Jensen ends out the song with a smile and a wave before replacing his microphone and walking away.Stepping off stage he's surrounded by applause; intense and vehement.There are days he genuinely forgets how hard this fandom loves; the show, the family, the entire experience of sharing themselves with long time friends and new intriguing strangers.It's stupidly gratifying.Every actor has their moments of self doubt.Jensen isn't any more immune than those in his profession who've climbed high and are regarded with respect and awe.For all the times he's been asked why he shares so much of himself, his answer never wavers. "We're a family. Families do for each other. Just because ours is spread far and wide, that doesn't mean it's any less supportive or loving."Allowing himself to breathe in the atmosphere emanating from the stage area, Jensen smiles wide, remembering that even if he's not sure about his level of influence or talent, his place in people's lives, this lot will always give him a nudge in the right direction.How many people are lucky enough to know that their family numbers in the millions?
