<p>Sometimes it feels like this whole world runs on a script.</p><p>Like we’re programmed to act a certain way, talk a certain way, even dream a certain way all without realizing it. From the moment we’re born, everything is already laid out for us. What to believe, what success should look like, who we should love, how we should behave. It’s almost like life doesn’t give you room to just be.</p><p>You start to notice it more when you look around how everyone seems to move with this invisible rhythm, repeating the same thoughts, chasing the same kind of people, wanting the same kind of vibe. It’s like no one’s really free; they just think they are. And the crazy part is, the moment you act a little different, people look at you like there’s something wrong.</p><p>It’s hard to make friends in a world like that.</p><p>People don’t really want to know you they just want to feel the energy they already like. They want comfort, not understanding. They want reflection, not depth. Everyone’s trying to find someone who fits into their version of what “normal” feels like. And if you don’t, you get left behind, even if your intentions are pure.</p><p>Sometimes you catch yourself wondering are we really living, or just following the code written by everything around us? Are we still choosing, or just performing? Have we become so used to pretending that we’ve forgotten who we actually are?</p><p>The truth is, no one fully escapes it. We’re all a bit programmed. But maybe what makes life real is when you start noticing it when you start asking questions instead of just playing your part. When you realize you don’t have to move exactly how the world tells you to.</p><p>So maybe that’s the challenge to stop trying to fit the rhythm, and start creating your own.</p><p>To stop copying the energy you think people want, and start feeling your own.</p><p>To stop trying to be “enough,” and start being you.</p><p>Because in the end, the world already has enough copies.</p><p>Try to be yourself.</p><p><br/></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.
