<p>Grief most often comes from losing someone you knew pretty well.
</p><p>Or at least someone you had a connection with.
</p><p><br></p><p>But mine is different,
</p><p>I’m grieving someone I barely knew.
</p><p>A distant crush.
</p><p><br></p><p>We never really talked.
</p><p>Only shared occasional nods.
</p><p><br></p><p>I remember him saying my name once,
</p><p>And I was swooned.
</p><p><br></p><p>But now he’s gone.
</p><p><br></p><p>Why does this hurt differently?
</p><p>His death.
</p><p><br></p><p>I’ve cried my eyes out.
</p><p>Questioned no one in particular,
</p><p>Would we still meet?
</p><p>Would there ever be a chance?
</p><p><br></p><p>In all, I wish I reached out.
</p><p>Had a proper conversation,
</p><p>Or got to know him better.
</p><p><br></p><p>But here I am, living on “I wish”.
</p><p>And learning so hard to stay in the moment.
</p><p>Because life doesn’t wait.
</p><p>It never will.
</p><p><br></p><p>So talk to that person now.
</p><p>Send that message.
</p><p>Because who knows?</p><p>There might be no tomorrow.

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.
