<p>I used to see loneliness as a punishment—now I see it as a mirror .</p><p>It held up everything I was avoiding in myself:</p><p>My need for validation , my fear of not being chosen ,my silence when I should’ve stood tall.</p><p>And in that mirror,I slowly found the version of me that didn’t need to be liked to feel worthy.</p><p>I didn’t have it all figured out—but I’ve learned that peace starts when you stop begging to be seen and start choosing to see yourself.</p><p>Self-worth isn’t built in crowds.</p><p>It’s built in a quiet room, when you finally decide that your own presence is enough.</p><p>I used to feel like being alone meant a I wasn’t loved but now I understand—solitude can be sacred.</p><p>It’s where I started to listen to myself without interruption .Where i realized that people not showing up didn’t mean I wasn’t worth showing up for.</p><p>Some days ,the silence still stings.But more and more ,I find comfort in the stillness.</p><p>Because now,when I walk into an empty room ,I don’t feel incomplete.</p><p>I feel whole—because I’m finally showing up for me .</p><p>Self-worth isn’t loud .</p><p>It’s doesn’t need to prove anything.</p><p>It’s the quiet knowing that:Even if no one claps,you’re still the reason the sun rises inside your own chest.</p><p>I don’t chase being chosen anymore.</p><p>I choose myself.</p><p>And that’s where the healing began .</p>

Got a gentle thought on your heart?send it my way.Your words might be what someone else needs today.
At the end of the month, we give out prizes in 3 categories: Best Content, Top Engagers and
Most Engaged Content.
Best Content
We give out cash prizes to 7 people with the best insights in the past month. The 7 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.
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 "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 "Monthly Contributors" tab on the rankings page.
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.
Contributor Rankings
The Contributor Rankings shows the Top 20 Contributors on TwoCents a monthly and all-time basis.
The all-time ranking is based on the Contributor Score, which is a measure of all the engagement and exposure a contributor's content receives.
The monthly score sums the score on all your insights in the past 30 days. The monthly and all-time scores are calcuated DIFFERENTLY.
This page also shows the top engagers on TwoCents — these are community members that have engaged the most with other user's content.

Here is a list of metrics that are used to calcuate your contributor score, arranged from
