Supernatural has proven its greatness once again by being renewed for a 13th season. Anyone who’s watched the show, and has most likely fallen in love with it, knows why it is immortal. The show that involves killing in each episode, yet can’t be killed, survives because of the messages underlying it. Messages of hope, of perseverance, of love, of family, and more broadly speaking, of life, are the fiber of Supernatural. The words of beloved characters like Sam, Dean, and Castiel can change people’s lives. Countless fans post on social media about how the show inspired them to tenaciously push through hardships and to keep fighting no matter what. How incredible is that?
So thank you Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles, Misha Collins, and the rest of the wonderful cast for continuing to bring such powerful, imperfectly perfect characters to life. Characters that make mistakes. Characters that fall, but always get back up. Characters that will live on long past the show’s eventual ending. Until then, we will continue tuning in to the journey of our two favorite brothers and the angel they consider family, learning from impactful quotes, such as the following, along the way.

4. "You're wrong about humanity. They are your greatest creation because they're better than you are. Sure, they're weak, and they cheat and steal and destroy and disappoint, but they also give and create, and they sing and dance and love. Above all, they never give up." (Metatron, 11x20)
