Hallelujah! Season 3 of Jane the Virgin has aired on the CW. My life now has meaning again.

Seriously. The anticipation has been killing me during the past few months. As soon as I began the first episode, all of the great previous moments came back to me, reminding me of my love for this absolutely incredible show.

I am not going to lie, Episode 1 of this season really gave me the feels. We all know that Michael was shot in the finale of the last season. His fate hangs in the balance for a large part of this episode. All expected. Not expected: the amount of times I wanted to burst into tears during this episode. Why was this a surprise? It’s quite simple. I am 100% in every way shape and form, a proud member of #TeamRafael.

Ask my friends; during the last season I absolutely despised Michael. To be fair, it was less about him, and more how his being with Jane hurt Rafael. Quick reminder, he is the handsome and sensitive guy that has developed into such a better man and father. That is, only for Jane to realize that she doesn’t want to fight for their love and their family. She wants to be safe with Michael. But I digress. The point is that I arrived at Season 3 just a little salty about this whole wedding thing that had just happened.

And then all of the emotions of this first episode got me feeling some type of way. The flashbacks of when Jane and Michael first met. C’mon, are you kidding me? The magic of that first kiss. UGH! I want that first kiss! And then they had to go even further with scenes set in the future. We saw how Jane envisions them raising three kids because that’s the number they settled on, and grandchildren in Christmas outfits on the staircase, and Michael at the grill because according to Jane, he’s the best griller. That was all way too much. Like who wouldn’t want that, who wouldn’t sympathize with the pain Jane felt in that moment about the trajectory of her life being potentially changed forever?

Again.

At the point in the episode when Jane spontaneously decided to take a break and venture to another waiting area so that she could sob hysterically by herself, as she clutched Michael’s wedding ring, I literally broke. I just wanted her to have that happily ever after, that HEA. Even if it was with the character I despised. Because I’m not a monster, no way I can hate on their love story. It’s deep. It’s strong.


So, since we let Jane have that HEA, now let’s start talking about when I get mine! Just kidding, if it means getting accidentally artificially inseminated, I think I’ll just take my sweet time. I think.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.
