<p>I act like I’m okay, but deep down, I just want to disappear for a while.</p><p><br/></p><p>I want to share a blunt with a man in a dimly lit room, slow Omah Lay playing through the little inbuilt speaker, the kind of song that makes everything feel slower. No phones. No notifications. No responsibilities. Just us, completely lost in the moment.</p><p><br/></p><p>I want to be wrapped up in my lingerie, curled up against him, both of us high asf and laughing at absolutely nothing. I want to feel close to somebody without having to explain why I’ve been so tired lately. Without having to pretend I’m okay. Without having to be the strong one for once.</p><p><br/></p><p>I want us both to be fucked up enough to forget what we were supposed to be worrying about.</p><p><br/></p><p>Our life problems are probably just chilling outside the room, waiting for us to come back to reality. But for those few hours, they can wait. We’d exchange liquor, smoke, talk shit, laugh too loudly, kiss, get lost in each other, and pretend the rest of the world doesn’t exist.</p><p><br/></p><p>And maybe I’d tell him things I normally keep buried. Maybe I’d admit that sometimes I don’t know what the hell I’m doing. That sometimes I just want somebody to hold me without asking me what’s wrong. That sometimes I want to be wanted so badly that I forget I’m supposed to be protecting my heart.</p><p><br/></p><p>I don’t even need some perfect romantic ending.</p><p><br/></p><p>I just want the kind of closeness where I can finally stop thinking for a while. Where I can breathe. Where I don’t have to explain myself. Where I can just lie there beside someone, music playing softly, and feel like maybe life isn’t completely unbearable.</p><p><br/></p><p>Maybe the room gets messy. Maybe the night gets loud. Maybe the neighbors start wondering what the fuck is happening next door.</p><p><br/></p><p>I honestly wouldn’t care.</p><p><br/></p><p>Because for once, I don’t want to think about everything that hurts.</p><p><br/></p><p>I just want to feel something that doesn’t.</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.
