1. When he thought that his life was literally worthless.
2. And it didn't even occur to him that anyone was there to take care of him.
3. And that he didn't need to blame himself all the time.
4. Or that he doesn't have to keep sacrificing himself.
5. When he was really terrible at taking his own advice.
SELF-CARE, DEAN. LEARN IT, LOVE IT.
6. When he mourned the first major death in his life since his mother's.
7. DEAR JESUS THIS WAS ONLY SEASON *TWO*.
8. THIS, TOO.
9. Every. Fucking. Time. Dean. Needed. A. Hug.
10. Any time his pesky habit of making and losing friends pops up.
11. When he actually admitted he was terrified.
12. When he has so many people who love him but still rarely if ever believes that he is worthy.
13. Every time someone overcame the impossible because of how much they loved him.
He's worth it.
14. And when he actually helped his father realize how much John effed up his sons.
15. When he went from angry to grateful in an instant.
16. When he told Sammy about what it was like in Hell.
I'M RIGHT THERE WITH YA, DEAN.
