This is **your** moment. Fucking own it. Think of the happiest you’ve ever been, channel that feeling, and take a deep breathe before each sentence. You are fucking awesome! This is coming from someone who stutters, graduated from college and had to answer questions on behalf of the group during presentations when no one knew what to say. I’d give them a friendly *ya’ll a bunch of assholes* look and talk for them. I struggle daily with my stutter and it has ruined job opportunities, but a *fuck it* and *can do attitude* helps a shit ton. I personally notice I stutter less when I’m cocky as fuck. Remember!! You’re fucking awesome! If you notice a block or stammer coming up, stop. Take a breath, try again or find another word. Sometimes I just tell the person “I’m sorry, but I obviously stutter. Feel free to fill in the blanks if it gets worse again.” I then laugh and say “let’s try this again haha.” [Do Epic Shit!](https://i.imgur.com/P2HsvGS.jpg)
