From actress, comedian, and YouTube sensation Lilly Singh (aka Superwoman) comes the definitive guide to being a BAWSE — a person who exudes confidence, reaches goals, gets hurt efficiently, and smiles genuinely because they’ve fought through it all and made it out the other side.

BECAUSE SHE IS A BAAAWWSEE!!!

”SELF-LOVE. I openly embrace a feeling of self-love (the PG kind). I love myself because I understand myself. I love myself as the most committed partner I will ever have. I show myself love any way that I can, and when I screw up I remember to be sweet and gentle with myself. If not, I’m gonna make myself sleep on the couch. Got that, Self?”

Reflection

All day my spirit has been yearning for the voice of my great grandmother. My cheeks has been burning for her touch. I long for her. I long to share her space. I long to kiss her cheeks. She was the type of woman that loved a proper greeting. You had to kiss her on both cheeks. Don't you dare try to cheat her! She'll get you for her kisses. I long to share a laugh or two with her. I long to share with her, her favorite beer, and give cheers to love,life and family. I long to sit with her and listen to some old time tunes, like ska and rocksteady; genres created long before reggae. Reflecting on time spent with my Great-grandmother leaves me in tears. When I'm consumed by missing her; I bawl! 😭😭😭April 7th makes 4 months, and each day it's harder to digest that it's been so long.... I'm getting too emotional writing this post. My dearest, great grandmother Ruby, thanks for loving me the way you did. Your love resides in my spirit and in my being. I wouldn't be the woman I am today with you. I love you always. Kay 😘❤️😘❤️😘

Someone I Know Lost Her Mom This Afternoon

Death is normal. As normal as breathing. The only sure proof of life is death. Yet, losing a loved one or seeing someone lose their beloved is still a heart wrenching feeling. It puts everything in perspective.

Aside from being our vessels to earth, parents are the purest source of love—-(or so I hope) and losing that must be pure, raw, pain.

As we get older, we get caught up in what we must and want to achieve and the social class we must attain. This, of course, is admirable and quite important. I mean would life really be satisfying if we didn’t try to get the most out of it? Probably but I doubt it’d quench our thirst.

Ambition makes you feel alive and it’s so easy to get caught up in wanting and aiming for more but ever so often, boom! Death sneaks in like nippy wind, through the cracks of our lives and slaps cold reality across our faces and in that moment of fervent shiver, we realize what has always mattered and what will always matter—-loving those who our hearts long for and being completely present in that love.

Some people, the lucky ones, experience a less bitter aftertaste of death while some, end up with tongues swollen from the pungent burn of demise.

I don’t know which category I’ll fall into but I can choose to do everything in my power to lessen the probability of falling into the group with the burn.

This is not new. Death will never be new. It’s the only constant thing in life.

So love now, love strong and love as deep as you know how to. Always remember that as we get older, our parents get even older.

May the soul of my friend’s mom rest in serene peace and may her daughter find solace in the love that she got to share with her dear mother.

Amen.
