Alright, for all my talk of having moved on mentally, I have to admit that seeing all the last-day things - the set tear downs, the goodbye messages - has got me feeling pretty emotional.
It's been a hell of a run.
Writing for the Supernatural fandom got me back into writing, and since 2008, I've written 1 contemporary novel that I scrapped, and 1 epic fantasy novel that I'm currently doing edits on and want to eventually finish up to be something I'm willing to show to people. And really, I'm not sure whether another show or fandom would have really sparked that "I need to contribute to this" energy that I got with Supernatural... maybe... but more than likely not. I've also met a TON of great friends through the show - one of which gave me my previous job, which eventually led to me gaining the experience to apply to the job that I have now, which is going REALLY WELL (knock on wood) and might actually lead to me earning a living wage for once in my life.
Basically, I'm trying to say that as much I already filled my days with other things, Supernatural has shaped a large part of my life... even to the point where when my sister invited me to move to Vancouver, one of my thoughts was "well, it'd be cool to live where Supernatural films - maybe I should do it."
I'll definitely miss sharing a city with the boys and looking for a black Impala whenever I pass by a filming site.
The goal is to get back to rewatches this weekend. Thanks to all those who left kind comments on my last post!
