OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 1784th 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:

It is a very interesting topic, although it seems easy to say what your qualities are, I must say that for my part it was not so simple hehe, it is not because I do not believe that I do not have, because we all have our good things as bad, but it is not always so easy to identify and talk about it, I think sometimes we do it but we do not name it, we just run in the day to day those qualities and ready, without expecting anything in return or see that it is something we are good at, perhaps by running all that is done, or at least it happens to me a lot.

I could say that I am currently trying to make up for lost time, but nothing could be further from the truth. Time, either is lost or simply invested poorly, we can never go back to recover it or do things differently.

But what I did manage to do was to resume my outings to reconnect with people, who like me emigrated to Argentina, and whom I knew in the city where I lived for many years, but the distances have been the point of disagreement, as they live far from me and our schedules are quite complicated.

I am taking advantage of the Monday mornings that I have free from work, to meet up with those old friends, who despite the distances, are still close to me. I sacrifice the housework that I usually catch up on during that time, but even though it is uncomfortable to come back and see everything half done, the gain of getting out of the city and seeing familiar faces has been worth every second invested.

Greetings people, over the weekend I told you that I was going to draw a lot because I had mixed feelings about a stressful situation I had with a patient, so today I come to show you some of what I did.

Do you remember that I told you that for sure we were going to see the evolution of my emotions through my drawings? Well, I think that's what happened to me, that's why I bring you these drawings, I usually bring only one, when I'm pleased with the result, but when I'm not, many times I just hide those drawings and never take them out again.

This time since I didn't like the result I decided to bring them to you just so you can see how everything makes sense in my mind, how everything starts in chaos and ends up finding tranquility in the end.

Many people see a bunch of stripes in a painting and don't understand how that can express any kind of emotions, well I am the opposite, those drawings I understand them very well, the lines, the colors and the shadows can really mean too much, that's why I understand when a painting costs thousands of dollars.

Today ending the month is celebrated Halloween and taking advantage of the invitation of this beautiful community and our friend @lionsaturbix today I want to show you my craft made with very inexpensive materials and recycled packaging, it is how to transform a container for candy, in a nice decoration that you can use as decoration, centerpiece, cotillion or to give the use you want.

So join me to learn!!!

It is a real pleasure to be here again with you in this week 23, and what better way than to remember a classic that today resonates in our ears and when we listen to it we can not stop singing, it is "Take on me" by A-Ha.

This song has an incredible story and that very few people know, it turns out that "Take on me" was released in 1984 but obtaining almost no success because the production of the song left much to be desired, which would lead to be re-recorded but still was not successful, but so much was the confidence of the musicians that in 1985 they recorded it again with a more pop-like version and it was released in the United Kingdom and the United States, resulting in a resounding success, but even more so when its official video was released where a lot of money was invested for the time, this shows us that no matter how many doors close we must keep trying that someday we will succeed.

It was 1 in the afternoon on Sunday when Mom called for Mama downstairs. She's shouting that I thought someone she knew passed away, and she wants to share it with Mama. This happened a lot of times already, so I really thought that's the reason. And because I kinda want to know what's happening, I followed Mom and listened to their talk. I learned that it's actually because Nang Helen invited us to her 80th birthday celebration at their house, and Mom wants to bring Mama. Mommy D doesn't want to come, so it's just us, three. Mom didn't really ask me anymore, it's automatic, I will accompany her whether I like it or not. Well, it's not like I don't want to go, who will ever say no to free foods, right?

Greetings, everyone! It's been a month since I embarked on my fitness journey. After accumulating significant weight, I finally resolved to resume exercising. On October 22, 2024, I started my fitness journey. The first day was only a chill and not intense to gradually reacquaint itself with physical activity. On the second day, I attempted to document my workout session by recording myself. However, upon reviewing the footage, I was struck by the realization of my size. With a renewed determination to shed extra pounds and reclaim my slim figure, I embraced a proactive approach to daily exercise. Initially, I had a consistent exercise routine, working out almost every day. However, unforeseen circumstances arose, forcing me to become inactive for a few days. As a result, my exercise routine was disrupted, and I could only work out on Sundays. Exercising, particularly in the morning, presents a significant challenge for me due to my busy schedule. I typically start work at 8 am, which requires me to juggle multiple tasks, including preparing breakfast for my family, ensuring my son is ready for school, and getting myself ready for work. After I began exercising, I reduced my carbohydrate intake and made an effort to consume healthier foods. Subsequently, I embarked on intermittent fasting. I decided to start fasting last October 24, 2024. Within the 16/8 intermittent fasting method, I start my daily eating window at 11 am and conclude it by 7 pm, resulting in a 16-hour fasting period followed by an 8-hour eating period.

CTRL (Control) is a story about an influencer couple Nella and Joe. They were admired by many people because their relationship seemed so perfect.

Who enjoys the garden in autumn, nearly winter, after finishing almost all vegetables and flowers? I do! In fact, I especially enjoy my garden after harvesting all of my vegetables in late autumn or early autumn before the blooming season.

I’m not sure I can fully explain why, but sometimes, I see beauty just before or after the peak moment. Of course, the lush, abundant atmosphere is also beautiful.

In Japan, there's a concept in Japanese aesthetics called Wabi-sabi (侘び寂び). Wabi-sabi is a worldview centred on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. Finding beauty in imperfection! That is exactly what I see in my garden in late autumn.

Sometimes we don't have time to take care of and fix our nails properly, well I tell you that I was in a beauty salon that I thought was great, since they treated me like a princess, haha. After visiting them, I had the motivation thanks to my visit to decorate my own Halloween nails and having a great result, I told my sisters and friends to decorate them too.

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.
