# <center>OCD DAILY - Issue #175</center>

<center>**Welcome to the 175th issue of @OCD Daily!**</center>

Issue #175 highlights content from ten (10) Steemit Content Creators! The OCD team continues it's search throughout Steemit to find you the undervalued gems, as provided by relatively new users.

Today our curators, under our leader, @acidyo, have found you ten new pieces of original content! We strive to find works that are provided by newer Steemit users, that may not have the audience which their quality content deserves. @OCD strives to help provide that audience, and intends to showcase Steemit users who put in the extra effort to create creative, original content.

<center>**The nomination process**</center>

*A curator will **FIND** a piece of work (typically from newer users), within 24 hours that piece has been submitted from the curator to the @ocd team, votes tallied and the pieces with the most votes are placed into the compilation.*

We encourage you to visit these blogs and to show these great Steemians your support and encouragement.

<center>If you enjoyed their work give them a Follow or maybe even say Hello!</center>

All of the content as chosen by our curators is undervalued, but there is always one piece that rises to the top. That piece is seen as universally appreciated and valued making it OCD’s Top Nomination of the Day.

<center> We often look for inspiration in external world, but what if it seemed cold, dark and uninspiring? There are tiny worlds hidden to our eyes. In this post photographer turns to microscope to find what beautiful worlds are hidden to our sight.

#### <center>Our next nomination is from @old-joe-hill </center>
<center> In this article author invites us to sit down with piece of paper and to think about things that truly make us unhappy. Can we fix them? If not, why are we torturing ourselves about things we cannot change? We don’t realize that there is never gonna be a magical solution to all our problems. We are the ones who need to figure it out. Just a little bit of thinking could change great many things.

<center>Elle shares with us her journey of becoming a vegan. From closet full of designer clothes to minimalist lifestyle in tiny RV space. She discusses how being minimalist does not always mean you can’t keep few rare items and how her values and views about having leather changed over time.

<center>Expression is not always easy to capture in organic, natural and not forced way, but it does not appear to be issue for this young artist. She draws inspiration from her own sister as she claims in the moment of her turning hysterical.
