You are the story. You are the song. You are the masterpiece, fearfully and wonderfully made. Explore yourself, and others. Love the journey. This is the Art. See mistakes as unintended explorations. Live. En-Joy!
Beautiful stream of consciousness. Be patient. Self-discovery is a never-ending process. For as long as I have known you on YT, I have loved your brilliant, colourful, compassionate, creative mind. Those are but a few of your core qualities.
Dear Cory, from one who has a few years on you, heart-on-the-sleeve is not a character flaw. It is the compassionate heart of a man who loves well, and who wants to be loved in return. And that is beautiful and normal. AND I am so proud of you for taking the time off to spend time away to listen to your own heart for a few days. Find the next step for the next day. And then the next. Dear friend, it is time to RISE UP into this new day. I will be praying for you this week.
Cory. I wish there was a better way than just typing this here to say this. This registered to me so much. Its hard to explain but, when you were talking to yourself at around the 6 min mark. Aaah I can't put it into words. Thank you, Enjoy this Trip your going on. Can't wait to see where it takes you. You have no obligation to stay with TH-cam, however. You wil always be welcomed back. All of our journeys dip in and down, up and around 😂 You happy now and thats all that matters!
you've done so much more and stayed focused longer in spite of your ADHD, than most of us have without it. I was such a creative in high School through my early 30s yet I went nowhere with it. the desire is still there but the ideas don't come to me like they used to.
To keep my ideas flowing, I just allow myself to get REALLY excited about creating and I obsess over the thought of how good it'll make me feel when the story is finally told. Maybe doing that could help you too.
Corey, because you are who you are, you and what you do are of interest to me and many others. Thank you for sharing yourself and your family. It makes a difference. YOU make a difference.
Cory, Ive been watching your channels for a long time. Yes, The Mean Kitty Song brought me here a loooong time ago... but over the years youve created so many different kinds of amazing things. Funny skits, everyday vlogs sharing yourself and then also your family, thought provoking powerful things (such as Ash of the Phoenix), things like this one where you just talk (to you but also to us). Back when youtube allowed video responses I remember this game you must have put SO much time into making and filming where we had to find Sparta in your house (using those reply videos as options). Even when it came to the end for both Loki and Sparta, as awful a topic as it is, it was also so deeply real and you shared your heart with us. The two of them had such an impact on many of us, of course because of your love for them which in a way allowed us to love them too, but also your creativity in all of their skits ......... Im probably still missing ways! Theres not many channels that Ill go back to rewatch videos Ive seen on purpose, but yours make that list I do hope this trip clears your head and jumpstarts your creativity the way you need. Looking forward to what is next! 💖
I have been on a similar journey this past 6 months and I think I have really realised what is important in my life and what I want to persue in the future. It is a never ending process. Making this I think is a great idea. I really think more people need to have a conversation with themselves like this once in a while, maybe even just to do a self check in on how things are going with themselves. I wish you all the best with your self discovery and I hope it turns out well for you.
Dear Cory, Let me start by thanking you for sharing this, cuz you didn't have to, but I'm really grateful cuz some of what you said really resonated with me and is remarkably coming around at the perfect time for me to hear it. Specifically, I'm referring to the bit at the end where you said "I hope you write. I hope you truly enjoy this experience you're about to have, and I hope you don't let people get to you." To not let the negativity of the world rent space in you're head. I've been trying to get myself back into writing recently, and funny enough you've inspired me for the umpteenth time since I started watching back in 2007. I don't know if you remember me, but my life has changed so much since I sent my last letter and a couple of gifts for the kids. My relationship with my girlfriend of nine and a half years ended back in March, but soon after I found myself dating a sweetheart of a guy named Ronnie. I've started going to college again, this time to become a counselor. For the first time in my life, there's a lot of things going right. I know what kind of professional life I wanna pursue. I have an old Lexus now that's paid off. I have people in my life that have essentially saved me from dying from all the change of the last few months. But I haven't quite gotten to the point where I'm happy, you know? And I'm almost 100% sure that it's because I haven't been feeding my creative side. I've gotten so much better at taking care of my relationships, sure, but the love for myself just isn't there. So today, I wanna take your lead in declaring this the first day of the rest of your life, because I think I need to do the same. I want so badly to just be happy with my life, but part of me is too fixated on returning to the past because it's so scared of change that it doesn't care that the past wasn't good for me. I'm going to start posting videos talking to my future self once a week because I think that would be a really good first step in trying to be better. I'm going to post the first one later tonight if you're interested, but regardless I just want to say thank you, Cory. Just for existing, just for being you. I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that you have had a huge impact on my life, and I wouldn't be surprised if that continued to be true. Lots of love from Washington, Sam
Sam, creating is one of the BEST ways to work through problems. You might find yourself saying and doing things that you've been really needing to hear. In this video, I said a lot of things that really surprised me. I know it's only the next day but I've watched this video back about 3 times already and it's got me feeling super motivated. Try it! Create! It's truly an amazing feeling and it might help others along the way as well.
