i have never really connected with a post secret until today. i saw this postcard and almost started crying. all my life, i have fought with myself about my stutter, and i normally lose. i almost am afraid to be a teacher, because my job will revolve around talking, and i'm scared that students will make fun of me about my stutter the way the kids did when i was young. it scares the crap out of me.

most people that i know now, don't even know that i stutter, so that makes me better. and when they fond out that i do, in fact, stutter, a lot don't believe me. i work hard everyday to hide it from people, and it makes me happy that it works.
