Maybe so. I just feel like "acceptance" sounds like this sort of positive and closure-like term. It's not like stuttering is no longer a prevalent overhead, just because I've (purportedly) "accepted" it. It's still there, whenever I'm speaking. Haven't left it behind, like. Maybe I just have difficulty speaking about stuttering in positive terms in general... I speak, and I manage most of the time, and I know what my stutter is like. Is that a good thing? Dunno. It still just... sits there, with me. Isn't it completely oblivious to whether I "accept" it or not?
