Allow me share a bit about my journey— a mix of contradictions that's led me to where I am today. I've always been the outspoken type, always making a joke!
But, beneath that confident facade lurk self-esteem issues, all thanks to a childhood stutter (according to me, anyway). As a child, getting my words out was like trying to untangle a knot. A psychologist would have a field day with that, saying it wasn't just about the words, but involved deeper issues.
Here's the kicker: Instead of seeking therapy, I decided to dive headfirst into the fire. I threw myself into situations where I had to speak up, where my stutter couldn't hold me back. It was scary, but you know what? It worked. I'm not saying it was easy. Confronting your demons never is. But with each challenge I faced, I chipped away at those insecurities. And, it worked. I'm proud to say that now I'm pursuing a career in public speaking.
It's like taking back control, turning what once held me back into my biggest strength. Sure, I still have my moments of doubt, but I've learned to own them. Because at the end of the day, it's not about being perfect—it's about owning who you are, flaws and all. So yes, I am a walking paradox—a loudmouth with a fragile ego. But, I'm okay with that. Because I've learned that sometimes, it's the things that make us different that end up making us stronger. And hey, that's a lesson worth sharing.
