Having my stutter for 45 years, I learned that vulnerability is my greatest strength. I choose now to educate, disclose and carry my head high in confidence. I survived a suicide attempt and now find life so precious. I simply don't pay attention to my stutter. My focus is to be present. I did entertain those thoughts for 3 decades but no more. I am Pedro, I Stutter and life goes on. My stutter doesn't define who I am, it's just what I have. If people perceive me as unintelligible, weak or broken, that's their own demons, not mine. If I have a block, I stop, breathe and carry on. I lost 35 years to my stutter, shame, guilt and fear.......no more. I am in control.
