<p>Everyone wants to fall in love. Right?</p><p>Well, not me.</p><p>I've always been afraid of both heights and depths.</p><p>The risk of climbing.</p><p>The risk of falling.</p><p>The risk of hurting.</p><p>The risk of trusting.</p><p>Because the higher you climb, the farther you have to fall.</p><p>And the deeper you go, the harder it is to find your way back.</p><p>Don't get me wrong. I'm a sweetheart.</p><p>I daydream from time to time. I have my little fantasies too.</p><p>But I think I'm simply too serious for love.</p><p>I will not climb just to fall for the adrenaline.</p><p>If I ever take the leap, it has to mean something.</p><p>It's either completely—or not at all.</p><p>But then you realize something:</p><p>Love is not enough.</p><p>Not enough to make you look past poverty.</p><p>Not enough to make you look past narcissism.</p><p>Not enough to make you look past abuse.</p><p>Not enough to make you excuse the things that should never be excused.</p><p>Because sometimes, loving someone does not make them good for you.</p><p>And sometimes, the hardest part isn't admitting that you love them.</p><p>It's admitting that love isn't a good enough reason to stay.</p><p>"I love you" should be more than words.</p><p>It should be in how you remember the little things.</p><p>In how you listen.</p><p>In how you handle disagreements.</p><p>In how you work through problems together instead of making each other the problem.</p><p>I should know that you love me before you ever have to tell me.</p><p>I should feel it in the way you show up.</p><p>In the way you choose me, even when choosing me requires effort.</p><p>In the way love is not just something you say when everything is easy, but something you practice when it isn't.</p><p>Perhaps that is the kind of love that would make me take the risk.</p><p>The kind that makes falling feel less like a tragedy and more like flying.</p><p>The kind that would make me climb willingly,</p><p>knowing there is no guarantee I won't fall.</p><p>And maybe, just maybe—</p><p>I'd fall with a smile on my face.</p><p><br/></p><p>Like Icarus.</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.
