Love songs

Hey, Jess here!

Have you ever  wondered why there are so many songs about love? Whether they're sad or happy, there are countless of them. Well, I know that I have wondered. And I think I have found an answer that satisfies me.

This may sound a little fairytale-ish, but in my opinion love actually gives power. Though, not something as magical power or muscles, but strength within. But sometimes this strength from the inside can turn into actual physical strength. We all know those moments, even if it's just in a movie, when someone goes to great lengths for someone they love. And maybe fairytales aren't such a bad example. Remember how true loves kiss can break any curse? Of course there's some magic involved, but love is a magical thing? To be honest, I still don't know how love works. I still don't know why I love my boyfriend so much. I know what I like about him, of course I do. But why I feel this strongly about him, I don't know. I mean, I've been in love before, I care a whole lot about my friends, but why is this person so different?
The point that I'm trying to make is that love can do so much to a person. I won't get too personal, I don't want to bother anyone with that. But I can tell you for sure that love can save a person's life, it can make someone want to live again.

So I think love gives those who sing about it some sort of power. It's their inspiration and since there's always someone who can relate to their songs, it causes (strong) emotions. Unfortunately these emotions aren't always happy ones. But music is a great outlet and sometimes you have to let the bad ones out.

So I think my conclusion is that love is power. At least it is to me.

To be continued...

"Assassin's Creed; The Secret Crusade" Book review

Hey, Jess here! Me, a huge fan of the Assassins Creed game series, is also a hug fan of the Assassins Creed book series. What a coincidence! No, not really, haha. I can't remember when I discovered the books, but I'm definitely sure that I did. Though there is a little catch. Not all the books have been written according to the chronological order from the games. This won't be a problem at all, I'll just follow the games' order and I'll mention in what year the books have been written. Easy peasy lemon squeezy (or something like that)! Assassin's Creed; The Secret Crusade This book was written in 2011 by Oliver Bowden. This is not the first book he's written, but the story is about Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad who is the first Assassin from the first game. Right of the bat I want to talk about the thing I find the most awesome about the books Bowden has written about Assassins Creed. His books don't just follow the stories of the games. It&

God research: 2. Hou Yi

Hey, Jess here! So I kind of let the game decide for me which god I was going to discuss next. In Smite there is a game mode that's called Assault. In this game mode you het a random god picked out for and you have to do it with that one. Though you do have the option to switch with one of your teammates, but only if they want that too. Because of this, I said to myself "whichever one you get to play with, that will be the one you'll discuss next". And so it happened... Hou Yi in the right upper corner, next to the World Tree, taking aim at the suns.   Hou Yi is from the Chinese mythology and he was a famous archer. He is mostly known from the myth of the Ten Suns. This story is one of the most famous Chinese myths and takes place in prehistoric times. Back then a week consisted of 10 days instead of 7. For every day there was a sun and a sun bearer, also called a Jun-raven, that would take place in the sky for that day. These sun bearers were the sons of

God Research: 7. Chang'e

Hey, Jess here! Quite a while ago already, I wrote about Hou Yi. In this story I mentioned the name Chang'e a few times, because she is Hou Yi's wife. Then it so happened that I were to play Chang'e in a match of Assault in Smite, so now it's time to talk about her. Just like her husband, Chang'e is from the Chinese mythology. She is a beautiful woman who now lives on the moon.  This makes her the moon goddess. But she wasn't always that. There are at least two versions of her story and some details have even more variations. Version 1 Source: https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chang%27e#/ media/File:Chang%27e_flies_to_the_moon_-_Project_ Gutenberg_eText_15250.jpg When Chang'e still was a young, but already beautiful girl, she actually carried the name Heng'e. At that time she worked in the Jade Emperor's palace which was in heaven. In this palace resided the immortals, good people and also fairies. But one day, Heng'e broke a very
