I stutter as well, and no, not everyone’s hardship is the same, but we do all have hardships. You know what is true though? We get the opportunity to overcome the negative feelings that accompany stuttering. We get the opportunity to earn that chip on our shoulder knowing we climbed a mountain that is very difficult to do. We get the excitement, the rush, and the confidence that comes with overcoming stuttering. Other people don’t get that chance - they’ll never know what it feels like.
