<p>Hi guys. I haven't posted anything for a while now.</p><p><br/></p><p>I'd like to say it's because I was busy, and yes, I was busy, but it wasn't that.</p><p><br/></p><p>I've loved literature for as long as I can remember. I've basked in its beauty and embraced it as a habit. I took it as part of my life.</p><p><br/></p><p>So why have I neglected this aspect of my life?</p><p><br/></p><p>Perhaps because of my life as a medical student, plagued and burdened with the curse that comes from being one. Perhaps I began to outgrow it, but surely, that isn't true. I love literature. I love writing and reading. I love sharing unspeakable emotions and feelings through writing.</p><p><br/></p><p>So I ask again, why then have I neglected it?</p><p><br/></p><p>Perhaps it's because, as I grow, I begin to change my likes and habits. I begin to have other things occupying my time, my mind, my energy... my heart?</p><p><br/></p><p>No. Surely not.</p><p><br/></p><p>I have been shaped by literature, so why have I forsaken it?</p><p><br/></p><p>Honestly, I don't know.</p><p><br/></p><p>I don't think I ever really forgot about it. It just slowly settled into a corner of my heart, waiting for the time when I would call it out.</p><p><br/></p><p>And that's just how it is. Life does this thing where, at times, it tries to strip away your source of joy, especially with all its ups and downs that tend to drag one through turmoil.</p><p><br/></p><p>So no, I never forgot.</p><p><br/></p><p>I could never forget.</p><p><br/></p><p>And that's why, on an unlikely day such as this, I call out my inner pen and write my heart out to you, my readers, whoever you may be, if ever you may be.</p><p><br/></p><p>Perhaps this is my way of coming back.</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.
