OCD's support is expanding!
Hello everyone! This is the 1800th 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 song I chose for this occasion is “You Have Seduced Me, Lord,” a song I learned many years ago in church and which has held a very special place in my heart ever since. From the first time I heard it, I was deeply moved not only by its lyrics, but also by the sweetness of its melody.This song conveys sincere devotion, that feeling of surrendering to the immense love of God, who calls each of us by name, even with our failures, doubts, and flaws. It reminds us that, despite our smallness, He always seeks us, sustains us, and invites us to walk beside Him.

In this musical journey, I have come across great characters, people from whom I have learned a lot, from the sonic realm to life itself. Today I want to introduce you to one of these people who nourishes you with good energy and teaches you many things about life. She is a young singer from our garden city of Maracay who never ceases to amaze me with her musical and human quality: Marianna Amaro.

Hello colleagues and beautiful Music community! We are very excited to share with you this emotional song, "The Reason," an anthem of apology and redemption that has touched the hearts of many since its release on January 5, 2004, by the American post-grunge band Hoobastank, included in their second studio album, The Reason. The lyrics reflect deep regret and a desire to change for someone important. The repetition of the phrase "the reason is you" emphasizes that the motivation to transform and start over comes from the positive influence this person has had on their life. The song suggests that love can be a redemptive force, capable of inspiring people to improve and correct their mistakes. It remains one of the band's most recognizable ballads and a reminder that love can be a powerful agent of change in our lives. We hope you enjoy our version!

I made this project to reuse a small wooden box to organize my earrings. It is very versatile and can also be used to store hair ties and clips, glasses, small headphones, keys, and other items.

Can’t really remember when exactly I started collecting sugar packets. It must have been sometime around the beginning of high school.. that confusing and magical time when everyone around you is trying to be someone or at least look like someone. While some of my friends were already deep into their napkin collections, swapping floral patterns and delicate prints like treasures, I was that kid who listened to heavy metal and hard rock, dyed a streak of my hair pink using Step juice 😄 and drew band logos all over my notebooks. I still have those drawings tucked away somewhere (perfect for some future blog). They were my first “collection,” I guess. Then, somewhere along the way this sweetness happened. xD Not metaphorically, not musically, I mean literal, tiny packets of sweet white (and brown) sugar. Each one is a memory, a miniature postcard from a place, a person or a moment.

In the afternoons, we usually enjoy a sweet treat while chatting with friends, watching a TV series, or simply to calm down—the sugar crash—🤭 as we say in Venezuela.
And that's when you open the fridge and find that sweet fruit treat that, just by looking at it, you know will be delicious, and when you try it... wow! It makes your taste buds explode.

When Cherry first told us about her plan for a night out, I immediately felt a spark of excitement. It had been a while since we all gathered outside of our usual routines, and the thought of spending time together after such a long stretch of busy days sounded refreshing. Cherry suggested that we go out for samgyupsal, and everyone agreed right away. I liked the idea even more because it had been over a year since I last had samgyup, and I remembered how much I enjoyed it. The thought of grilling meat, sharing food, and laughing across the table brought me back to those fun memories with my friends. We planned everything just the day before, and the anticipation kept me smiling through the hours of my class. Even though I knew I would be late because of school, my friends reassured me that they would go ahead first and wait for me.

Time really flies by so quickly. Imagine, I've had this watch for eight years now. This watch has a lot of sentimental value to me. It was the first expensive thing I bought with my salary from my very first job. In other words, this watch was my gift to myself back then. It was the first time I gave myself a gift from my very own salary.

There's a very special story behind today's beer post! I grew up in East Germany until 1989. When I was 12 years old, the wall between East and West Germany was torn down and everything became one. Of course, there were some things that now had to be harmonized. Some laws, the currency, and of course traffic signs! Sure, many of them actually had the same meaning and appearance, but some did not. For example, the symbols on pedestrian traffic lights. In the East, we had little figures called “Ampelmännchen” (traffic light men) that showed pedestrians what to do when they were red and standing or green and walking.

What we know today as gospel music is a genre that basically combines elements of worship and praise to God with messages of Christian and human reflection, all accompanied by trendy musical styles such as rock, pop, ballads, blues, R&B, among others. This musical style appeals to both young people and adults, as its rhythms and contemporary fusions make it very attractive.
