"Supernatural" has been on for 13 years. It has taught a lot of people a lot of things. Here are 13 things I've learned from it.
1. Family is what you make it
"Just because you're blood doesn't make you family." Dean, Sam, Bobby, Cas. They've all had great quotes about family. They have shown me that sharing blood means nothing. The people that care most about you are your family.
2. Face your fears. It might be funny
Sorry but Yellow Fever will forever be my favorite episode because of this. However, on the show, the boys are constantly facing their fears, whether it's clowns, airplanes, kittens, or each other dying. They've threatened God and killed Death. They literally shouldn't be afraid of anything.
3. The driver picks the music
Shotgun shuts his cakehole. Don't touch my music on a roadtrip. Just don't.
4. There is always time for pie
Dean Winchester is the only person that could convince me to try pie. It hasn't happened but he could do it.
5. Carry on
Okay. Maybe this one was Kansas but how many of you would know about Kansas if it weren't for Supernatural? I've learned that there will, mot likely, be peace when you're done with a hard situation. If there isn't peace, Carry On.
6. There's nothing like the classics
Classic cars. Classic music. There is nothing like a classic. Look at that car!
7. Death is inevitable
Death is coming for everyone. It's okay. Pick up the pieces and fight for what is right.
8. Your parents sacrifice so much for you
Your parents may not literally give up their lives for you but they kinda do. They put their plans on hold to protect you, They will put their lives on the line for you. Your parents sacrifice more than you will ever know.
9. Vampires are (sort of) real
Yeah. That's right. Sterling K Brown was on Supernatural
Maybe there is no such thing as literal vampires BUT there are people that will suck the life out of you. They want your money, your life, your time. They suck you dry and leave you alone. So, there are definitely vampires.
10. Crossroads............... Avoid them
Bad things happen at crossroads on this show and in real life. Crossroads are where the boys have made stupid deals. Crossroads are where a lot of accidents happen in real life. Go the long way if you have to and avoid crossroads.
11. There is something after the end
Hi! Welcome to Supernatural where we narrowly avoid the Apocalypse once a year, possibly twice if Lucifer is free. But seriously. If you think it's the end of the world for whatever reason, there is always something better coming after your version of The Apocalypse.
12. Everyone has a story
Don't judge a book by it's cover. The book might reveal and amazing angel but the cover is warn and tattered. You'll never know if you don't pick it up.
13. Family is forever

This quote means a lot more when you realize that every single hunter calls every other hunter their family on the show. I end where I began because family is so important to the show and it is important in real life. When everyone leaves you, your family remains.
