I suppose that without the other 100 details of the entire story, your reaction is actually quite appropriate. ;-) It was a pretty epic experience that took a month of planning. I even managed to get myself interrogated by the Japanese police, not by design. Good times! Anyway, my point stands. Don’t waste your life away worrying what everyone is going to think about you. Be bold and live your life to the fullest! What’s good for your soul is good for your stutter.
