<h1>OCD DAILY - Issue #46</h1></center>
<br>
<center>Welcome to the 46th issue of  **@OCD Daily!**</center>

Issue #46 highlights content from eight (8) flourishing Steemit Content Creators! The OCD team on its journey continues to search tirelessly throughout Steemit for undervalued gems as provided by relatively new users.

Today our (20) curators, under our steadfast leader, @acidyo, have delivered eight wonderful pieces of original content to share with you! These works as provided by newer steemit users don’t have the audience in which their content deserves. @OCD strives to provide that audience and to showcase Steemit users that put in the effort to create quality 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.**
<br>

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.

Today’s top nomination as curated by @mk40: @randystiefer may just be one of the most underappreciated fiction writers here. Some of us can probably relate to this story on a lady who graduated and went back to her small hometown; and in the process leaving someone she loves. It was a heartwarming read and a great way of expressing that you can't choose who you love. Click [HERE](https://steemit.com/writing/@randystiefer/fiction-short-story-you-can-t-choose-who-you-love) to read more on this amazing story and enjoy the fluidity of his story.

Our Second Piece as curated by @jznsamuel: @foodie.warrior once again proves to us that she's an amazing travel blogger. She shares with us her adventure at Phantasialand. For those of us who loves Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, do know that Hobbiton exists outside of New Zealand!

Our Third Piece as curated by @gmuxx: @horrorguyian displays his amazing storytelling capabilities in this piece, which was actually written in response to a song prompt. Written in a sci-fi setting, the ending of this short story was pretty mindblowing and is definitely underappreciated. Click [HERE](https://steemit.com/fiction/@horrorguyian/the-tower-where-the-neon-ends) to check out this awesome story where the ending may be something unexpected.

Our Fourth Piece as curated by @howtostartablog: @anri-avgustino shares with us a story of his grandfather who was a blacksmith and a man who contributed a lot to others. He was born in 1914, the year World War I started, which was a difficult time for him. Regardless, he worked hard to take care of his family and help others.

Our Seventh Piece as curated by @dorman: @oendertuerk shares with us an interesting piece on bio-hacking, that malicious software can actually be encoded in DNA strands. Fortunately for us, such bio-hacking is still unrealistic currently due to the amount of effort that is needed. Click [HERE](https://steemit.com/steemiteducation/@oendertuerk/bio-hacking-computer-virus-from-dna-attacks-and-hacks-software) to learn and understand more on this bio-hacking.
