About the Website

Infinite Dreams began as a LiveJournal blog some time in 2006. I was a sophomore in college, taking classes for a Chemistry major, and the blog was mostly a place where I could rant about how ridiculous school and life was, along with the occasional anime, manga and video game posts. (I admit, I wasn't quite in a good place mentally at the time, and looking at the posts I archived, you could almost see my emotional decline...)

As I left college and got my first job, the LiveJournal blog went away, to be replaced by Evernote. I spent the next 10 years ranting about how ridiculous that workplace was, and I ended up in an even worse place mentally (this is where most of the "Therapy" posts came from in the Blog Archive) I eventually left that job and went into therapy right when Covid-19 hit.

I'm in a much better place now mentally, as well as in a job with much better work/life balance. So I've been able to free my mind up to focus on the many random hobbies I enjoy during my free time! This current website will be more about exploring and documenting the fun stuff I do, and much less about ranting about life.

A quick note about the website's layout - I've made it as close as possible to the original layout I used for the LiveJournal blog, with some visual improvements. I'm SO glad I'm able to recreate this look without dealing with any ads! That was the most annoying thing about LiveJournal's Plus account tier - I needed the additional features, but I had to deal with advertising all over the site since I couldn't afford the Paid account tier. And Evernote was boring but okay until they changed their subscription model and made free accounts useless. So now I'm away from all that and this website is a nice fresh way to organize the messy thoughts in my head!
