OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 125th compilation post of OCD's latest curation efforts. It has been known that OCD has been supporting leading niche communities under its Community Incubation Program. However, there are still a lot of other niche communities not supported by OCD. This curation initiative will help in supporting those communities.

This newest curation effort aims to encourage authors to post in appropriate communities even if those communities are not under the incubation program. This will also encourage users to explore more into the different communities in Hive.

OCD curators and community leaders will find posts from other niche communities and recommend them for an upvote. Unlike those communities in the incubation program where curation is focused, this curation initiative is spread out. This will help find undervalued posts from smaller communities that deserve support.

This will highlight both the author and the community where the post is located. This way, smaller niche communities can focus on growing their subscribers and increasing the engagements within their respective communities. A small boost goes a long way.

Speaking of boost, here are the curated posts for this batch:

Wow! It’s been a long day. And it’s probably one of the first times that I’ve had a real sleep in and stayed in my pyjamas til noon in ages. It was so worth it. Tea in bed, catching up on the news (not too much new news other than our regular highlights of the last year), reading some of your blogs, reading a book and then I decided to make pancakes for the family.

Now, how are you? A question for someone and can be a question for me. Failures side by side, disappointments day after day, feeling miserable is always in your mind. Did you think by hearing this question that you are confident to answer it with, "I'm not fine?" or maybe you will just reply with a glimpse, you feel embarrassed after all. "I'm not fine" for me is the hardest word I can say, we are not the same so maybe not on your behalf.

Well the first one is a difficult thing to answer really. You see the idea of fame usually evokes images of glitter and fancy. Adoration oozing out of those that have the privilege to be in your presence. This is a thought that many people may have entertained especially at a younger age. Riches and money really go hand in hand with this kind of fame.

OMG why didn't I know about this community sooner. I am a fan of street food, so when I travel in other countries, I like to experience the local markets, eat the foods they usually eat, and see the souvenirs they are selling at the market stalls... That's why this place is an ideal and great place for me to show my posts and read all the other fellow bloggers posts sharing different markets and cultures. This is my first post in this community, if there are any mistakes please let me know.

I'm back to my local farmers market! This time I'm going early, at 10 AM, because they close at 2:00 PM, and I don't want to miss anything!

First things first. This Farmers Market is being held every Sunday in a nearby park called Riverview, and this is why: you have an amazing river view here! The view of Manhattan skyline from the Hudson river side, that is New Jersey. My all time favorite view, here is another edit in HDR (love editing!!!).

Good afternoon guys, it's sunday again and me and my partner both have our dayoffs at work on sunday so we decided to eat something special today. We ordered 1 kilo of pork lechon and both decided to just turn it into paksiw since we both love paksiw.

Paksiw cooking something with vinegar in it. So I prepared everything to cook a perfect paksiw. I sliced the pork lechon into small pieces together with the onion, garlic, spring onion and some green chili.

Just recently I had to act drama for a patient's relative. I knew the patient was dead. I checked his carotid pulse and I checked for pupillary dilatation. There was nothing showing life in this elderly man.

His son cried into my ear as I closed my eyes to feel if there was any pulse at all. "Please He was just breathing a moment ago, His chest was still moving."

I have the key code to get into the Garden out of hours and this morning I was there before Estates had opened the gates. As I walked towards the carp pond, a huge heron lifted from the water and zig-zagged across the sky before disappearing behind the trees.

Although we may believe that the natural cycle of living organisms is to be born, grow, reproduce and die, the reality is that in most cases, living organisms impart life after they die, just think of a fruit that falls from a tree, it not only decomposes at its feet but while doing so provides nutrients for the soil that supports the same tree, so life becomes life in a cycle of transformations.

But people have learned little from nature, we have become accustomed to a linear model where we take, consume and discard; and nature does not provide infinite resources, some are limited or take time to recover, so we can not continue consuming more than the planet is able to regenerate, otherwise there will be nothing left for the next generations.

I am pleased to join and participate in this initiative created and led by @rutablockchain with an excellent theme: "my emotions on hive" which I applaud, and thank you for motivating us to write, and somehow express ourselves. Every user has experienced a number of emotions here in hive, it is inevitable that this platform produces so many things in us. There are good days, others not so good. And that causes a carousel of emotions. On the good days we celebrate, we rejoice, and on the bad days, we get discouraged, and we might even get frustrated for not achieving our goals. A great friend who was the one who told me about this initiative and who told me about hive @Anthony2019 told me something that has remained in my mind, and will be indelible, of which there were two key words to continue on this great platform and those two words were: "perseverance and patience" without a doubt it is important to maintain consistency, so that people see our posts and have a high vote. And patience, because sometimes we do not achieve what we set out. I am new here, but in the short time I have I have learned a lot, and being here has helped me to improve myself every day, to give the best of me, to not give up, and to improve more and more with my content.

This concludes this batch's curation report. We would like to congratulate those who are featured and supported. Keep up the good work and continue to explore Hive Communities.
