‘Writing trumps stuttering’, that’s what I’d always tell myself whenever a vowel pushed itself back down my throat the second I started mouthing my name.
It’s not that I don’t enjoy talking, words just had a hard time flowing out of my mouth without sounding sluggish and awkwardly long.
Writing just became my means of self expression; no riddles, no delayed reactions, just jotting down my thoughts and sending them out to the world.
As much as I love talking, I just can’t live without writing.
