Went and got a degree in Drama having spent my childhood doing poetry reading competitions because my mum in an absolute legend who kept pointing me in the direction of what was a severe stutter through childhood. I wouldn't have the words I have if I was anybody else. I wouldn't be as patient, empathetic and resilient either. Every person is the god of their conscious experience of the universe. I also had cancer in my early thirties and have had a ridiculous problem with ingrown hairs for several years now. I live a private life. When I was a child my biggest fear was meeting someone, anyone new for the first time. I'd say my name and reveal my stutter and it never got easier. Now my biggest fear is meeting someone, anyone who knows me, for fear of being taken strange because I'm 41, stick thin and don't have eyebrows. I don't lament. Stutter. Cancer. Eyebrows. I've a wider perspective for it and own my identity. As a great naritime western philosopher once rightly said I am what I am .. ack ack ack ack ✌️
