It’s Not You, It’s Me

Cory Copeland — Tue, 14 May 2013 04:06:21 +0000

You guys, I love y’all. I really do. Over the last twenty months, you’ve supported and loved me in ways I never thought possible. And while I love writing and doing what I can to help others in this life, I can’t help but feel lost sometimes. Right now is one of those times. Writing …

Thoughts on Loneliness from WE ARE NOT HOODLUMS

Cory Copeland — Thu, 09 May 2013 05:00:48 +0000

“When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take care of me.” Psalm 27:10 (NKJV) Even in today’s busy, over-populated world, it can be easy to feel lonely. It may present itself in the lack of romantic relationship we have in our lives or it can be when we don’t feel …

Cory Copeland — Tue, 07 May 2013 05:00:02 +0000

It’s a part of life to be betrayed at one point or another. Whether in the confines of a romantic relationship or by family or friends, having our trust taken advantage of and our hearts broken is going to happen at some point. It’s just a sad truth we have to face sooner or later. …

You Deserve to be Happy

Cory Copeland — Thu, 02 May 2013 05:00:21 +0000

I’m going to make this very short and very sweet. You deserve to be happy. Plain and simple. It doesn’t matter who you are, where you’re from, what you’ve done, or what you’re hiding. Regardless of what atrocious trail of broken hearts, minds, and/or souls lie behind you, you hold the right to be happy …

Why Relationships Don’t Need Rules

Cory Copeland — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 05:00:56 +0000

Over the last 20 months, I’ve written my fair share of articles about relationships. I’ve written on just about every subject where relationships are involved; everything from how to get a boyfriend/girlfriend to how to break up with the same. And throughout those articles, I’ve done my best to paint a picture of what it …

Why I Stopped Using Gay Slurs

Cory Copeland — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 08:01:47 +0000

I grew up—and currently live—in the South, and with that came certain types of attitudes and reactions. It’s not anything special to hear insults followed by uproarious laughter. That’s how we do things. We make fun of each other and we laugh about it. Whoever can come up with funniest and/or cleverest insult or comeback …

A Love Letter for You. (by Cassi Clerget)

Cory Copeland — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 05:00:38 +0000

Hi you. Yes, you. Hello, my dear. I don’t know you, or at least I don’t know everything about you. I don’t know your middle name, your favorite color, your biggest fear, or the name of the street you grew up on. And we may never meet, not in this life. I may never have …

The Right One

Cory Copeland — Tue, 16 Apr 2013 05:00:07 +0000

Most of us have had enough experience with the wrong ones. They used us up and tossed us away, or they broke us down and caused us to doubt who and what we were. The wrong ones have a way of getting to us and leaving us without much clue as to who we are …

I Want to do Bad Things

Cory Copeland — Thu, 11 Apr 2013 05:00:45 +0000

For most of my adult life, I’ve felt like I am split into two different halves; a man with two faces, if you will. One part of me is the side that cares for others and aches to help any and all with whatever plagues them. This is the side that writes devotionals and seeks …
