I thrive in solitude. I loved independence. I'd convinced myself I was a natural at serene self-assurance. Like a swan.

Often when I'm puzzled about where certain traits of mine come from, I just need to look back a bit.  I grew up learning to handle most things myself. My parents never asked me if I had finished my homework before going to bed, if I had documents for them to sign that permitted me to watch PG-13 clips of films in class, which flight I booked online before I booked them.

Stuttering. According to the National Stuttering Association (Yes, it exists.), it is “what happens when you have too much tension in the muscles that help you produce speech or when those parts of your body involved in talking don’t work together.” As is the brain of a stutterer, there is no anatomical harmony.
