that's awesome, i don't know if i would have the guts to be a bartender. it's true though, putting yourself out there makes it get a little bit easier every day. ​ i think there is some pang we feel from the past of being made fun of or something, but there isn't that same hostility that there was, say, in my childhood. people are usually curious or ignore the stutter. ​ and we are unique people! sometimes i think of us as a rare type of bird, if you will -- the stutter adds character, depth, and color to our lives.
