<p>Does it ever get better?</p><p><br/></p><p>I’ve asked myself this more times than I can count.</p><p>Give me just a few moments of your time—I promise I’ll be quick.</p><p><br/></p><p>I know you’re going through something. Truth is, we all are. Every time, there’s always something. A problem, a struggle, a weight we never asked for. And sometimes, I can’t help but wonder: why does it never end? Why does life always seem to come with another storm? Why can’t things just stay normal, at least for once?</p><p><br/></p><p>People give many answers to these questions. My favorite one has always been: “we go through pain so that we can know happiness.” It sounds comforting, but if I’m being honest, it never felt completely true for me.</p><p><br/></p><p>For as long as I can remember, I’ve had awful luck. Nothing ever seemed to go right. At one point, I even believed I was cursed—or that I had done something to offend God. Growing up, I realize now that I was too short-sighted. I never really noticed the little things that went well. My eyes were always fixed on what went wrong, what was going wrong, or what might go wrong. And every time I think about that, guilt creeps in.</p><p><br/></p><p>Because deep down, I know God does love me. He always has. Even when it doesn’t look like it, even when I doubt it myself, His presence is there. I see it in the smallest gestures: the quiet reassurance that brushes against my heart, the unseen company when I feel most alone, the gentle push of motivation when I’ve almost given up.</p><p><br/></p><p>And I believe you’ve felt it too, in your own way.</p><p>No matter how dark it gets, there is always a light. Sometimes it’s small, sometimes so faint you almost miss it. But it’s there.</p><p><br/></p><p>Like a sprout in a drought—fragile, barely visible, yet proof that life still breathes, and hope is never fully gone.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p>
At the end of the month, we give out prizes in 3 categories: Best Content, Top Engagers and
Most Engaged Content.
Best Content
We give out cash prizes to 7 people with the best insights in the past month. The 7 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.
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 "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 "Monthly Contributors" tab on the rankings page.
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.
Contributor Rankings
The Contributor Rankings shows the Top 20 Contributors on TwoCents a monthly and all-time basis.
The all-time ranking is based on the Contributor Score, which is a measure of all the engagement and exposure a contributor's content receives.
The monthly score sums the score on all your insights in the past 30 days. The monthly and all-time scores are calcuated DIFFERENTLY.
This page also shows the top engagers on TwoCents — these are community members that have engaged the most with other user's content.
