New Community – Introduction and a Bit More Clarity About Its Purpose

So yes, this is the (not too long) introductory post for the new Invisible Horizons Community.

I wanted to create a space that felt somehow “new” on Hive, and with so many communities already out there, starting a new one always struck me as a real challenge. Still, it had been on my mind for a while. I’ve been on this blockchain for a few years now, and this feels like a way to show I care — and that I’m also drawn to the idea of opening new creative spaces.

So the idea began to take shape in my mind:

A place for all those who travel with their imagination.

Let me share a little anecdote.

When I was in high school, there was someone on the school’s leadership team who used to call me “the Swede.” It was her way of saying I was always spaced out, lost in my own world. She’d see me in the hallways, sitting alone, book in hand. She always found a way to catch me out of class, off wandering instead of in the classroom… “What a character,” she’d say, laughing as she sent me back to class. And me? Well, I was just going to the bathroom and ended up loitering nearby, drifting in my thoughts, dreaming that I was, say, in the Roman Amphitheatre… when in reality I was standing in front of the amphitheatre at the Federico Engels Vocational School. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a camera back then — but a quick Google search will show you. ;)

Ok, to keep the story short 😁... this Community is exactly about that: creating imaginary journeys through real places (and I emphasize this) that we tend to visit. That’s why in the Community guidelines I specify using your own photos.

_{Yes, I know — I created the Community cover using AI when I could’ve taken a photo myself… and you’re right, I will. The thing is, my intuition told me today was the day to present the Community, and I still haven’t captured the photo I truly want for this place that will now also be my home.} 😉

Even if you’re standing on the corner of your street, you can imagine yourself strolling through a city in France or whatever and craft your own story. Play, have fun, invent characters and situations. Give objects new uses beyond what they’re meant for. Make up names… let yourself overflow.

You can even invent an entirely new place that exists only in your imagination — and map it out through words, reflections, letters, poetry, music, adventures, photos, whatever you like. There are no limits to creativity.

As for me, I’ll try to occasionally bring initiatives that might spark new ideas to get you started. Though I know that here on Hive, imagination and creativity are boundless… so I raise a toast to you, and to this new space for dreaming.

🥂

Important! Before You Begin…

Have fun, interact with others, and make this little corner a magical place that everyone will want to visit.
