Eh maybe for some stutterers. But unfortunately my severe stutter has only given me painfull & embarrassing experiences & basically had me in a metaphorical prison for 30+ years. I've had to watch all my peers surpass me & have good times and look down on me ontop of that. I'm pretty much accepted this is my life now & am pretty much just waiting for the hourglass of life to run out at this point...I still try my best to live but all I can think of is what could have been & how I had so much potential. I hope if there is a afterlife I can maybe see what I could have been if I was just able to talk normally. But for now it is what it is I guess.
