I'm new here, and I want to tell all of you this. Hi! I'm new here. I only made a account to join this subreddit. I've had a stutter my entire life, up until now, at seventeen. It's gone from severe to moderate, and now it fluctuates from moderate to mild. I wanted to share a philosophy I've built for myself, that gives me confidence and bravery to speak. If you've ever internally degraded yourself, or felt unworthy because of your stutter, trapped, suffocated in it, (I've felt all of these,) or maybe even felt like your voice doesn't matter because of your stutter, I wanted to share this. Every voice is a song. Some of us have different melodies, frequencies, rhythmns in our songs. And people who stutter have a beautiful, unique opportunity to show the world a different type of music. I find if we can find poetry in our voices, we can find peace with our voices.
