Some people speak like waves—rising, breaking, pausing before the next word. Some might call it weakness, but they don’t see the courage behind each breath.
About 80 million people in the world stutter. Some learned to live with teasing, some turned it into rhythm. They carry patience where others rush. Every sound they make is a quiet act of strength.
They face the day like anyone else—ordering food, answering calls, singing songs, teaching kids. Sometimes the words take longer, but they always arrive. And when they do, they hit deeper.
For those who stutter: take your time. Breathe between words. Your voice has its own rhythm—follow it, don’t fight it.
For everyone else: wait. Listen. Don’t finish their sentence for them. The pause you give is the respect they deserve.
October 22 honors not just voices that speak—but voices that keep trying.
