The Queen of Weird

What was shocking to me is that my society at that time approved standing by your man and suffering an abusive relationship more than they approved of a woman getting a divorce.

I'm not afraid to die. What I'm afraid of is becoming irrelevant, or invisible in my culture and in my society today.

When I'm on my deathbed I think I'll be present as I've never been present ever before. I want to savor every moment that I'm there; I think it's going to be exciting.

I want to be shocked by being a light for someone at the end of a tunnel. I want to be shocked to know that something I did made a difference, no matter how small it is.

Regardless of my age, I'm going to continue to grow and change. And if you know me today don't think you'll know me tomorrow. I will not be the same Aralyn Hughes that I was yesterday.

"...if it's not shocking, I'm not interested!"
