The Creation Disclaimer

So it's on all our minds that some people have over shared to the guys in photo ops,autographs and even panel time. I do not discount these stories but I feel some restraint should be used. The boys aren't there to be therapists and yes Jared seems to get the brunt of it. He's much more openly emotional than Jensen.
  On the other hand, Creation used the word burdening the stars and this is a little harsh. They don't feel that way. It's just too much is too much. I feel that I pay a lot of hard earned cash for my moments with the stars. I feel it's ok and also should be allowed for a paying customer to say thanks and love in the few moments he or she paid for. You can be positive. You can do it succinctly and in the time you are allowed. I hope Creation does not intend to go to a step up smile you're gone routine because a few overstepped the boundaries. It's what makes a con special and let's face it we all wait for our 45 seconds of heaven! And pay dearly for it. The reason we all love Creation cons is that we DO have this chance to actually be near the boys.
  Yes Jared left himself open and he does care about these things. Jensen does too. To post simply to a FB page however just means you still have a one in five million chance they will ever see it. So what can we do? Maybe fans could start a posting place to help and encourage one another? Maybe something like watch parties but SPN fan support groups? My mind is wondering and considering. I invite a conversation on this because I am happy to be a builder for something like this . We all wish for some personal time with Jensen and Jared. But in reality we MOST of us get our paid for time. So some family support at another place would be nice.
 Lately  I have been struggling with the whole idea of be grateful and not taking things for granted. My last little stretch of existence hasn't been easy. I'm not suicidal or any of the big bad dark things but circumstances have made me appreciate the #AKF because life's struggles are not limited to self harm and mental illness and I know from very close family members that is hard. But sometimes LIFE is just hard. And I personally think the guys would hug me and encourage me just as much for those struggles.
 Creation is right to keep personal stories out of the panels and to ask fans to keep things quick and not traumatic in ops. As much as they want to and our boys DO want to be there for everyone they can't. I know for me a personal conversation with Jensen would make my whole life but in reality if I get three sentences it's enough. Please Creation don't take away our chance to say thanks and love.
