<p> I walked past the mirror but paused after a quick glance. My reflection had stopped and was staring at me with anger burning like a flame in her eyes. </p><p> I turned to fully face her, looking very confused, " Wh-what is it? What did I do?"</p><p> "Are you really asking me that?" She asked, looking even more annoyed.</p><p><br/></p><p> I blinked at her, "Um, I don't know-"</p><p><br/></p><p> "When was the last time you came to check me?" She cut me off sharply, crossing her hands infront of her chest like a mother demanding answers from her teenage child. "When was the last time you looked at me?"</p><p><br/></p><p> I was even more confused. Where were these questions coming from? </p><p><br/></p><p> "Don't you dare look at me like you don't know what I'm talking about." She continued. "You find it hard to look at me because you're ashamed of me. I'm not the 'perfect' body you seek so you avoid me." </p><p><br/></p><p> "No, no. That's not what-"</p><p><br/></p><p> "There's no excuse you can give that would make any sense now. I am imperfect and so is everyone else. I have flaws-- we have flaws and so does everyone else. Why then do you not have confidence in me? In us? Why do you deny the beauty and dwell more on the little imperfections? Why do you compare me to others? No imperfection is the same but certainly nobody is perfect. Why don't you see that?"</p><p><br/></p><p> "It's not entirely my fault! Have you heard what they say?"</p><p><br/></p><p> "Why should it matter? People will always talk. Why do you fill your head with their words alone? What about your voice?" </p><p> She paused for a second before she asked one last question that broke me, "Why don't you love me? Why don't you love you?"</p><p><br/></p><p> I shook my head in denial, "No, I-...I do. I just-" I had no excuse left. </p><p><br/></p><p> She smiled sadly "You don't. Not as much as you should."</p><p><br/></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.
