It’s instinct.</p><p>My mind wakes before my body,</p><p>and the first thought it reaches for is you.</p><p>Unashamed. Unfiltered.</p><p><br/></p><p>Almost embarrassing in its purity.</p><p>Wanting you feels like a quiet fever.</p><p>Not painful, just persistent. </p><p>A soft heat behind my thoughts,</p><p>a pull I can’t explain even to myself.</p><p><br/></p><p>I look out my window the way kids check for rain every few minutes, </p><p>just in case the sky changes.</p><p>Just in case it’s you at the gate.</p><p>Just in case a normal day decides to give me something miraculous.</p><p><br/></p><p>You don’t say you love me.</p><p>You refuse. Gently. Stubbornly.</p><p>Like someone trying not to speak a secret they already lost to.</p><p>I hate it.</p><p>Not because I need the words,</p><p>but because silence has a way of making me doubt my own eyes.</p><p>Your gestures say one thing.

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.

The monthly score sums the score on all your insights in the past 30 days. The monthly and all-time scores are calcuated DIFFERENTLY.
