It was so bad once upon a time that in alevels I could not even think of the word "stutter". I felt so much shame in just thinking about the word. So I feel that this is growth, that now I can tell people that I stutter and feel not embarrassed. Everyone has their own battle to fight, even with a stutter. My battle started with my brain not even able to think the word or Google it without intense shame, the kind that makes you feel hot and sweaty. Now I'm able to face myself in the mirror with my stutter. I think I look cute even with one. So I think I have come far, in some aspects. Maybe it's true. I have not worked on my stutter enough. Maybe the start was supposed with me being okay with myself, stutter and all.
