I was debating whether or not to post this interaction, but after being on this platform for a while—being big in the public eye to some and small in the eyes of others—I felt like I needed to address it. I’m sure there are other people out there who have had similar interactions with someone like this.

E-Pal is NOT meant to be a competition. We have ALL been gossiped about and trash-talked, and I’m sure we’ve all had our fair share of “drama.” But when it comes time to actually talk about these situations, no one wants to admit their faults or acknowledge where they may have been wrong. Instead, people would rather ignore it and move on without taking accountability.

I am not mad, I do not hate this person, nor do I have any ill will toward the person in these texts. I WILL NOT AND DO NOT PLAN ON disclosing who sent me these messages, because doing so would NOT solve anything. In fact, it would be the OPPOSITE of what I am trying to advocate for with this post.

I think E-Palers—male, female, ESPECIALLY female, faceless or not—need to come together and LIFT each other up.

WHO CARES if your client orders from someone you don’t like? Who cares if someone you don’t like has the same medal, the same style, or the same ANYTHING as you?

Why listen to rumors about people you’ve never met and will probably never know personally? And WHY feel the need to add your own input about someone based entirely on what you’ve heard from others?

No matter your religion, your morals, your beliefs, or your personal feelings, EVERYONE deserves kindness—even when they aren’t the ones dishing it out. It is better to kill negativity with kindness than to allow it to consume you or change the way you treat other people.

I’ve been on E-Pal since 2024. When I first joined, I was only active for about a week and I was not faceless. I quit, then CAME BACK in January of 2026.

In the past six months, I’ve had different names, different personas, different styles—different EVERYTHING. Yet the MOMENT I change something that is even SIMILAR to someone else, suddenly I’m called a copier.

We are ALL one of a kind. Just because someone has or uses the same tone, medal, aesthetic, style, or ANYTHING else as you does NOT automatically mean they are copying you. And even if THEY ARE inspired by you, why allow that to bother you so deeply?

If anything, that means YOU are an inspiration. YOU became part of the blueprint. How amazing is it that something you created or did inspired someone else enough that they wanted to incorporate a piece of it into what they do?

Please, just be kinder to one another.

You don’t have to fake your emotions. You don’t have to like everyone. You don’t have to be their friend, support everything they do, or pretend that past situations never happened. Just show MUTUAL RESPECT.

We all only get ONE life. Don’t spend yours consumed by temporary anger, jealousy, resentment, sadness, or drama that eventually won’t matter.

There is enough room on this platform for ALL of us to exist, grow, succeed, and be ourselves without tearing someone else down in the process.

I love you all! ♡
