This isn’t the first time, and it probably won’t be the last.
People say you should take it as a compliment when your work is copied, but honestly? Sometimes it’s really hard to.

As creatives, we pour so much of ourselves into our work, and that’s why originality matters.
Social media designers, content creators, marketers...surely I’m not the only one who feels this way?
