This is wonderful. Thank you for sharing. I really like this and relate very much. I think this helps me identify another moment of acceptance for me- when I stopped fighting so damn much to not be present in the moment. I was mid stutter on my name for the millionth time on the phone, and I realized “this isn’t going to stop for a moment anyway, I might as well accept that it’s happening”. My shoulders relaxed and I kept stuttering, but something shifted in me. Instead of thinking “get out get out get out” the whole time, I stayed in the moment. Perhaps that was a moment I “met” my stutter
