This is a letter to every single member of our amazing community. Lurk, chat, host, raid, share, or support, all of you are a part of it and make it all possible. Little message to streamers at the bottom~
Wow. What an unreal stream. WE ARE OVER 800 SUB POINTS?!?! HELLO? As soon as I wrapped up I had to run to be on time for that MRI, which was pretty relaxing. When I got home I collapsed for about 7 hours, and since I woke up I've been sitting here not knowing what to say.
People kept asking how I was able to have so much energy so many hours into the marathon. I don't drink coffee, don't take secret naps during breaks. The only answer I have is that the community keeps me awake and filled with energy. You guys are a family one can only dream of. The warmth and support for everything I do on stream, and for each other, is always surprising, heartwarming, and overwhelming.
(How many positive words can I fit into one letter?)
The day I was accepted for partnership, I knew that I wouldn't be looking for a university or a new job to apply to. Streaming was the biggest dream I had, and I have been able to comfortably live out that dream over the last two years.
Countless people have come to me with a thank you for cheering them up, motivating them, changing their life, helping them focus on positivity or health or other good things. I am so grateful to be able to inspire that in so many of you. I don't know if all of you realize just how much you do the exact same thing for me. Yes, I have taken days off in the past because I wasn't in a mood worth sharing with you guys, but there is not a single day that hasn't been made better by stream. You teach me, inspire me, and make me smile. YOU make the stream what it is, and for you, I am eternally grateful.
I've said it before and I said it again, y'all better live long enough to see it happen because THIS STREAMING GRANDMA IS GOING TO BE ON FIRE.

As most of you know, I'll be away for 10 days! I'm leaving on Saturday the 24th, and my first stream back will be the 4th of July. That is when we will be pulling the two winners for this keyboard giveaway:

When I come back, I will be streaming EVERY DAY for four weeks. Every day will be filled with the chillest summer vibes, so don't miss me too much for these ten days! After the four weeks, we'll be returning to 6 days a week~
I'll be slightly active on Twitter and Instagram.com/naomiwastaken during my vacation!

TO STREAMERS! I hope that all of you feel welcomed as viewers, members of the community, and friends. Sometimes I can't help myself, I fangirl over you. It really excites and invigorates me when you hang out with us. When you spend time with us, not just as the stars that you dagnab are, but as kind, funny, witty, lovable, human people.
I've never gotten into the habit of regular shoutouts and thank-you's on Twitter, but what I say about you on stream is always genuine. I think you make Twitch a better place, and I want to give my viewers more options for amazing people to watch and chill with. I prompt you to talk about your stream because I want people to decide if they want to join in on your shenanigans, not because I want to network. Everyone runs their streams and social media differently, and I am not looking for shoutouts. If you think your community would enjoy me, by all means! But you already do more than you know, because it delights me that you like to chill in my stream, and that happiness impacts hype and energy levels more than any shoutout ever could.
Thank you for sharing your time with us and constantly reminding everyone that we are not competitors, we are a community, and positivity can only spead and grow! <3

As always, sending all of you a million hugs and a billion butts!
Much love,
Namoi
