> I just feel like the "you can be anything you want to be, and don't let stuttering impact anything" mindset is something that feels really good to believe I think you misunderstand the spirit of this ethos, which is not that the world won't care about your stutter, or that it owes you anything, or even that you can completely overcome it and be perfectly fluent. It's not even that you can do anything you set your mind to with flawless ease and become super successful at it. The spirit of this message is one of self-accountability. It's for the stutterer who says, 'I literally can't do that because of my stutter' without ever bothering to try. It's a reminder that you have control over your circumstances, even though you're not perfectly fluent. It doesn't promise you success. It just promises you agency. It's saying, "Don't put your stutter first, put yourself first."
