[thepersonalquotes]

We invent what we need to get us by, but in doing so we are really continuing to hold on to the pain of yesterday.

Stephen Richards, The Pain You Feel Today Is The Strength You Feel Tomorrow

[thepersonalwords]

Sometimes we are very convinced that what we went through needs to be re-lived so we end up going back and forth to the demons of the past and eventually we fail to get over them.

[quotelr]

The purpose of forgiveness is not to make sure that someone ends up changing into what you expect them to be, as this is dominance. The purpose is actually to make your own life better, more worthy and less stressful. Forgiveness reduces the hold that the wrongdoer has over you and empowers you.

Oh yes, the past can hurt. But you can either run from it, or learn from it.

thinking about winchesters and last names

about sam retiring from actively hunting. he and eileen do the same kind of thing bobby did, giving advice and etc, but they're mostly retired. they have a little life of their own. and when they get married, sam takes eileen's last name. it's not about shame or spite or cuz he just doesn't like his last name. it's because sam winchester was a hunter and a bit of a legend. he was a man who never got to be much of a boy, a child burdened with a family name and family curse he's not old enough to remember. but he's retired now and marrying the woman he loves. and maybe it's time sam winchester was put to rest. he's lived a lifetime as sam winchester. maybe he wants to spend the rest of his life living relatively peacefully, as sam leahy.

about dean retiring from hunting and running his own place that's a lot like harvelle's roadhouse. its a casual place tho, open to normal people and hunters. its a rest spot for hunters who need it. a waypoint for wanderers needing direction. he's sober now, as hard as it sometimes is and as ironic as it feels considering his place has a bar that he often mans. and when he and cas get married (not that they actually needed to, but maybe they wanted something to celebrate and look back on as a real marker of how far they've come), cas chooses to take dean's last name. cas never had a last name of his own. sure, there were cases where he used "novak," but it wasn't ever his. and maybe cas just wants to take deans last name. and dean himself... he doesn't want to be rid of it. dean has spent too many years fighting to figure out and maintain who he is to want to let go of his last name. dean winchester is a legend who's lived several lifetimes in one, but maybe, now that the world is safe, he wants to be dean winchester... the retired legend.

maybe there's nothing wrong with either winchester brother's choice in name. maybe it's their own ways of being at peace with who they are and the lives they've lived

i think my favorite thing about the old guard was how much and how obviously they all LOVED each other. like. the baclava scene. those first hugs between andy, nick and joe. andy cradling booker's face while she begged him to wake up, and the tender forehead-touch when he did. how they all (barring andy, who i assume was taking a guard dog-like position) slept so closely together in the church. how quick they were to all surround andy when they found out about her mortality. how KIND andy was, even when coming out to tell booker what his punishment would be. how they waited and looked to each other in relief every time they died—and how the first thing they thought of when they felt nile's presence was that they had to help her, because they all knew how scared and alone she would be feeling right then. hell, even booker's motivation for his betrayal wasn't the typical scheming double-crosser's motivation; he just wanted to help, to try and give the rest of the guard (mainly he and andy) a means of control—a way to REST. to decide when to stop on their own terms. they weren't just a team of badass immortal soldiers dedicated to protecting the earth; they were friends, with relationships centuries in the making, and it showed. they were a family.

The idea of always wanting to be the victim in circumstances where you have been offended is a common human trait. Each person wants to be viewed as the aggrieved party.

Learn to let go or everything you have ever done will be in vain. You will let go of everything right now." He told me, staring into my blue eyes with his big golden orbs. "You are going to let go of everything in this world and let yourself become nothing. Do you understand?
