12 Life Lessons If Life Was Like A Telenovela
Instagram

I know the TV show “Jane The Virgin” is definitely an Americanized telenovela, but it was the reason I gave real telenovelas a chance. And I’m honestly hooked now. Here are some important life lessons I learned if life were actually like a telenovela.

1. Expect to get heartbreaking news 10 seconds after you are feeling happy.

Sorry, you're not allowed to be happy in a Novela.

2. Your lover will probably end up being your long lost half-brother.

I know right, ew. It doesn't matter if you've already had a kid together.

3. You will have at least one family member that wants to kill you.

You're lucky if it's just one family member.

4. Your family has a really big secret they are keeping from you.

Even if you think they don't, they do.

5. You’ll be kidnapped once or twice.

Don't worry you'll make it out alive if you're the main character.

6. Your sister that was killed right in front of you probably never actually died and will make an appearance again in the next season.

Then you'll feel like you have wasted time feeling sad for no reason.

7. If you are poor you’ll end up becoming rich.

8. When everything seems to be going right, someone will end up dying 5 seconds later.

9. One of the characters will have an evil twin you won’t know about.

9. Everyone will lie to you.

Literally everyone.

10. There are ALWAYS cliffhangers.

11. Your past will always come back to haunt you.

Even if you do move to another country and change your name.

12. No matter what you will always find a solution to your problems.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
