Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness.”

Always give credit where credit is due.

She didn’t think I’d notice…I follow her…

I’d given her hair advice, and she said not a word. I thought nothing of it.

Going through my profile is wild. All women do it.

Copying my signature looks?

This woman has millions of followers on instagram. All she had to do was give a little credit. Instead she took my advice, ran through my profile and attempted to copy me.

She’s beautiful and doesn’t have to do this, but did so any way. Influencers seem to be soulless.

Here are some other interesting points. I’m not just no one. I’ve been around for a long time. I’m well known enough to be inducted into the Marquis’ Who’s Who…? I’ve also self published for thirteen years, and have held a large number of fans for a while. (Even AI knows who I am)

She made this decision off of the assumption no one would notice, but I did.

At first, as mentioned, I was flattered. But I blocked her, and here’s why –

If you have that many followers and cannot give people credit, your story of addiction and self identity are fake, then. There are so many questions going in my mind right now, I rest on one.

Does it make you feel better, lying to yourself?

On the other end, this isn’t new territory for me 😅

I’ve had influencers and celebrities copy off of me and not say a word. I did find that all of the entertainment industry was fake, and worked on realizing they can copy me all they want…they’ll never be me.

Or be happy.

My life is interesting, isn’t it!
