<h1>OCD DAILY - Issue #85</h1></center>
<br>
<center>Welcome to the 85th issue of  **@OCD Daily!**</center>

Issue #85 highlights content from ten (10) fantastic 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 curators, under our steadfast leader, @acidyo, have delivered ten incredible pieces of original content to share with you! These works as provided by newer Steemit users don’t have the audience which their quality content deserves. @OCD strives to provide that audience and intends to showcase Steemit users who put in tremendous effort to create flourishing 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>
<br>

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 @m31: @reddragonfly talks about the pressures of creativity and inspiration.

Our third piece as curated by @saywha: @biasnarrative explodes into the Steemit community with a very thorough and intriguing introduction post, going into his roots as both a nerd and a metalhead, but is careful not to forget Amara, his lovely shih-tzu!

Our Fourth Piece as curated by @elteamgordo: @dejan.vuckovic shows us around the small city of Maribor, Slovenia. A little downtrodden at a lost opportunity, elteamgordo goes for a night walk and takes some beautiful shots of the area with descriptive blogging to boot. Upon returning, a pleasant surprise was waiting. Check out the great shots below!

Our fifth piece, curated by @howtostartablog is a psychological and philosophical piece by @earthcustodians, who delves deeply into fear; what it is, how it can hold us back and what we need to let go of to allow us to push forward as a society - and more generally to find happiness. If you want to rid yourself of fear, read all about it below!

Our sixth piece, curated by @ma1neevent is a photoshoot among the flowers with @itzelvargasbelieves. Using herself and her mother's garden as a canvas, you really get to appreciate the vibrancy of nature in what was a lovely day chilling outside. Feel free to visit the garden below!

Our seventh piece as curated by @jznsamuel: @rachelsmantra has successfully gone through the long, arduous journey of MTF gender reassignment, curing the mental dysphoria she lived with as a male. The post continues in depth about the philosophy of identity, or perhaps lack thereof, and really emphasises how hormone replacement therapy, as well as social transitions can make a world of difference to oneself. To find out more about this enlightening journey of the self, read below!

Our eighth piece as curated by @mk40: @bronkong gives us a step-by-step process of an awesome piece of art, but it leads to so much more. The drawing was created for a fellow Steemit user's creative writing project. To discover more of this artistic world, check it out below.

Our ninth piece as curated by @thethirdeye: @jawilder wants you to embrace his philosophy of the 100%.  With the dedication you may apply to a fight or a race, success can be yours with ease. This, he says, is the way of the world! If you want something, you gotta commit. To leave a trail of flames behind you on your road to success, get some inspiration below!

Our tenth and final piece as curated by @guyfawkes4-20: @steemit-foodie *really* likes coffee. I love it when people have such a simple, innocent love for something like this, enough to take really high quality photos and post it for us all to enjoy. The overall message here is that coffee isn't just practical for its caffeine content, but it smalls and tastes great too! To wake up and smell the Steem, read the joyous post below!
