<p>It’s currently 10:19 p.m.</p><p>I sit here under the rain, eyes filled with tears, a heart overwhelmed with emotions, a mouth whispering to its Lord, and a soul that’s tired.</p><p><br/></p><p>I sit at the edge of the wall, where the roof only slightly shields me from the rain. My hijab and abaya are soaked, dampened by its gentle touch.</p><p>My skin is cold, freezing like ice in a refrigerator but what’s inside me is burning.</p><p>It can’t take it anymore. So I cry.</p><p><br/></p><p>Eyes clouded with tears.</p><p>Mouth repeating, “Ya Rabb… Ya Rabb…”</p><p><br/></p><p>I say I’m strong… but am I really?</p><p><br/></p><p>I hold in my emotions like a wall blocking every feeling from showing. I convince myself I can handle it all, even when I know I lied to myself.</p><p><br/></p><p>But tonight, I let it out.</p><p>All of it.</p><p><br/></p><p>I’m not strong.</p><p>I'm far weaker than I thought.</p><p>And for once… I don’t care.</p><p><br/></p><p>Because holding it all in was never the answer.</p><p><br/></p><p>We lie to ourselves, saying “I’m fine” when we’re not.</p><p>We scroll endlessly, trying to numb the pain, covering invisible scars.</p><p><br/></p><p>But today, I tell myself this:</p><p>I’ll let it out but only to my Lord.</p><p>I won’t feel shy in front of Him. I’ll cry loud, deep into the night, because I know He understands every pain, no matter how small.</p><p><br/></p><p>He hears. He sees. He knows.</p><p><br/></p><p>So I wrote this to you, human:</p><p>Cry if you need to.</p><p>Write if you need to.</p><p>Break down if you need to.</p><p>Because it’s all part of the journey.</p><p>A messy, raw, beautiful journey.</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.
