OCD's support is expanding!

Hello everyone! This is the 1349th 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:

As many know, I live in Margarita Island, but I didn't always live here, since I was born in a small town in Sucre state, called Güiria de la costa, but when I was 13 years old, my parents decided to move to Margarita, and since then I live in the same house, now with my own family and my mom.

September has just come to an end. For me it has been a month full of melancholy to the max. I don't know if you know this; I assume you do not. But as a child, the first name of the month I learned was September. It was due to spending a wonderful month with my mother, where she used to spend her afternoons singing at the top of her lungs the music of two bands that will stay with me until the last day of my life: The Beatles and Queen. My love of music has a very familiar genesis; part of how it began is in this story.

It was 2016, I was looking for a part time job because my freelance work was not producing enough money for me. I was no longer a young person, I was not sure what I could do. I saw on Facebook that a cultural institution, Hacienda La Trinidad was looking for guides to assist people who visited exhibitions. They were looking for young people but I sent my resume by email and I explained that I was not young but I love art and I was looking for a part time job. They answer my email and they asked me to go there for an interview and they hired me for the weekend only. It was the work I have enjoyed more in my life. I didn’t care that I had to work on the weekend, you know.

I will start this post today with a great quote from Osho Rajnnesh: We've all experienced moments when we felt like we'd "come home" - relaxed, grounded, free of all the turmoil that characterizes most of our daily lives. Those moments can occur in nature or in the depths of some activity we enjoy, alone or in the company of people we love. They show us that we are exactly where we should be.

There is only one person responsible for creating the timetables, and I think that is too much power given to a single individual. I imagine that man as a little dwarf with red horns, smiling Machiavellianly in his little cave as he types in his computer the schedules of his victims😈

There are people who gets thrilled by the idea of being outdoor and doing activities that require their skills and critical thinking. Sometimes it might be challenging and tiring to be out, but the adrenaline and excitement never fail to make us satisfied as people who love outdoor funs. And as mentioned on our introduction blog, we like activities such as fishing. So, here's a new blog to our outdoor adventure.

September is gone and we are starting the last quarter of the year. In the locality where I live last month it was of extreme temperatures, contradictorily something that usually does not happen at this time of the year became something normal, to have a strong sun with an intense heat and then a rain of a few minutes that suffocated more for the evaporation of the warm ground. But there were also days when not a drop of rain fell to pacify the heat, I do not know what was worse.

At this moment and according to so many experiences that have marked me in these last months, in which I have been able to make a complete scan of my life, of my feelings, of my emotions, months in which I have physically lost some loved ones, in which I have thought about my work on Earth, in every sense of the word, because I have shed many tears, in which the idea of ending everything has crossed again and again through my head, because I have come to think that I am not giving a quality life to my son, in which I have even planned with whom I am going to leave him so that he can be happy and have the life he deserves, it is when cowardice overwhelms me and I do not have the courage to do any of that and I see his innocent eyes, it is then that I react and think how selfish my thoughts are.

On Saturday I went out to dinner with my boyfriend, we are hot dog and hamburger tasters, so this weekend we had to try some dogs near where his grandmother lives, he says he always ate there when he was little and he wanted to try them again.

Since I was going to my boyfriend's house and going to eat dogs, of course we are going to wear a super comfortable and casual look, I think that here I very rarely share an outfit of this style.

Greetings to all the members of this beautiful group, it is a pleasure to share with you again a very healthy and delicious recipe, that I prepared yesterday as a starter to accompany lunch, its main ingredient is the yellow pea, which comes in a presentation of split grain, so when cooking it softens easily, I wanted to prepare it with vegetables, soup type with a creamy consistency to give to my children, as they really like vegetable creams.

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.
