Finding your voice as a stutter

Finding your voice as a stutter Finding your voice as stutter is something, I think stutters like myself struggle with. Stuttering is something that can cripple your life, passions, and desires if it is left unchecked. My stuttering has led me to many dark places and missed opportunities. I have missed my chances in possible relationships, job opportunities and great conversations due to stuttering. Many people will never understand what we go through. What may seem trivial to non-stutters can be our nightmare. Example answering a telephone, introducing yourself and ordering from a drive-thru can be a stutters kryptonite. As I got older I realized that stuttering is something that I can control if I practiced or had confidence. I believe that stuttering can be a blessing if you let it because it gives you the chance to always reinvent your voice and to keep changing your tone and ranges to better suit you. Stuttering gives me the strength and the courage to work harder than my peers because I know that what I lack in words I make up in action. And with finding a voice as a stutter, I am still on the journey to find my authentic voice and to create change with my beautiful stutter.
