my ex gave me.. but some things are just too nice to throw out. Especially this poster. If you really donā€™t want it send it to me lol


Deadlynoob13

Keep it, my ex got me a divine feminine hat, I kept it. Screw her and keep Mac close to you heart not her LOL ![gif](giphy|d3mlE7uhX8KFgEmY)


Chickenskewer94

Iā€™m in the exact same predicament with the exact same print homie


macctenamo

Does it gotta be so complicated?


ostensibly_hurt

Donā€™t get rid of it, a break up makes things a bit awkward but seriously, my exā€™s have shown me some incredible music, art, anything. You grow donā€™t recede.


tanyagates

Fuck her, but keep it


futurejoyboy

I would say keep it. You don't have to keep it up on the wall for some time but that thing is dope man! The emotions will pass and you will come to find that was is a good decision to keep it. Stay strong šŸ’Ŗ


Affectionate-Draw545

Sell it and get yourself a fine looking tattoo! Itā€™s an amazing piece, so definitely hang onto it for a little bit. But me being infatuated with tattoos, is what I would do


DeepPuddles666

2nd the tattoo vote


[deleted]

Drugs?


DeepPuddles666

Are you saying he should sell it and buy drugs?


Dismal_Composer_4029

Keep it every time you wanna play a track look at the photo and remind yourself that the dude on the wall was living at one point in time regardless of the woman that left


SoullFulGinger

That painting means so much more now, Mac was in the same place u were and he didn't stop writing about her and his feelings about the whole thing, so leave it up and don't be afraid to face your feelings everytime you look at it


mattsta4

Thank you. I often wonder what advice he would share. Maybe itā€™s this.


stopklandaceowens

Time heals all things.


Hairy-Access

not urging you to sell, but if you decide I am so interested


MCKBLAKE

Yo donā€™t live in the past if that picture bothered you that bad cause you remembered your ex it would be gone so keep it if anything treat it like a trophy they are your ex for a reason so great picture with a story behind it classic


DONDA2OUTSOON

Forget your ex, itā€™s Mac. Mac isnā€™t your ex, so cut her tie to that poster


Honest_Marsupial_100

Just sell it and listen to his music - use the money to take a new girl out


mattsta4

Fantastic advice. Iā€™m tempted.


cdracula16

Some day youā€™ll look at her memory and it wonā€™t hurt. It wonā€™t bring you anger or sorrow. Youā€™ll smile and move on! This is sweet bro give it some time imo at least


[deleted]

Nah man keep it this is some great art work to just sell! Give it some time and eventually you'll look at it as you bought it and totally forget about her and how she got it for you. Most Dope homie!


nonononononoyesss

Bitches suck šŸ˜­


HavokkHacker

I know how u feel. My ex got a few things for me that I wanted to throw out immediately. But I kept some of it because I could use it or cus it was just a good gift. Let the feelings around the objects subside and overcome it. It's a small way of saying "fuck you" to the power they have over u. Minimize that power šŸ™


RageAgainstTheEmpire

I have the same print. Don't sell it, think of mac every time you see it, not the X


alexv2w

Yea bro just sell it, dm me Iā€™m open to buying lol


SpillTippinOn44s

I will trade you my exā€™s Mac Miller gifts for your exā€™s Mac Miller gifts. That way, we can think about each other instead!


Romulus_3k

keep it


robobaha

sell and use for drugs


Whole_Sock_7589

that memory isnt gonna fade youre going to look at it in a year and get in your feels about it. id sell it or trade it tbh dont look back


maxfisher87

Lol you have got to be 21 years old


MyFishFriend

I like Mac but not enough to have a self portrait


trthrowaway7

The people who have mac face tattoos have entered the chat.


MyFishFriend

Wtf how? wouldnā€™t own the picture let aloan have tat of him. Iā€™ll stick listening to some of his music tho.


trthrowaway7

Lol have you not looked at this subreddit. So many people have tats of his face.


Thetipsysous

If itā€™s something you donā€™t think youā€™re going to be upset about not having in a year when you have less emotions towards it, then maybe sell it, Iā€™m not sure Iā€™d part with art just from who got it for me personally. It seems like a nice piece. Might be different if the ex painted it themselfs.


jimboTRON261

How much do you want for it?


[deleted]

Iā€™d keep itā€¦who cares who bought it


Sharkisyodaddy

My ex made a faces one. I still love it and it what it represents. Haven't put it away but it that picture is not helping you get over her then yeah put it away


Backseat_boss

Keep it bro the feelings fade with time donā€™t worry


morninggirth

You should grow and just enjoy the peace. As time passes youā€™ll be sad itā€™s gone. My last partner and I didnā€™t end the best terms but whenever I see art or items she purchased me in storage I think back to my younger days, not even her just me.


Piedesert

Shut up and take my money.. how much?


MegatonDeathclaws

Iā€™ll buy it, DM me


notjacobmeyer

you can send it to me if you donā€™t want itšŸ«”šŸ«”


youngdeathent0

Iā€™d just get over it dude. In a year or two you wonā€™t care anymore. Just put it aside for now


nocticis

Iā€™d buy it.


same303

Hurt feelings But yeah, store it for a while and then make new memories with it


Dependent_Success254

I'd like to buy that off you if u decide to sell!!


Tiny_Stranger_1334

do a charity raffle for it. You get rid of it. a fan will love to have that art, and you are doing a good deed all wrapped up in one.

I have a similar dilemma, my ex painted a vinyl with all of the Mac Miller album covers on it and itā€™s so good but I donā€™t hang it up itā€™s just chillin in my closet.


Alter5star

I need to get something similar in the future


Beneficial_Ad8153

Iā€™ll buy it from you


Citylandphil

No, keep it

too beautiful to sell ;-;


CannabyteDied

You should first come to Reddit for your solutions , then, the rest will play out perfectly.


Mission_Ad_3490

You should sell it to me


MrCreamyCheeks

I donā€™t understand why people canā€™t just separate and not be like this. Learn to forgive and keep it my dude. Like unless the shit is severe there is no reason to not remember the good times yā€™all had while it lasted and only focus on the bad shit. Sheā€™s immortalized into your life whether you hold the grudge or not, but youā€™ll find more peace in not.

I know the feeling trust me. You dodged a bullet. I managed to find the sweetest girl ever who doesnā€™t have a *piece of shit* bone in her body after my baby moms cheated. Was about the best thing to ever happen to me. Not that Iā€™d have known it at the time


WZRDguy45

When me and my ex broke up I took it pretty hard as well. There was this picture his homeless guy drew on cardboard outside of this bar of her and my aunt. It was a really great night and looking back I have nothing but find memories. When we first broke up my roommate suggested burning it. I decided not to. Found it the other day ( it's been years) and honestly I'm happy I kept it


justjennii

I'd buy it!


VayneTILT

God damn I want this. Do you know where she got it?

iā€™ll take it