Hey Cory, you looking great. Loved it. Thinking of doing it too. Im sure you will feel better everyday. Please share after 7days retreat feels. All the best. You gonna shine out. Stay safe 😘❣️❣️
My husband just asked “what’s Cory been up to? I haven’t seen you watching his videos lately” and here you are. God we miss you here. Feels like forever. I hope this trip goes well and brings you new life and motivation. Looking forward to seeing more.
11:30-11:54 this part hit me hard. I think i needed to hear this. This is exactly what I am going through right now. These words you said in this time frame was exactly what I needed to hear. See Cory you're such in importation again/ still.
6mins sounds like my dad talking to me for real and he is in heaven now. Thanks! He was my biggest genuine cheerleader most other people tuned out or positive mirrors don’t even believe always guaranteed in you. He actually believed in me. Anyway it sounds like he is saying this at this time of my life when I’m finally believing in me too and my dreams and I’m rising now and finally shifting like for real into everything my whole life has led me to now. This yr this is my expanse! My wings and investing in my family with my dreams too. Thanks Cory!
You have also found your soulmate and helped create two miracles. It doesn't stop there, you may be only at a turn in the road. There are many wild adventures yet to be encountered. Stay safe and sane, Cory.
As much as it was for you Cory. it was for me as well, i am also in a period of my life where i feel like im just in a state of cruising and not improving or declining. i need to break out of this mundane blah in my head. i need to live life to the fullest and do more. I need to embrace friendships and relationships more. so thank you for sharing this message with me. i need to work on my life ar me so it becomes so much more fulfilling, than it is right now.
Man I hate this new TH-cam thing of not showing certain channels content unless you actually search for it, I've not seen this channel for ages because of that. Good to find it again.
Cory...I've been through many of your ups and downs over the years back about 2008 bro. I wish I knew you personally but if you don't ever take or learn anything from me, just keep in mind bro, no matter what others think of you or even how you think of yourself...its okay to just plain be you! :)
Now that I've finished watching: I think it's okay to not grow for a bit. I feel like sometimes you have to take a moment to be with who you are today without wanting to change any part of who that is. I also don't think growth can happen when you are only trying to grow in a direction someone else wants you to grow it. Keep doing you. I love your channel so much and am happy to watch anything you create.
Mahalo Cory for ALL YOUR AMAZING INPUT & THOUGHTS ON EVERYTHING AROUND YOU🥰❣️ TH-cam would NEVER be the same WITHOUT you 👍🥰❣️ Keep making these huge differences and TAKE IT ONE DAY AT A TIME 👍🥰🤗❣️✨ LOVE TO YOUR OHANA🥰🤗❣️✨ 💞 ALOHA FROM HAWAI'I 💞🌹 LYSSA 🌹
I just need to say this outloud: I havent been in a good mental space at all. I was 5150'd in april. I am still struggling with a lot from that. but two weeks agoish, I was having another bad day mentally when I randomly remembered you. I remembered all the vlogs from Alaska (I literally watched them all!) and I thought "huh, I wonder how he and Kristen are doing! How's the whole family! and then I looked up your channel and was pleasantly surprised by all of the updates since!! The most recent update from yall that I remember watching back when I was actively watching your vlogs was when you moved back to the OK and Kristen did the Portal escape room so it's been a minute since i've been here. Anyways, I say all of this to say: you guys made me escape back to Alaska and I'm slowly working my way back through the vlogs again. (starting from the move from LA) and I just finished Iditarod 2015! I remember how positive yall are and how kind you are and how dope your adventures have been! and my goodness, to watch vlogs where I don't have to worry about where my head's at and just escape reality for a vlog or two has brought a smile to my face again. yall make me hella happy. I know your journey has been far from perfect and yall have your own share of struggles but just know, these vlogs and updates really have an impact on people, at least from me. your family makes the world a better place simply by being in it. be safe and much love.
