<p><br></p><p>Anxiety doesn’t always scream. Often, it whispers just loud enough to rattle the bones, to drain energy, to make a simple decision feel like a life-or-death choice. In a world that never stops talking, scrolling, or comparing, anxiety has become an almost silent epidemic. It hides behind smiles, and polite “I’m fine” replies. But what does it really mean to carry anxiety through a world that demands performance over presence? This is the story of the silent storm.</p><p></p><p>Anxiety isn’t always loud. Sometimes it’s a quiet feeling that something’s wrong, even when everything looks fine. It’s the heaviness in your chest when you wake up, the endless loop of “what ifs” running through your mind. It’s second-guessing what you said five minutes ago or five years ago.</p><p></p><p>It doesn’t always make sense. You can be in a safe place, surrounded by people who care, and still feel like something is about to fall apart. That’s part of what makes it so frustrating. It shows up uninvited, without a reason, and refuses to leave. But here’s the quiet truth: anxiety is not a sign of failure. </p><p></p><p>Anxiety doesn’t make you weak, it makes you human. It’s something that many of us carry, often in silence. You might feel like you’re running in place, but just getting through the day is a victory in itself.</p><p></p><p></p><p></p>
At the end of each month, we give out cash prizes to 5 people with the best insights in the past month
as well as coupon points to 15 people who didn't make the top 5, but shared high-quality content.
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
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.
