Happiness is nice to want and wish for but some of us will never get that happy ending. Sometimes existing in the grey is all we have. Most stutterers have tried many things to remain positive and was sold many lies. Some of us have stuttered most our lives. "It's just kids. They'll grow out of it" suddenly turns into "Well adults are assholes too". Some of us are much older and existed in a time where there was no help or the teachers did nothing to the students who bullied/made of us. Sometimes you have to be aware of your reality and realize that you can't break out of it. I don't need to dress up my stuttering to accept it. I have to whether I want to or not. Stuttering was just one struggle in a sea of many I would have. Some of us are the odd ones out. No amount of positive attitude is going to change that.
