Dean Winchester would shoot the guy who said this with a grenade launcher, and honestly, I'd help him.

Dean loves his brother. He never got to be a child because he was always a father to Sammy. And yet the light in him never fades. The world of Supernatural is riddled with monsters and darkness. It's a world in which there are no good guys; it's just everyone doing their best. It would be so easy to just 'let go'. But Dean doesn't. As long as the Winchester brothers are together, they can do anything. They always find a way. I like that.

There's just so much wrong with the world. The hate and chaos have created this dichotomy of us vs them, and I hate it. In a world that's heavily transactional, humans have this extraordinary ability to love and form bonds that are greater than the sum of their parts. We forget about this too often.

Supernatural reminds me of what it means to be alive: to feel what God can't feel.

The smell of the rain, the cupping of arms around the neck when humans hug, the unconditional love that we are capable of giving.

Maybe the great curse of modern life is that we assume family will always be there. Until they aren't. Maybe that's why my best friend is family too. Not because she has to, but because she chooses to. And maybe that's why Bobby Singer said, "Family don't end with blood, boy." I love that.

This show has given me so much. It has taught me that humanity is just people trying to do their best in a world where it is far too easy to do their worst. We are not without our flaws, but as Chuck says, "It's the blemishes that make her beautiful".

Most of us will never move more dirt than the amount it takes to bury us, but we can still choose to try saving the world.

So, to the guy who said love is choosing to let go, I say no. Sometimes love is refusing to let go. It's the brother you raise, the family you choose, the hand that stays on your shoulder when the world goes dark. It's trying to save what you can, even when you know your insignificance. Because maybe staying, flawed and stubborn and human, is the closest we ever get to saving the world.

Okay, that's it. As Dean would say, "No chick-flick moments."
