    “Aida” (pronounced like eye-YEE-duh) originally began as an Italian opera from 1871. It was later adapted as a movie in 1953, starring Sophia Loren, in which the actors lip-synced opera recordings.

  • I am free

    I don’t want to be hurting anymore. I knew that I had to feel my pain in order to release it all. It was just nonstop crying, and now the well has dried. No tears left to cry. I think society demonizes pain because as much as the pain sucks, it also comes with the…
