A Reason To Celebrate

So, no one is happier than me these days. I am feeling so much calmer because my Mom took me to the best doctor ever. I can sometimes even make my stupid mouth shut the hell up I give him credit for improving my life and the lives of my family. I am really, really Hallmark Momenting now, but it is my dream come true. These days my mouth noise is probably 75% gone. That was one of my least favorite things on earth.

For years and years my mouth became the bane of my existence. I couldn’t stop it from reciting Sesame Street. I don’t know why it chose that. But having it endlessly recite stupid episodes made me look like a moron. I totally tried to make it stop, but it never listened. I got made fun of in school because of it. 

But now it’s quieter and quieter. And I don’t feel angry anymore. I am just calm and happy. I can enjoy things more, and I am not feeling embarrassed, like I did. For the first time in my life I believe that I can accomplish things. I am sure I will be able to take the high school equivalency exam and get my diploma.

So happiness is possible even when you are nonspeaking. I feel like cheering! Hip hip hooray!
