The first time I saw Supernatural, it was at my sister's insistence. I watched one episode and said I did not like it just to spite her. But about a week later, I had to go to summer camp for a month, and I was scared. I stayed up the whole night before watching Supernatural because it made me feel safe. The whole time I was gone, when I missed home I thought of the new story I was getting into. Little did I know the new life I was getting into.
That was 2013. Now I have been to three conventions, I have made so many new friends that I never would have before, and I have had the fortune to have met some of the amazing cast. They inspire me everyday.
Whenever I feel like my dreams of one day being an actress are slipping away, I look to their example and realize that they went after their dream. That Jared and Jensen were brave enough to try.
Whenever I feel shy, to the point where I can't even get the courage to order a drink, I think of them, and how Jared and Jensen aren't afraid.
And most importantly, whenever I am feeling depressed, like nobody cares and nothing matters anymore, I know to always keep fighting.
I wouldn't be alive today if it wasn't for this show, these people, and this campaign.
I know I am not alone, I know that there are people out there who know what I am going through because they have too, and who care about me. I know I am not alone.
I have support in this family, and so do so many other people.
When life gets to much we can come here, to our home away from home, and we can belong and be loved.
I owe my life and so much more to this show, to this campaign and to all of the amazing people who have poured their hearts and souls into it.
I am home when I am here. And to Jared, Jensen, and everybody who has given me a new life and a new outlook, I can never thank you enough for that.
Always keep fighting.
