How about “stuttering ruined my illusion of a perfect life”. Letting go of what we wish and hope were true and facing what is, as it is. I really like my illusions and it’s annoying when reali...

I mean yea, it sucks sometimes. But it's also a built in douche bag detector, and those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind. Just focus on yourself man. Forgive yourself for it, a lo...