You and I are so similar in this, but instead of commentary on your letter to yourself I will cheer you on by sharing what I'm also working on and my own visions and big goals so that you too can feel that we are definitely not alone in growth and journey 2021. I love growing and learning and striving and 2020 was an entire year wasted on fleeing into world of warcraft which felt like such a step backwards not forwards so I broke up with WoW probably for forever (after 10 years) to unlock a lot of time for language learning and other things, and I'm killing it! I want to learn several hard-to-learn languages in my lifetime to feel a greater sense of achievement and I want to do translation work and if I guesstimate I will be speaking probably 6 languages really well when I'm 80. I already speak 2 languages but my home country is already so fluent in English that there's no translation jobs to be had really. Both of us sometimes have more motivation than capacity so try to not get creatively constipated when you want to do everything at once to the point that maybe it's hard to choose where to start. You've got this though! :) Have a great creativity week!
It's weird how you said you were going to retreat to a cabin. Mainly because I relate to your ADD/ADHD because I have it myself, but mainly how I relate to your stress when it comes to being creative and other things comes in the way of you being creative. I've been watching your vlogs since 2011, and I've seen you grow from this guy who was all over the place, exploring life and doing stuff with friends, and then to see you become a father, and then a husband. It's been an incredible journey for me as you've been the most real vlogger I've seen, and not one of those fake vloggers who tries to make the most extravagant and fake life just for the views. But the cabin thing is something I've ALWAYS dreamt of as a kid. I am 24 right now and the ONE thing I've always wanted is to have a cabin in the woods near a lake. That's been my one and only dream. Not to get a relationship, not to win 1 million dollar or to get a car. Not to go out and party to get drunk or whatever. Nope, it's been that damn cabin in the woods near a lake. And to know that you will actually live that dream makes me actually happy as it feels like it is actually possible for me to do it too. So I hope you'll enjoy staying at the cabin. And please just soak everything up. Wake up in that cabin, smell the cabin smell. Go out at 5 am in the morning to have a coffee and to smell the forest smells, hear the birds chirping and looking at the water as it shimmers from the sunrise. Good luck man!
Any time I see someone talk about a “writers retreat” I think of a pretty disturbing book by Chuck Palanuick (author of Fight Club) called “Haunted”. It is about a group of people who sign up for a writers retreat and it turns into something very crazy. Great read but not for the faint of heart.
Cory , have loved your vlogs since pretty much first thing I looked at in TH-cam, but I'd love to see you expand on a character the British guys who were germaphobes in " The Spitter " just go on hand sanitizer heavy accent and anointed-and annoying both. But sloppy slimy overabundant volumes of hand cleaner and volumes to the absurd maybe develop characters on a theme a series of stories. I think it hit a funny cord with reality vs obsurd. In any case a SMP films prophesy less the spit but then there's the mask angle too, winey obsession run to funny, make us laugh at ourselves, much like WC Fields and Chaplin poked fun at starvation in the depression. Just an idea with a super funny character, or could it be someone you know. Looking forward to seeing your brilliance. . . . . Best David "Bigger" larger and larger volumes of hand cleaner poke fun at volume small , not enough large pump volume squirt bottles Costco home made gels up the hands to wrist fore arms viscosity to gel waters play with earlobes oh I don't know to the odd Chitty chitty bang bang always very very posh mix it up magic bottomless reservoir to crazy containers out do the other guy competition travel size refill bottles what they hay 55gallon drums. Variations on a theme. Then a touch stone maybe Howie Mandel's endearing and annoying germaphobes but your character. That cool obsessive frenetic hand rubbing obsessive crazy character. Love it.!
You never really said if you are sharing this time off with us or not... 😆. Hope so, but if it prevents us from your creativity, DON'T! Oh by the way I still remember a restaurant that you went to that you could catch your own fish. You didn't fish at it but you definitely ate at this place. Just so you can connect to who is posting this. Have a great your away time!!
