“Is there someone else ?” Is one of my favorite songs from The Weeknd.
My ex boyfriend and I got to that point in our relationship where we asked ourselves “what the fork are we doing?” And while we knew that our relationship was sinking, I never for once thought that there’d be someone else. We were both going through things, individually and as a couple.
I was going to order food from Kilimanjaro and MTN was acting up. I turned around to ask him for his phone but as soon as I turned, he fidgeted. Mind you, we were laying on thesame bed and we both had access to each others’ phones because we had a thing called transparency. “What is the matter?” I asked, but he said it was nothing. I noticed he had been on WhatsApp, clearly texting someone. “Who are you texting”
“I said it’s nothing, I was just distracted. Do you want something?”
“Nope, I’m good” I replied. In that moment, it clocked that there could be someone else.
Before that day, I had hardly ever gone through his phone. Sincerely, I had no reason to do that, until that weird incident. I gave it a few days, put on my boots and glasses, with a handkerchief in my pocket (just in case). It was time for me to snoop !
On the morning I snooped, I waited for him to go to the bathroom for his usual 5 hours shower- 25mins actually but it seemed longer than that for some unknown reason. I unlocked the phone with my shaky hands. Why were they shaking ?? I saw someone say on Twitter, that the adrenaline from snooping through your partner’s phone was on a different level. There I was, confirming that it was true. I opened the phone and went straight to business. I remembered the “conversation” was happening on WhatsApp and the name I saw looked like Sandra or Sonia- not sure but something with an “S”. So I clicked on search icon and typed “S” The only name with an “S” was Sharon. Sharon, it is then !
I opened the message and the last message was from Sharon “gudnight luv”. Such a low life, she can’t even spell!
I knew there was still time but it felt like I was running out of time. There wasn’t time to scroll so I just typed “love”. No results. Okay Sharon, he does not love you. Then I typed “luv” 17 results; most of them were from Sharon “hi luv” “gudnight luv” “okay luv”. Sharon has a serious problem. Who spells this way in 2023 ? Then I take a step further and search “sex”. Bingo !
“What is your favourite sex position” and the message wasn’t from Sharon. Why is my “boyfriend” asking Sharon such a question?. Could it be that… never mind. I’m running out of time, so I search “kiss” and I’m not ready for the results. “I enjoyed kissing you today”. I knew I had arrived at my destination.
From my investigation, I uncovered that they met on new years’ eve and they had hung out a couple of times. The were already making plans to copulate.
If you ever feel like there is someone else, I’m here to tell you that you’re not crazy and there could actually be another person, or a bunch of people. I’m here to encourage you to go through that phone today. I endorse snooping (especially with reason) But be ready for literally ANYTHING. Except you want to be ignorant, After all… it’s bliss. Cheers 🥂
Have you ever gone through your partner’s phone before ??. What did you see ???
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 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 "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.
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.

Monthly Score
The Top Monthly Contributors ranking is a monthly metric indicating how users respond to your posts, not just how many you publish.
We look at three main things:
1
How strong your best post is —
Your highest-scoring post this month carries the most weight. One great post can take you far.
2
How consistent the engagement you receive is —
We also look at the average score of all your posts. If your work keeps getting good reactions, you get a boost.
3
How consistent the engagement you receive is —
Posting more helps — but only a little.
Extra posts give a small bonus that grows slowly, so quality always matters more than quantity.
In simple terms:
A great post beats many ignored posts
Consistently engaging posts beat one lucky hit
Spamming low-engagement posts won't help
Tips, comments, and upvotes from others matter most
This ranking is designed to reward
Thoughtful, high-quality posts
Real engagement from the community
Consistency over time — without punishing you for posting again
The Top Monthly Engagers leaderboard reflects what truly resonates, not just who posts the most.
