I realized when my mom went to live in Mexico for a year i was stressed. Ive stuttered my whole life and didn't grow up happy, always miserable and depressed but i didn't know any better so it didn't bother me until i got older. I think when I was younger i was just always on high alert and trying to keep the peace and stay safe that i didn't have time to be really sad and depressed i had to force myself to keep moving and i would force myself to speak regardless of a HORRIBLE stutter. And i stuck around after graduation to care for my siblings so when she left and we had the house alone my stutter almost went away completely and i didn't feel the need to smoke as much weed. I was high on life and happy. Now it's back lol but it's not as bad because I've come to a realization that im doing everything i can and everything is gonna be alright.
