October 23, 2019 (barely)

Dear Jared;
Today was pretty rough. Or, YESTERDAY, I guess. I needed help and when I asked my two best friends for it, I was disappointed. Not to say these two haven’t been there for me before, but it’s pretty rare I ask for anything. Today I really needed it, and though I had promises, they both let me down. But you know who did come through for me? My Supernatural and Twilight friends. So there’s a silver lining, right? I got a reply from Kim Rhodes on a tweet, that was pretty incredible. It’s just no matter how bleak and rough sometimes, when your own family lets you down, the SPN is there to pick you up. I was laying here, thinking about what will happen when the show is over. Will we be as tight? Will we still be there for each other? Will it stay strong? I think so. I was also thinking what it is about Supernatural that ties us all together so tight. It’s you guys. It’s you and Jensen, as Sam and Dean. The Winchester’s fight like hell, against all odds. That’s us. So many of us have battles we’re fighting, mostly unseen, and you know who taught us how to fight? The freaking Winchester’s. I’m probably not saying this very articulately, but I don’t think anyone fights like that. No one fights like we do for our own mental health, and no one has won more battles than we have. That’s Sam and Dean. Fighting until there’s nothing left, and fighting some more. I think you really hit the nail on the head with the Always Keep Fighting campaigns. Thank you for that. For giving us a banner to raise over our heads. For a mantra. Thanks for our family. Just thank you.
