Creating has always been an outlet for me to express my feelings and emotions. As an adult now, I kept a politely decent relationship with my parents, we don’t talk about past traumas so nobody gets mad. I think they are still in denial that I have a speech impediment, let alone accepting they caused it. Also neither of them are artistic so I don’t expect them to understand what I do. In the past few years my wishes to connect with people overpowered anything else, and I started to accept my condition. I also found myself a partner who doesn’t mind my stutter and they are also trying to help me understand it better so I can get better.
