I try to use my stutter more as a cool quirk when I meet new people. I realize that a lot of people are actually interested when you tell them and want to know more. Like when I say “ya I guess I’m le...

I am sincere when I ask this. I went thru vows as a pws. I had a belief that people would wonder "why did she pick a guy with a stutter? can he ever be successful?" I marked 25 years of marriage ...

It was a good movie. However, it reflects our insecurities. Insecurities that haven’t been addressed because of those who remember back when their time was easier. Times may be changing, for a lot it’...

Honestly, it doesn’t matter. If they stutter, we have something in common, but that doesn’t mean that’s all we’ll focus on. If they don’t stutter, hopefully they’re accepting of who I am as a whole pe...

I think that trying to lose weight (if one is overweight) or improve our stutter are good endeavors, as they’re healthy for us, but in the meantime people should not hide from the world or live with s...
