<p>The Call I Kept Ignoring</p><p><br/></p><p>Every evening, her mother called.</p><p>Sometimes, she answered.</p><p>But most times, she looked at her phone and said,</p><p>“Mom, I’m busy. I’ll call you later.”</p><p>And her mother always replied,</p><p>“Okay, my child. Take care of yourself.”</p><p>One evening, her mother called again.</p><p>She saw the name “Mom ❤️” on her screen.</p><p>She was busy with work, so she ignored the call.</p><p>“I’ll call her when I’m free,” she whispered.</p><p>But she never did.</p><p>The next morning, her phone rang.</p><p>It was her aunt.</p><p>“Come home,” she said, crying.</p><p>Her heart sank.</p><p>When she arrived home, she saw people gathered outside.</p><p>Her mother was gone.</p><p>She stood there speechless.</p><p>Later, she picked up her mother's phone and saw their last unanswered call.</p><p>Then she found a voice note.</p><p>With trembling hands, she played it.</p><p>“My daughter… I just wanted to hear your voice. I love you. Call me when you can.”</p><p>She broke down.</p><p>That day, she learned a painful lesson:</p><p>We often postpone the people we love because we assume tomorrow is guaranteed.</p><p>It isn't.</p><p>So, if your mom is still alive, pick up your phone and call her today. 📱❤️</p><p>Tell her how much you love her.</p><p>Tell her how much you cherish and appreciate her.</p><p>Ask how she is. Listen to her. Make her smile.</p><p>Because one day, you may desperately wish to hear her voice again—and there may be no phone call left to make.</p><p>Don't wait until someone's absence teaches you their value.</p><p><br/></p><p>Call your mom. While you still can. ❤️</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.
