    A little note about where I’ve been: I’m not dead, unless you mean spiritually. I’m trying my hardest to finish the new book and it takes up most of my time and allotted crying episodes. I’ll do my best to return to something bordering on a ‘normal’ upload schedule when it’s finally finished and out, promise. Hope you’re doing well :)

I know I would spend my whole life writing every incarnation of him, bridging the gap, just to hear his words. Just to smell his scent on the letters he'd write. I don't even know what I would say to him, except maybe "I love you I love you I love you I miss you I love you". Thank you for writing this, and thank you for the very much needed revelation. I'm gonna go cry some more now. Good night.

Everything comes crashing down and you just feel like ending it all just to get rid of the unbearable pain inside.

      Hence why this person suggested he has explaining to do. Without asking questions, nobody can know. Besides, suggesting "the courts havent figured it out", is absolutely no proof of innocence. He constantly pushes to have content removed involving this, or did.
      I get you appreciate his words, I do as well. But this obsession people have with those they admire? It's fucking disturbing. As you said, its been 4(+?) years, he is more than able to address the issue, officially. He just refuses to, because he has simple-minded drones such as yourself who will defend his cowardice. You know, it is perfectly acceptable to enjoy ones work, while also questioning their character. Its too bad he is too much of a pussy to address this issue.

She was always going to discover this method of communication for better or for worse. Both Soren-less Nia and the to-be cremated Nia were simply stuck on finding some semblance of a daughter.
      It's sad really. She wanted to find her daughter and realised even before talking to that spitting image of pragmatism that she was never going to find her... she was going to find a version of her so distant and removed that the child knew humouring Nia would be torturous and cruel. And so she realised humouring Sorens out there who had lost their own Nia would be torturous and cruel for her to do. She said it felt weird to receive his message.

On a day in an alternate universe, the wind may pick up the scent and carry it into your nose and you will remember everything. Nothing significant dies in your memories.

      I really don't think that's what happened. The person who wrote the last letter suggested several therapies, so I don't think she just took all that with 0 emotion. But who knows.

      The Nia at the end is a different Nia than the one in the rest of the story. This is shown by the person writing the letter mentioning that there wasn't a war, as well as inviting Nia's still-living family. I'm not sure that the Nia at the end had anything to do with the other Soren and Nia, other than possibly obtaining copies of their correspondence for use in her own research.

    Hey Alex! I've been a fan of your work for over a year now, always enjoyed the deep reflections proposed by these videos you make. Recently though, I've heard about some really worrying stuff you've apparently done in the past that you refuse to adress. Please, come clean about it. Be sincere, take responsibility. We all make mistakes and you seemed to really care about Pieke, even if just for a time. You owe her that.

      @@camrenstevens317 just went down that rabbit hole myself and while he's not been charged, he doesn't seem too innocent either. Just search up exurb1a controversies and you'll find stuff with sources. I'm feeling quite conflicted as this is my favourite channel after all but knowing in the back of my mind some or maybe even most of the allegations are probably true (until that court case is finished with a verdict we won't know) it kinda sucks.

      I've kinda wondered about it. I mean if it were me, I don't think I'd bring that up with anyone, especially an audience his size unless I absolutely had to. And technically, he has no reason to. Bringing up claims which are *that* serious between himself and a private party would seem kinda scummy imo. It could and likely would look like he's trying to weaponize his audience in his defense against this woman nobody knows a thing about. And "coming clean" isn't something he has to do unless he was in a legal setting. Obviously I don't like or agree with what he allegedly did, and if the allegations are true and he's convicted for it, I won't watch his shit anymore. But we as an audience kinda have no right to ask about his side of something that personal/serious and expect an answer.
      Again, if he is guilty of it, I would detest the guy. But he is innocent until proven guilty, and videos of people talking about screen recordings and personal accounts don't give enough evidence for his guilt to be 100% beyond a shadow of a doubt.
