<p>Everyone thinks the hardest part about having a crush is finding the courage to say, "I like you."</p><p>But I think the hardest part is pretending you don't.</p><p>Every day, I walk past you as if you're just another face in the crowd.</p><p>I smile politely.</p><p>I act normal.</p><p>I look away before you notice I was looking.</p><p>And somehow, I've become an expert at hiding feelings that grow stronger every single day.</p><p>You have no idea that the smallest things about you stay in my mind.</p><p>The way you laugh.</p><p>The way you greet people.</p><p>The way you always seem to make everyone around you comfortable.</p><p>You probably don't even know my heart races whenever our eyes meet.</p><p>To you, it may just be a normal conversation.</p><p>To me, it's a memory I'll replay a hundred times before I fall asleep.</p><p>Sometimes I imagine what life would be like if I told you the truth.</p><p>Would you smile?</p><p>Would you walk away?</p><p>Or would you simply say, "I never knew."</p><p>That's the scary part.</p><p>Not rejection.</p><p>Not embarrassment.</p><p>But the possibility that you'll never know how deeply someone cared about you.</p><p>So I keep my feelings locked away.</p><p>I celebrate your achievements from a distance.</p><p>I pray for your happiness, even if it doesn't include me.</p><p>I silently hope your dreams come true, even if I'm not standing beside you when they do.</p><p>Some people think love is about being together.</p><p>But sometimes love is quietly wishing someone the very best, even when your heart must remain silent.</p><p>Maybe one day, years from now, you'll read something like this and wonder if someone once felt this way about you.</p><p>Maybe you'll never know.</p><p>And maybe that's okay.</p><p>Because not every love story is meant to be spoken.</p><p>Some are simply meant to remind us that the heart can love deeply without asking for anything in return.</p><p>If you ever become happy with someone else, I won't wish you pain.</p><p>I'll smile.</p><p>Not because it doesn't hurt, but because real love wants the other person to be happy.</p><p>Even if that happiness isn't with us.</p><p>So here's to the crush who will probably never know.</p><p>The conversations we never had.</p><p>The feelings I never confessed.</p><p>And the memories we never got the chance to create.</p><p>Maybe in another time...</p><p>Maybe in another life...</p><p>Or maybe, this silent love was always meant to remain a beautiful secret.</p><p>❤️ Have you ever had a crush you never confessed to?

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.
