Walking is hard, especially since I’m a really clumsy person. Accident-prone and kinesthetically challenged, you can often see me dropping something on the floor, spilling drinks on the ground, or just falling over entirely. I have a lot of random cuts from bumping into sharp objects accidentally; I like to call them battle scars to feel cooler. Once at my dad’s car shop, I got cut from running into a tire display; it was kind of embarrassing, but at least I got a cool scar from it.

My phone is always cracked and dented because I have the motor skills of a child. I have to get a new one every year because of how terribly mangled they’d get. One time, the entire phone screen fell out and all the wiring inside got exposed; rest in pieces to that Samsung Note 5. Since I have a job now, buying phone cases and screen protectors have been a game-changer for me. However, even those buffers can’t withstand me for long; I’m on my second case and my screen protector is barely holding on.

My clumsiness extends to my speech as well because I fumble with my words quite a bit. It happens so often that my friends have a list of “Words Peter Can’t Say;” it’s quite lengthy right now and is still growing. Words like “anatomically,” “epiphany,” and “herb” are on the list, along with many more. I’d emphasize the wrong part of the word or just flat out mispronounce it; maybe I’m tongue-tied, maybe it’s a stutter, It’s just really funny when it happens.
