We have a gift for you, Nate.

From, YWS. A little late, but just barely. Huge thanks to @Ignorance, @Rydia, @AlfredSymon, @VeerenVKS, and @ShadowVyper for sending out video clips! And then, of course, an even bigger thanks to @thewritersdream who made a wonderful poem that I unfortunately could not fit entirely into the video, so please take a look at it below. A big apology to @Lava and everyone else who made a clip but was not able to send it on time. Sorry! Another thanks to Ignorance who sang at the beginning with me (um...let's just say that I'm slightly tone deaf when it comes to singing, lol). Shout out to VeerenVKS because he...kinda...yeah, you saw it. Once again, huge thanks to everyone who participated and supported this project! Happy 30th birthday, @Nate! Hope you had a good one. YWS Poem by thewritersdream: You can always find a good way to spend your time. In time of great despair and time of great thoughtfulness, you can always find a way to spend your time here. The pages will excite you, you’d do a review or two. You’d hum as you go along, look at lyrics for a good new song. As it’s own little world, as it’s own little town, YWS is safe and sound. It brightens a day and makes one laugh, and shout, HEY! I just got a review! I’m so thankful for you. In a special sort of way, you can always find a way to spend your time. Not a waste, not in haste, but time sublime, you can dream about the stars, that the ship would land in mars! You can hope for better days as you write and read stories and plays. You can always find a good way to spend your time. Welcomed, you are welcomed. In this little town, there’s a tavern that is open, everyone is welcomed, no one is chosen. It’s bright and comfy, you never want to leave. The people are friendly and you always feel recieved. You smile here and there as you say “Hi, how’s it going?” and you read each other’s work and go “Wow, this is amazing!”. The parties never end as there is lots to do, anyone can come, for even the monkey’s do too. There’s lots of places to go and to see, the green room, the storybooks, and clubs filled with glee, everyone is enjoying them, and feeling free. For no matter where you come from around the real world, from America to India we all party here, it’s our little world, no matter from where. From the depths of the sea to the highest mountain, our imaginations keep us, and bring us around, we go together and travel this world, let’s hope it will never end, but will only grow. Super fun, super stars and a super admin. Some days when the sun shines a little brighter you go to the places that make you feel brighter, that encourage you, or at least where you can write at. And this place of brightness and happiness, for me and many alike, is the very place I’ve been writing of. It’s a place where we all voice our opinions, and our differences are shared and accepted. No one is shunned or rejected. There is a stronger bond than other such sites, and a dream, to touch, and help and change that ignites and creates a fire to toast marshmallows around, while we all sing funny songs and dance in shoes of poetry, and stomp boots on the written ground. This is a place where we’re awarded stars for bringing out the stars in art. We are allowed to paint, a picture with words that can relate to help a mate. It’s a beautiful world with a mission in hand to enhance and bring forth a time we won’t forget, we can grow in words and grow in sight, for how can we see everything? So why not see from another view? The site is flowing with members, each one important. And each day more will come to add to the golden chain, we’re a family here and that’s the way it will stay, bonded together through an amazing thing: writing. --- Dedicated to Nate, Happy Birthday! The site has truly been a bright light in my life and so many others! And I must say the day I knew you were the best possible admin in the world was when I saw the comment you made where you said that the YWS was selling clothes and used the most beautiful metaphors describing how words really do clothe, it was pretty amazing! It told of your passion. Have a great birthday!

This is absolutely lovely, @Carina! ^^ Lots of crazy things came up; and I wasn't home that day to send it across.

@Nate, hope you had a great birthday!

Love you, YWS!

XD
This was so funny, and mushy and awesome and sweet.

I also agree with @Ignorance on everything. @VeerenVKS, @AlfredSymon I was laughing the whole time XD you guys were so creative and funny! @VeerenVKS was your bathtub really on fire?! :O And @Rydia, what was that you had with YWS on it? It looks so cool! And you are really pretty, I like your hair

@ShadowVyper you were so sweet, and pretty and cool! Thanks @Carina for including my poem! You did a marvelous job putting it together!! And your message was really heartwarming, I loved when you paused and such. It was great!

And...Happy Birthday @Nate!! I realize it's already pretty late

but, still. You really are appreciated for all you do, and loved!

Also you can steal as much as you want, I'd be honored!

I believe in that, which is not seen.
I call it truth, faith, hope, life.

@thewritersdream It's a patchwork quilt which I am making for Nate, just as soon as I find the time to start up again. I'm going to be enlisting members of YWS to make patches as well and then sew it all together!

If "your members marry a banana symbolizing you and set their bathtubs on fire" isn't number one on a Top Ten list of "signs you are the best admin ever", I don't know what is.

Of course, a lot of other awesome things you do should be on there as well, like how you're constantly working to update and improve the site. But that has to take the (birthday) cake.

Guys, this is a great work. And more than this it's amazing how much we love Nate.

@Carina, wonderful job! I wish I could have helped with this! But anyways, hopefully next year. <3

I cried! Really good work you guys, I wish I could have been a part of this but oh well. It was amazing you did an amazing job. I really hope Nate has a great birthday, he is such an awesome guy and there aren't enough words to describe what an amazing community you built on this

We love you! Happy birthday man!

The only true failure, is when you give up. ♥
