<p>The last time we talked, she said, <strong>“I’ll make the sky pretty for you.”</strong> I thought she was being poetic, just saying something nice. I laughed a little and told her to get some sleep. I didn’t know she meant it. Not like that.</p><p><br/></p><p>She left that night.</p><p><br/></p><p>I begged her not to. Told her the pain wouldn’t last forever. That we could figure it out together. That I’d sit with her through the dark, no matter how long it lasted. But she was tired in a way I couldn’t reach. And maybe she thought letting go was the only way to make it stop.</p><p><br/></p><p>She didn’t belong in the sky. She belonged here with her loud laugh, her big heart, her weird playlists, and her way of making everything feel lighter.</p><p><br/></p><p>Now the sky does look pretty some days. But it feels wrong. Because every sunset, every soft morning light, every star... reminds me of what I lost. What we lost.</p><p><br/></p><p>I didn’t want a prettier sky. I wanted my friend. I wanted her to stay.</p><p><br/></p><p>But she left. Just like that.</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.
