Description
Resent is a common emotion in the artistic community I don't think is talked about enough. I personally have a long history with resent, that either being in everyday life, in family, friends, situations, and especially my art which is the one thing that is most special to me as an emotional outlet.

I know many people regard it as a negative emotion and in a way, it is, but I think it's appropriate if people had a more open conversation about in order to overcome it. I think it's natural to feel resentment when you see a more younger artist that seems to be at a higher skill level then what is expected, to compare their work to your own and how much effort you put in.

I think the most important thing for an artist to do when feeling resentment is to reflect, to not compare your self-worth and recognise your own achievements as an artist. Thinking of the good things, recognise your skills, acknowledge your good qualities and don't let it bring you down.

At the end of the day, art is art, while resentment is an emotion that doesn't have the best record we need to recognise it to overcome it. Life isn't a race, nor is art.
