EMBRACING YOUR INNER DRAMA QUEEN COULD HEAL YOU.

Have you ever had a moment in your life where your confidence was at an all-time low and every word you spoke felt like a battle? That was me - a stress stammerer struggling to find my voice in a world that seemed to move too quickly for me to keep up. But let me tell you how drama class in school became my saving grace, transforming me from a shy, anxious student to a confident individual who not only found their voice but also learnt to embrace their uniqueness.

Finding My Confidence Centre Stage

Drama class was like stepping into a whole new world, one where I could shed my insecurities and become someone else entirely - someone bold, fearless, and unapologetically authentic. This newfound freedom to express myself without judgment or fear laid the foundation for my confidence to bloom.

It wasn't the stage and the spotlight that appealed to me. I was drawn to the page and the story creation, the plot and character design. Each line I created, every emotion I portrayed, was a step towards unravelling the layers of self-doubt that had held me back for so long. Through the characters I created, I slowly began to discover parts of myself that I never knew existed - a resilient spirit, a witty sense of humor, and a voice that deserved to be heard.

Breaking the Silence of Stammering

But drama class did more than just boost my confidence; it provided me with a safe space to confront and overcome my stammer. The rhythmic cadence of the lines I delivered as I read my stories out loud to an eager cast, the supportive environment created by my classmates and teacher, all worked together like a well-choreographed scene to help me break free from the shackles of my stammer.

With each story creation, each rehearsal and performance, I felt the grip of my stammer loosening, replaced by a newfound fluency that mirrored the confidence I was beginning to exude. It was in those moments of vulnerability turned strength that I realised the power of art in healing, in transforming through story.

Embracing My Inner Drama Queen

I embraced my inner Drama Queen not as a label of excess but as a badge of honor, a reminder that it's okay to be larger than life, to take up space unapologetically, and to let your voice ring out loud and clear, stammer and all. Drama class taught me that perfection lies not in flawless creation or performances but in the raw, unfiltered essence of who we are.

So here I stand today, a testament to the transformative power of story - a once insecure student now a confident individual unafraid to take the stage (metaphorically speaking), not afraid to share my story, unafraid to stumble over words, knowing that each stumble is a part of my unique story.

In a world that often demands conformity, drama class was my rebellion, my safe haven where imperfections were not just accepted but celebrated. It was where I found my voice, conquered my stammer, and embraced the drama queen within me, unapologetically and wholeheartedly.

If you ever find yourself grappling with self-doubt or battling your own insecurities, remember this - sometimes all it takes is a page, a stage and a story that you create.

You write the plot, you decide the characters and you decide how it ends. And you get to take the bows. Have the courage to play your part in the story of your life.

Big love,

Michele
