<p>"<strong>Get out of my house, you have no place in this world."</strong></p><p><strong>"Why is she so quiet? She's dangerous. I don't like her!"</strong></p><p><br/></p><p>Those words didn’t kill me, but something inside me died that day.</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>Trauma... What is trauma?</strong></p><p>Psychologically: Trauma is not what happened to you, but what happened as a result of what happened to you.</p><p><br/></p><p>At that age, I never thought the word trauma actually existed, but I was familiar with the word numb. I became numb to my own feelings and separated myself from my body because it was too painful to be in it. I didn’t want to share the same mindset with myself.</p><p><br/></p><p>I went around seeking... <strong>Validation.</strong></p><p>For a moment, my nervous system forgot what safety feels like. 🥺</p><p>I lost my tears. My lacrimal glands stopped producing them. ☺</p><p><br/></p><p>I developed a pure hatred for the world. I had so many insecurities, and I hated the very womb I came from.</p><p><br/></p><p>I understood the phrase: <strong>Villains aren’t born, but made.</strong></p><p>Because I became a terror to myself.</p><p>Once a little girl with the biggest heart, one who loved unconditionally, became hatred herself... because I started hating unbelievably.</p><p><br/></p><p>Once a beautiful mirror turned into a dangerous weapon the moment I got broken. My emotions got mixed up.</p><p><br/></p><p>Others: Why do you smile so much?</p><p>Me: A smile can hide so much pain inside it.</p><p><br/></p><p>I became a Joker myself. I developed a smile not because I loved it, but because I was tired of being called a sadist. It spared me from the questions, and I became so manipulative that I made people drown in my illusion.</p><p>Once the one who got broken, became the one who pierced others with her broken glass.</p><p><br/></p><p>I lied when I said, "I loved being alone in my room." My room itself knows I disliked it because I got chased out of the world I should have belonged to.</p><p>My bed hated when I came close because it knew it was a second choice... forced to be with me! I forced it to hear me, but never gave it a chance to speak.</p><p><br/></p><p>I was fine for a moment because I had someone to transfer my aggression onto.</p><p><br/></p><p>My shadow hid from me because it got scared of me. My own reflection couldn’t believe itself.</p><p><br/></p><p>Others: Do you journal at night?</p><p>Me: Why should I? When my memories live rent-free in my head.</p><p>Others: Have you ever gone out to see a movie?</p><p>Me: Why should I? When the sun retires and the moon gets dimmed, my memories come alive. They give themselves a role to play. Each pain has a character to imitate.</p><p><br/></p><p>I once loved when people hurt me. Because the more you hurt me, the more vengeful I became. And the more vengeful I became, the more vengeance knocked at your door.</p><p>I became psychopathic. I learned how to memorize my family’s footsteps. I stopped being emotional.</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>HEALING!!!</strong></p><p>To escape the prison, I became numb to the fact that I was in prison. I had to silence my awareness.</p><p>I became proud of myself because no one knows what it’s like to be me.</p><p>I had no option but to heal. I got stabbed countless times, but I grew to know one thing: As long as the knife goes in, I must be willing to pull it out, stop the bleeding, and keep a bandage on the surface.</p><p><br/></p><p>To heal, I had no choice but to forget and forgive them.</p><p><br/></p><p>Definitely, there are people close to you who need healing. All I can recommend is—<strong>GOD</strong>!</p><p><br/></p><p>I just hope we learn that Home should be a safe haven, not a battlefield.</p><p><br/></p><p>During my spiritual therapy session, the greatest psychotherapist made me understand that "God gives His toughest battles to His strongest soldiers."</p><p>I am that one strongest girl you’ll ever come across...</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>Why? You ask.</strong></p><p>You saw my cracks? You kiddinggggg? No one knows how to hide their pieces better than I do! 🙂</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.
Contributor Score
Here is a list of metrics that are used to calcuate your contributor score, arranged from
