Reading.
I would love to just be able to sit down and read a book.
but it’s not that simple.
I have a small speech impediment (mild stutter).
it is random, unexpected, and spontaneous; doesn’t really follow a rhythm or pattern.
audibly, it isn’t too noticable.
but it greatly affects by ability to retain written text and comprehend it quickly.
it will sometimes take 10 minutes just to finish reading a paragraph.
everything must be said in a proper rhythm or I must start it all over again.
standardized testing sucked, obviously.
and reading novels or books of decent length are almost impossible to complete.
although I would love to dive into a book, it isn’t too appealing due to the inconvenience of my mental stutter.
it’s a sad truth I have accepted; and that’s all I can do.
