Did we just become best friends??! Honestly, now I’m in my 30s I’m starting to approach life like I don’t give a f anymore and if people want to make fun of something I can’t control, then it speaks volumes about them. I actually brought up my stammer in my last job interview - I talked about having respect and compassion for others, making sure people are heard and given a safe space to talk, how I’m an excellent listener and that I always think before I speak. I got the job! In a presention I had to do online last year that was recorded, I came off and burst into tears. I felt I blocked so many times and that my voice was shaky. I sent it to my twin sister to watch and tell me the bad news. Guess what - you could not tell in the slightest! And you’ll be surprised about how many people who don’t stutter, actually stutter on words. You did a massive thing and for us, talking aloud is significant. Well done!!
