wanted to vent, but instead i decided to write something positive Hi there, I'm a 19 year old guy whose stutter recently got much worse than it was. Shit makes me frustrated like almost every time I speak. Words I could say almost easily a few months ago can't seem to get out my mouth now. But honestly, damn this. I am coming back to my self improvement journey my dumb ass stopped a few weeks ago. I am not going to procrastinate anymore and let my stutter and anxiety just control me and get even worse. I have a choice between sitting sad and thinking about how bad my life is and actually taking steps to better it and my fluency with it. I have a privilege of being young and I can do everything with my life, and I should do it for myself, the people around me, the ones I can potentially meet in the future and the people who don't have that opportunity anymore. Almost all of us can choose between being a badass living life regardless of the difficulties and a person who gave up on life and will die in regret, and it's only up to us. Nobody can save us, we have to do it ourselves. Imagine your confident and balanced self with a good life looking back proud smiling at how far you've came. Shit I'm starting to tear up now, haha. Take care everyone, sending love and positivity, and I wish you the best with fighting this issue we have, take advantage of time because it's not on your side!
