Hi, I am Alex. I wrote Four Darks because I needed—and wanted—to read it myself, but also to feel less lonely with certain life experiences and a particular way of being and existing in the world.
I hoped it would resonate with others in a similar place, creating a sense of connection—a sense of being seen and understood in one’s otherness.

Alex Vogel and 94 other people liked Flo's review of Of Human Bondage:
Of Human Bondage by W. Somerset Maugham
"David Copperfield written by a classic author with a modern touch. It's painful to see how underrated W. Somerset Maugham is. Give him 50 pages, and like Tolstoy or Maupassant, he will surprise you with his knowledge about the human soul. He is so nu" Read more of this review »
Devotions by Mary Oliver
"Mary Oliver is one of the rare poets writing of nature/spirituality that I enjoy. I read this collection slowly. Using them as meditations. Reading a few in the morning with tea, or after yoga, and just before bed. They were moments of peace that I l" Read more of this review »
Yoga for People Who Can't Be Bothered to Do It by Geoff Dyer
"The first essay is very entertaining. The second essay is entertaining. And... so on down the line.

Here is my problem with this collection: there is a formula that emerges after you read about three of the essays. Here is it:

“In times of pain, when the future is too terrifying to contemplate and the past too painful to remember, I have learned to pay attention to right now. The precise moment I was in was always the only safe place for me.”