** Please read** I have followed you for a very long time now. Since Chell's birth and I LOVE you channel. I noticed you said at one moment that you know who you are, (7:30) then a minute later you say you hope you come back finding who you are. (8:05). I want to share who I see you are. You are an amazing man, father and husband, as you said. You were created by a wonderful, loving God who deeply, truly loves you. He has a amazing plan and specific purpose for your life. Videos I remember most are how you are so interested in the little things in life - nature, storms, skipping rocks, bugs, animals, plants, smells, etc. All these things were created by God and I feel He may want you to use that creativity He blessed you with and TH-cam channel to share His wonderful world with others. To show others who He is and what a great and mighty God He into the world. The world desperately needs that more than ever.
I actually do have a very close relationship with god and I know I'm here for a very good and very clear reason. I just have to get past a few things within myself so I can better serve my ultimate purpose. I'm just a vessel. A soul guiding a goofy looking ship through the ocean of life. I'm not really religious though, nor do I belong to one faith. I'm very spiritual. Love is my religion because that's all I've been told by the spirit I follow.
How are you able to process out loud so well this amazing mature conversation w yourself! You’re amazing! This is the first day of the rest of our lives! 😄😁🎁🥲❤️🌲again!!!
I’m so here for this.
How are you doing tay?
Did not expect to see you here out of all places.
Love you bro!
Hi Zay(Adam)
I was thinking about you recently! I hope all is well with _you.
Hi Cory: How are you doing? Many blessings to you and the family.
You are the story. You are the song. You are the masterpiece, fearfully and wonderfully made. Explore yourself, and others. Love the journey. This is the Art. See mistakes as unintended explorations. Live. En-Joy!
Beautiful stream of consciousness. Be patient. Self-discovery is a never-ending process. For as long as I have known you on YT, I have loved your brilliant, colourful, compassionate, creative mind. Those are but a few of your core qualities.

Aaah I can't put it into words.
Thank you,
Enjoy this Trip your going on. Can't wait to see where it takes you.
You have no obligation to stay with TH-cam, however. You wil always be welcomed back. All of our journeys dip in and down, up and around 😂
You happy now and thats all that matters!
I'm glad this had an impact on you. :)
I am a writer!!!! I’ve written three novels but haven’t published them yet…/ you nailed it on the head!.., thank you Corey for your honestly!
Wow! 3 novels. That's dedication!
Very well spoken to Cory future. We could all do with some positive self talk. 😁👋💖
I have 2 novels and 2 scripts I’ve not published or pitched. Thank you for your honesty and encouragement.
I bet the world would love to have them.
Thanks 😊
Good to hear from you! I’m looking forward to watching this series. Good luck on your retreat!
you've done so much more and stayed focused longer in spite of your ADHD, than most of us have without it. I was such a creative in high School through my early 30s yet I went nowhere with it. the desire is still there but the ideas don't come to me like they used to.

Another life lesson from our Dad Cory💕🌸💕 Now listen up kids
I feel like I needed this talk at this point in my life too. Thank you for being so relatable!
Lovely video right there, can so imagine Corey watching this himself in some years and feels amazing thinking about that.
Man I hate this new TH-cam thing of not showing certain channels content unless you actually search for it, I've not seen this channel for ages because of that. Good to find it again.
It's nice to see you.
This will be interesting, looking forward to it Cory.
«Good judgement comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgement.» Hope you will take it with you 😊
Thank you
Negativity doesn’t rent space. It’s a squatter. And it takes work to kick that stinker out. Stay well and Happy 4th! ❤️🤍💙
A squatter. I like that!
Cory...I've been through many of your ups and downs over the years back about 2008 bro. I wish I knew you personally but if you don't ever take or learn anything from me, just keep in mind bro, no matter what others think of you or even how you think of yourself...its okay to just plain be you! :)
Love this idea and I cannot wait to continue watching!
Now that I've finished watching: I think it's okay to not grow for a bit. I feel like sometimes you have to take a moment to be with who you are today without wanting to change any part of who that is. I also don't think growth can happen when you are only trying to grow in a direction someone else wants you to grow it. Keep doing you. I love your channel so much and am happy to watch anything you create.
Cory keep up the great work
I can see this becoming my favorite youtuber series. PLEASEEE keep doing them and dont give up
It felt good. I think I might.

