It’s amazing what a couple years will do

It’s amazing what a couple years will do I’m a 17 year old male. About 2 years ago, I was a stuttering fool. I would stay in my dark room, and feel sorry for myself. It was a very depressing time. Fast forward to the present day. I participate in class a lot (way more than some of the fluent people), I go out way more (to dances, parties, etc.), and most of all, I went to France (speaking a different language AND stuttering? Sign me up!) It takes a while, but there comes a point where you just let your stutter become a part of you, not the whole you. And once you reach that part, it makes life a whole lot easier!
