Dealing with feelings of bitterness
Content
Dealing with feelings of bitterness I have always tried to mantain a positive mindset when it came to my stuttering. My stuttering has shaped me into the person I am - For better and for worse. However, there are some things that I have a harder time shaking than others. Ever since I was a kid I wanted to be an actor. In my late teens I decided to try and pursue a career. I had parts in small student films and spent some time in theater school, but my stuttering would continue to hamper my performances and after much consideration I decided to drop out. Up until that point I had never let my stutter get in the way of the life I wanted to live. I had been steadfast in that conviction. This, was the first time that my stutter had gotten in the way of my dream. I tried every angle, but it was just outside the realm of my physical capabilities. Some years have passed since then and I have begun to make peace with my stutter. But I still feel an occasional sadness whenever I watch a movie or think about my time in acting. I have a hard time getting past that bitterness. How do you guys deal with similar feelings?
