<p>There’s a voice that says,</p><p>Just take the first step — it’s gonna be fine.</p><p>And then there’s another one that wants it all at once —</p><p>no waiting, no process, just results.</p><p><br/></p><p>But maybe… you never know until you try.</p><p>Maybe that’s why I never tried.</p><p>Because fear sometimes sounds like wisdom,</p><p>and overthinking feels like preparation.</p><p><br/></p><p>Then there’s me —</p><p>the girl who wants to get it right every time,</p><p>as if being perfect is the only way to be enough.</p><p>As if mistakes cancel everything else out.</p><p><br/></p><p>So I listen to the voice that says,</p><p>Be fast. Be sharp. Start already.</p><p>But this isn’t a movie,</p><p>and there’s no perfect scene waiting to happen.</p><p><br/></p><p>Still, another voice, much softer, keeps saying,</p><p>Just try.</p><p>It’s gentle, almost desperate.</p><p>And I feel pulled —</p><p>not by people, but by everything I told myself in my head</p><p>that I haven’t lived up to yet.</p><p><br/></p><p>Some days, I just want quiet.</p><p>I'm tired.</p><p>Tired of holding back dreams</p><p>because I’m scared they’ll break midair.</p><p><br/></p><p>But not today.</p><p>Today, I won’t stand still.</p><p>I’ll move — even if I don’t know the direction.</p><p>I’ll rise — even if it’s not perfect.</p><p>I’ll speak — even if I tremble.</p><p>I’ll try — not because I’m ready,</p><p>but because I’m finally letting myself begin.</p><p><br/></p><p>And maybe in this tiny motion,</p><p>with no applause and no spotlight,</p><p>I’ll hear something honest.</p><p>I’ll hear me.</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.

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