Selected Works of Alexandra Lopez Iglesias

Raw. Defeated. Willing.

​

I felt more connected than I ever had in my life, AWKWARD AS IT WAS.

I could relate to the people in the room sharing their stories.

 

I sat uncomfortably in a circle on a cold collapsible metal chair and for the first time in my life I felt "a part of".

 

After many and unexpected withdrawal symptoms, a lightness came over me.

I felt free, and happy and love...

LOVE.

 

On one occasion, a few months later, in a meeting at a park, I was told that I wasn't really happy, that I was just on a

*PINK CLOUD.

And soon, they said, I would be miserable like them.

 

Okay, they didn't say this last part exactly,

but it was the sentiment and the beginning of a RESENTMENT

that would later make it on my list.

*And the first thing you know, I was lifted

 right out of the AA group, and I floated 

 higher and higher and even higher, until I 

 was upon a pink cloud, which is known as

 Pink Seven, and I felt miserable again.
