<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>"Oh but I'm not readyy" 😩</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>"Oh but I'm here now" </strong>said 20 whil<strong>e grinning widely at me like the devil himself. </strong>But I didn't find it funny cause I wish a lot of things were different.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><br/></strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong></strong>I wish my digital camera was not faulty cause maybe then I would have birthday pictures. I wish I could turn the hands of time back to two months ago, just so I could perfect my birthday plans. I wish I had a nicer phone. I wish this certain friend of mine was more ‘predictable’. I wish I didn't expect so much from this friend of mine too.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I wish I was more fleshy, yk? Just a tiny bit. I wish I wasn't "cute". I wish I looked more mature and didn't possess such babyish features because maybe then no one would harass me. Maybe then people would respect me. Maybe then I wouldn't feel so — small.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br/></p><p style="text-align: justify;">There are so many things I wish were different.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">But then I remember that I'm not the same person I was last year.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I think better now. I'm more cautious now. I still get scared, but I face it now. I no longer wallow in self-pity. I've improved socially — it's still kinda bad though 😂 — but I've improved. I'm more conscious of who God is now — I'm not near good, not to talk of perfect, but I'm trying. I'm so grateful for the good people I have around me. Oh and I'm so beautiful 🥹</p><p style="text-align: justify;">And I think that counts for something.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I'm a lot of good things now.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">And maybe that's enough.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Maybe I should be grateful for that.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br/></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Yeah, I know you wish for a lot of things right now. I know there are still things you look at and think, I wish I had that. I wish this was different. I wish I were different.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">But look around you.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Look at the little things you have. Look at the person you've slowly become. Look at the things you can do now that you couldn't do before.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Don't wallow in self-pity. Trust me, you're not going to get anything from it.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br/></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I'm not ready for this new era. Not even a little bit. 😂 But it's here, and I'm going to embrace it and make the best out of it ❤️. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">I'm grateful for who I am and who I am becoming.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Well, it's nice meeting you 20 and I hope everything good comes 🤝</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Happy 20th birthday to me. 🥹❤️</p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p>
At the end of the month, we give out prizes in 3 categories: Best Content, Top Engagers and
Most Engaged Content.
Best Content
Top Engagers
Most Engaged Content
Best Content
We give out cash prizes to between 7 and 20 community members with the best insights in the past month.
The winners are picked by an in-house selection process.
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 for the Best Content track
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.
Top Engagers
For the Top Engagers Track, we award the top 3 people who engage the most with other user's content via
comments.
The winners are picked using the "Top Monthly Engagers" tab on the rankings page.
Most Engaged Content
The Most Engaged Content recognizes users whose content received the most engagement during the month.
We pick the top 3.
The winners are picked using the "Top Monthly Contributors" tab on the rankings page.
Contributor Rankings
The Rankings/Leaderboard shows the Top 20 contributors and engagers on TwoCents a monthly and all-time basis
— as well as the most active colleges (users attending/that attended those colleges)
The all-time contributors ranking is based on the Contributor Score, which is a measure of all the engagement and exposure a contributor's content receives.
The monthly contributors ranking tracks performance of a user's insights for the current month. The monthly and all-time scores are calcuated DIFFERENTLY.
This page also shows the top engagers on an all-time & monthly basis.
Below is a list of badges on TwoCents and their designations.
