Chronicles towards our fleeting ruse : my first thoughts
<p>well... Hello to all my lovely readers the whether it's your first time reading my works or you've stumbled into one of my past works by accident.</p><p>My name, or rather my "name," is Echo Vale, and I write to share expressions I have never spoken aloud, making this a safe space for the emotions I could never say, but have always felt</p><p>A brief description of me? someone who difficult in term of expressing herself properly in every context, I often wondered why, but you could say that is my many many flaws. </p><p>As someone approaching her final dance through university, I have naturally accumulated my share of regrets. Not anymore, though. I have come to understand that they are part of me, lessons left behind by a version of myself willing to learn from her mistakes. And well, that most certainly has not been easy. </p><p> Eventually as time passed i realized that my past self would never have even imagined, because back then i dared to mock feeling that i had never felt before.</p><p>But could someone answer this?</p><p>How does one feel a feeling so precious that i can hardly ever call it my own?</p><p>How does one love a love so precious it feel like i was only in the fields of clouds?</p><p>How does one become part of a story when they arrived only at the epilogue?</p><p>Just how does a feeling that was meant to make me cry instead made me feel amazed at the beauty of our creator?</p><p><br/>So, this is the chronicles towards our fleeting ruse starring me, Echo vale. Truly known to very few and will be remembered by even fewer, a mere by stander that learnt to appreciate to beauty a bit to <a class="tc-blue external-link external-link external-link" href="https://late.yet" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">late.yet </a> was fortunate enough to make the right turn towards the sunset.</p><p>So dine with me as I take my final dance, aware that its ending was written from the very beginning, as I share my perspective on the smaller world I was fortunate enough to notice before it was too late.</p><p>Stay tuned!^^</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.
