<p>Feelings of inadequacy are terrifying, the unspoken whisper of “I’m not good enough.” I wonder if humans alone carry this weight. How can someone be so opposed to their own self, right here, right now?</p><p>Is this wound inward, inflicted by others, or the echo of our own self-judgment? Self, other, or both?</p><p>Many of us carry childhood wounds that never fully healed. Gaping vulnerabilities lie hidden, unnoticed, until they are picked at by hands that should never have touched our souls. Yet, over and over, we let them in. We allow our weaknesses to be examined, prodded, distorted, until we forget the shape of our own essence. We bend, contort, fold inward, and collapse, hating what we are. And this happens in real time, in the quiet corners of our minds.</p><p>A glance, a comment, a dismissal, these small echoes burrow deeper than they should, exposing raw places that fester because we trusted the wrong hands. And yet, we continue to extend trust, hoping for repair, only to be reminded of our fragility.</p><p>Some people are selective about who they allow into their energy, whom they give and receive it from. I used to think they were stuck-up. I was wrong. They are wise. Some of us learn these lessons later than others.</p><p>Perhaps that’s the path: to know oneself deeply, to find one’s own contours, to root oneself in truth before the world reshapes it. To recognize our worth before granting permission for others to distort it. To fold inward, not from fear, but from strength.</p><p>Know thyself. Find thyself. Be rooted in your truth or let the world write it for you.</p>
At the end of each month, we give out cash prizes to 5 people with the best insights in the past month
as well as coupon points to 15 people who didn't make the top 5, but shared high-quality content.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
