I just really appreciate Sam Winchester’s character.

From the moment he was born, Sam was destined to fall and destroy the world. Even before then, other forces were already starting to pull the strings towards his destiny. Even then, Sam always fought tooth and nail for a better life that wasn’t chosen for him by someone else. First, it was his father and him having his sons be hunters too to avenge a mother he never knew but always felt the influence of. Then, it was Ruby, Lucifer, the angels, and every other creature that sought to make him eventually say yes to Lucifer.

Although he eventually did follow their plans for him, it was on his own terms and because he knew it was necessary in order for him to have even the slightest chance of saving people’s lives.
And that’s the thing: Sam will always try to save another before himself. To not help others has never once crossed his mind, at least when he was still innately him. He’s been pulling people out of burning buildings since he was 12, and even when he was deteriorating and dying, unable to concentrate with Lucifer hanging over his shoulder, he still overlooked his own problems to help another, saying, “Other people have it worse.”

During his demon blood addiction, it originally started out as a way to save people. Sam had been smothered his whole life by his father, but mostly by his brother. Dean was his protector, whether he admitted it or not, so when he was gone, he didn’t know how to act anymore. He didn’t know how to be a hunter without his older brother having his back, so he turned to the one person who could stay by his side that he even slightly trusted: Ruby. He even originally turned away her offer because he didn’t want to drink her blood, but eventually did because he saw it as necessary. And then by the time he was able to see Ruby for her manipulations, he was so neck-deep in his addiction that he couldn’t stop without going through the pain of withdrawal.

With all the mistakes he made, Sam always sought to fix them, even when others thought it impossible. He was always the Boy Who Had Faith, whether it was God, angels, or more importantly, Dean, all of whom either never had or lost their faith in him. He always tries to see the good in others, even if it isn’t there, because otherwise life wouldn’t be worth living.

Sam always tries, no matter what. He is a hero. More importantly, he is my hero. I live a Sam appreciation life and I’m proud
