It was just a dream"..</p><p><br/></p><p>An illusion of what will never happen...</p><p><br/></p><p>This leaves me asking.."I hope I'm not the only one"😞...</p><p><br/></p><p>I live in a house where the statement "I love you" has never been uttered by anyone... Where hugs and kisses are regarded as a strange and ungodly behavior....</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>Three grown-up girls within the age gap of 18-24 are being treated like kids aged 7-13....</p><p><br/></p><p>Always locked up.....</p><p><br/></p><p>Always reprimanded when seen around the opposite sex.....</p><p><br/></p><p>Outfits must be chosen by the parents....</p><p><br/></p><p>You don't have a say even partaining to your own life....</p><p><br/></p><p>You can't even have friends,....</p><p><br/></p><p>Me celebrating someone by giving a shout-out to them on my social media handles is prohibited......</p><p><br/></p><p>Please....

I can't hold a proper conversation with someone for more than 5mins..... I can't walk up to someone and compliment what I see and like.... I can't even greet someone I know when I'm walking with either of my parents..... I can't be confident in what I'm wearing because they always look down on me..... I can't contribute a very important idea for the fear of being shut up by them..... I can't even sit down and have a proper conversation with them....</p><p><br/></p><p>I need to know if this is what Proverbs 22:6 meant by 'train up a child in the way he should go: so that when he is old, he will not depart from him'????</p><p><br/></p><p>Please I need someone to tell me that they understand before I lose it!!!!</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>I hope I'm not the only one????😢🥺🥺😞</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.
