<p>If you can write,you should be able to send…</p><p><br/></p><p>Before me lies my diary, a book with a darkish fold cover. I assume it's black because it's a shadow of my thoughts, with my name, "Keeyra," inscribed on it. Do I know what secrets it holds? Maybe not.</p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;"> The message I never sent haunts me. I got lost in my own thoughts, overshadowed by the weight of my emotions. I opened my diary, my non-living twin that knows me best, but its pages were blank. Why? I asked myself. Oh, the message never got written down; instead, it occupied a room in my mind. Tears trickled down my cheeks.</span></p><p><br/></p><p>The Message I Never Sent</p><p><br/></p><p>I sat in my quiet apartment, staring blankly at the wall, my mind consumed by the message I had typed out on my phone. Six simple words: "I love you, Can I be yours?" But I never sent it.</p><p><br/></p><p>Months had passed since I met him in my dreams – the smile, the piercing eyes, the chiseled features. I felt a tap on my shoulder; it was my mom. "Get ready, we're going out tonight," she said. I glanced at my phone; it was only 3 pm. Who has vivid dreams in the afternoon?</p><p><br/></p><p>It's been months since I met my dream guy. I changed environments, and it changed me, but his face remained etched in my memory. He vanished from my dreams, and I couldn't bridge the distance between us.</p><p><br/></p><p>At a gathering, I heard a voice say, "Get to know each other better." I turned around, and my heart skipped a beat – it was him. I was lost for words, hesitant to reveal my true feelings. Our conversation was brief, and I never saw him again. I didn't cover up for myself now..I described myself in one word..He chuckled and that was all..Maybe he didn't like the real me.</p><p><br/></p><p>I drafted a message, my fingers trembling as I typed: "I could never say we could go back to how we used to... Every time I think back , I still miss you. Now our families can't even speak to each other. I still see your face when I sleep; I always love you,maybe we were meant to be strangers"</p><p><br/></p><p>But I was too proud to send it. I didn't want to seem weak or needy. The message remained unsent, a constant reminder of what could never be. I deleted it, threw my phone across the room, and let the tears fall.</p><p><br/></p><p>The message I never sent still lingers in my mind, a scar that might heal with time. Or maybe it won't. Who knows?</p><p><br/></p><p><a class="tc-blue external-link external-link" href="https://twocents.space/insights/tag/keeyra" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#keeyra</a></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.