It's weird how you said you were going to retreat to a cabin. Mainly because I relate to your ADD/ADHD because I have it myself, but mainly how I relate to your stress when it comes to being creative and other things comes in the way of you being creative. I've been watching your vlogs since 2011, and I've seen you grow from this guy who was all over the place, exploring life and doing stuff with friends, and then to see you become a father, and then a husband. It's been an incredible journey for me as you've been the most real vlogger I've seen, and not one of those fake vloggers who tries to make the most extravagant and fake life just for the views.
But the cabin thing is something I've ALWAYS dreamt of as a kid. I am 24 right now and the ONE thing I've always wanted is to have a cabin in the woods near a lake. That's been my one and only dream. Not to get a relationship, not to win 1 million dollar or to get a car. Not to go out and party to get drunk or whatever. Nope, it's been that damn cabin in the woods near a lake.
And to know that you will actually live that dream makes me actually happy as it feels like it is actually possible for me to do it too. So I hope you'll enjoy staying at the cabin. And please just soak everything up. Wake up in that cabin, smell the cabin smell. Go out at 5 am in the morning to have a coffee and to smell the forest smells, hear the birds chirping and looking at the water as it shimmers from the sunrise.
Good luck man!
Any time I see someone talk about a “writers retreat” I think of a pretty disturbing book by Chuck Palanuick (author of Fight Club) called “Haunted”. It is about a group of people who sign up for a writers retreat and it turns into something very crazy. Great read but not for the faint of heart.
Cory , have loved your vlogs since pretty much first thing I looked at in TH-cam, but I'd love to see you expand on a character the British guys who were germaphobes in " The Spitter " just go on hand sanitizer heavy accent and anointed-and annoying both. But sloppy slimy overabundant volumes of hand cleaner and volumes to the absurd maybe develop characters on a theme a series of stories. I think it hit a funny cord with reality vs obsurd. In any case a SMP films prophesy less the spit but then there's the mask angle too, winey obsession run to funny, make us laugh at ourselves, much like WC Fields and Chaplin poked fun at starvation in the depression. Just an idea with a super funny character, or could it be someone you know.
Looking forward to seeing your brilliance. . . . .
Best David
"Bigger" larger and larger volumes of hand cleaner poke fun at volume small , not enough large pump volume squirt bottles Costco home made gels up the hands to wrist fore arms viscosity to gel waters play with earlobes oh I don't know to the odd Chitty chitty bang bang always very very posh mix it up magic bottomless reservoir to crazy containers out do the other guy competition travel size refill bottles what they hay 55gallon drums. Variations on a theme. Then a touch stone maybe Howie Mandel's endearing and annoying germaphobes but your character. That cool obsessive frenetic hand rubbing obsessive crazy character. Love it.!
Your telling Nancy’s story. I always say I just have to many tabs open in my head.
Happy 4th of July!
So I haven’t watched the video but I was wondering how’s the eye. I know it got hurt a few months ago but has your sight gotten worse
It's still jacked up but I'm forgetting about it. My vision is still 10/10. It's just a little wonky in one spot.
@@LiveEachDay that’s good. Glad you can still see!

You never really said if you are sharing this time off with us or not... 😆. Hope so, but if it prevents us from your creativity, DON'T! Oh by the way I still remember a restaurant that you went to that you could catch your own fish. You didn't fish at it but you definitely ate at this place. Just so you can connect to who is posting this. Have a great your away time!!
For the algorithm
** Please read** I have followed you for a very long time now. Since Chell's birth and I LOVE you channel. I noticed you said at one moment that you know who you are, (7:30) then a minute later you say you hope you come back finding who you are. (8:05). I want to share who I see you are. You are an amazing man, father and husband, as you said. You were created by a wonderful, loving God who deeply, truly loves you. He has a amazing plan and specific purpose for your life. Videos I remember most are how you are so interested in the little things in life - nature, storms, skipping rocks, bugs, animals, plants, smells, etc. All these things were created by God and I feel He may want you to use that creativity He blessed you with and TH-cam channel to share His wonderful world with others. To show others who He is and what a great and mighty God He into the world. The world desperately needs that more than ever.
I actually do have a very close relationship with god and I know I'm here for a very good and very clear reason. I just have to get past a few things within myself so I can better serve my ultimate purpose. I'm just a vessel. A soul guiding a goofy looking ship through the ocean of life. I'm not really religious though, nor do I belong to one faith. I'm very spiritual. Love is my religion because that's all I've been told by the spirit I follow.
