You brought up so many real and imagined feelings that creatives have. Especially the joy/jealousy issue that happens every time an artist sees something amazing ( the joy) and thinks he/she should have/ could have made it happen first. I relate to that. Happens all the time.So much of building a career has starts, stumbles, back slides and starts again. It takes a concerted effort to push those thoughts away and just keep putting the work in. If you believe in yourself and put the work in anything is possible. You got this!

Good piece Ed, very real. I reckon its not just professional jealousy though, that's an all too common human reaction that lurks under the surface for most of us mere mortals!

Keep the spirits up and talk soon, Roj
