St Stuttering

Brianne brings up a good point. What would we do if we could not speak? I think it is a very intersting question because we always take our voice for granted. I wonder just how different our society would be if we could not speak and we had to rely on a completely different means of communication. I think that even if we stuttered all the time, our lives would be completely different. I mean, we all have times when we are not sure, but what if that was all the time? Just picturing that in my mind would be like some crazy ass science ficiton movie where everything was written out in words. I can't even picture it because we rely on our voice so much. Even as babies, we use sounds and gestures to show what we need. I feel like even though stuttering is not silence in any way, it is definately a form of silence. Being articulate is something we take for granted and while you are still very capable of being articulate with a stutter, it is far more difficult. So in further reflection of what I would do if I could not speak, i would have to say that I would truly do my best to not be different person. I know that part of being silent would be motivation to make myself head in some way but that would be very difficult to find that motivation.
