This is a Work of Art in Every Way You can Think of.
Many people experience feelings of hurt and disdain when turned down romantically by someone they care about. You should not decrease your standards simply because you are no longer in a relationship with your ex-partner. This individual is not taken aback by the news because he is highly familiar with it.
It’s kind of cocky to compare yourself to a piece of art, but we think this person deserves some praise, so we’ll look past his cockiness. Declan, what you do with your life is like making a masterpiece in this modern age. Even though no one else “gets” you, that shouldn’t make other people value you less.
