OCD's support is expanding!
Hello everyone! This is the 2169th 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.
How this Works
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:

The days of December are now behind us, along with their traditional food—which, by the way, I enjoy very much—but it's time to break out of the routine and rediscover new flavors. Today I want to introduce you to a place in Maracay that had been on my to-do list for a while: Bulls.

I remember that it was very difficult for me to socialize because I saw everyone crazy, I came from reading a book in one day and there were those who boasted of reading one in hours, others read possessed and for me that was the cheesiest and unthinkable thing on the planet, that is, they read poetry and if necessary they died for it. The truth is, it didn't take me long to realize that I was also a crazy person.

Hello, friends of Hive, how are you? Today I'm going to show you the villager farm I made in a world I play with Miranda.

Today I am very happy to start this new year singing for another week in this space. We have reached week 300! It's easy to say, but it represents years of laughter and tears, of love and dedication to bringing good music. Congratulations to the entire moderation team for introducing us to this beautiful community where each of us expresses through music what we cannot express with words. This community has seen me evolve, experiment with my voice, and perform on a low budget (laughs). That's how today's artists evolve: getting started is the key, staying the course is the challenge. As you may have noticed, I took these months off to enjoy time with my partner, since we've only been together in person for nine months, but have been in a long-distance relationship for a year. To take time to reflect, to continue building. Sometimes it's good to take time to rebuild and find ourselves.

The group consisted of seven men, but none of them wanted to talk about it. However, they were clearly concerned. They decided to go bathe in the river, and the boy accompanied them to the crossroads leading out of town and then turned back. Along the way, none of them said a word; they walked with their heads down, somewhat terrified. “What is going on here?” they wondered; fear prevented them from enjoying the beauty of the place and the singing of the birds.

Good evening, friends. The photos I want to share with you today are for my new client, Mariale. Her sister, who has been my client for several years, hired me to attend her 15th birthday party, held at a restaurant where they set up a photo booth to capture and preserve moments with family, friends, and loved ones who attended. I arrived around 10:00 p.m., and almost all of her guests were waiting for her to come out. When she did, after the greetings, we got down to work in an organized manner and managed to capture all those moments. It was a quick shoot, but it will last forever, and we really love the results. I'm sharing them here for you to see. I hope you like them as much as we do, and if so, let me know. I'd love to hear from you. Cheers, and see you next time, friends.

In other words, it regenerates the hair from within. It's not just another protector, but rather it rebuilds the damage already caused by hair treatments, heat, etc.

Sometimes we think we are the sole owners of our narrative, but reality shows us that there are chapters we do not choose and complex situations we have to navigate. In our country, we have experienced processes that have marked us in a very intimate and profound way. For me, these times have not only been external events; they have been moments of uncertainty that forced me to close the book for a moment to breathe. However, it has been precisely this context that has led me to reevaluate everything. I am no longer interested in writing about great material goals or successes that others applaud; today, my most important paragraphs speak of the joy of being present and what really makes me vibrate.

... because I finally remembered where that hint of a lesson was pointing me ... it's a long strand, but I considered that the moon can be up reflecting the sun but we will not see it or the stars in the sky ... they are hidden in greater light. We will not from here discern the details of the sun -- it is too bright, and will destroy our eyes if we attempt it. That is first natural principles ... back of that, one gets to what is said in Scripture about God, Himself -- invisible, (because) robed in light that no one can approach.

Greetings to everyone in the community. Today I am joining you here to share with you a new pictorial adventure. On this occasion, I bring you the first mini paintings from the new pictorial series I am working on, which has the aquatic world as its theme. Using aquatic fauna and their surroundings to create some interesting things. The idea came from my interest in immersing myself in these creatures, as I had never tried them before (perhaps very, very briefly, but nothing recent), and I really regret not having done so before, as I am really enjoying working on them thanks to their intense and saturated colors. It's also quite a challenge, as for this color palette I only have red, blue, yellow, and black/white, which doesn't give me the range of colors I need. For example, I urgently need some magenta and cyan.
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.
