I hate speaking like this. It's horrible and embarrassing every day. But I'm absolutely determined I'm still going to try my best to do what I want with my life regardless. I'm young and I don't want to look back with all the regrets I see on here so much. Working really hard at speech therapy too even though it's mostly discouraging. It sucks to not be able to talk and socialize and live normally, but I don't want to make everything worse by not at least trying.
