Moving to a big city soon and I’m extremely nervous So I’m moving to a big city for university, not knowing anyone there. Literally my main, if not only concern is my stutter and how it will be received by people there. I want to reinvent myself and shed the sadness of the past, and I don’t know how to do that if i’m still sometimes terrified of my own voice.
