This video wasn't planned at all. I had the original thought of posting another one today before I realized it's Nate's birthday and I could do something with him. But the one video I have started with him was far from a finish point to be done in a day and the other one I have the idea for wasn't started at all, so originally I thought of doing a short vidlet with Gabe & Lea, which turned out pretty abstract and lacking a stable backstory (even though I feel like there is a bit of a story anyway).

I tried my best to finish and upload this video in one day, but it's probably going to be up with a delay, meaning it won't be posted on his birthday but I'm pretty sure it's passed where he is as well, so...

But this video is more of a big THANK YOU because just recently did I thought of him again. I must admit I've forgotten about him after The Originals ended despite him being my fav out of all alongside Claire's character. But because of being into the roleplay community and especially thanks to my other half (my best friend, who also is the reason we have our beautiful Lea), I was once again interested in checking where he's at and honestly the last couple of months of keeping up with his activity on social media, etc. I feel I've changed so much. And I mean that in a good way. I have always felt without a purpose. I had plans, I had dreams but I would start something and give up midway, mainly because my focus was not in the right place, I guess. But seeing Nate standing up for what he feels, believes and does made me think of what I stand for and believe in.

And I know there is currently a dispute around him at the moment over social media and I hope there won't be any negativity spread over this video. Plus, I know he probably won't see this video, but I'm honestly not seeking attention. It's quite visible by the videos I make (being mainly what inspires me and what I think others might like). But I do hope that whoever sees this video and decides to read this long describtion or even go to his Instagram page afterwards may give a thought. Because I'm honestly grateful for him standing his ground and sticking up for global issues because it's truly us who can change the world for the better and the first step is always awareness of our true surroundings.

In the end, I hope he's had a wonderful day, a fantastic birthday and my best wishes go to both him and his family!
