As a kid, I spent a few years living in a mental hospital. Most of my clothes were hand-me-downs, and yes, they did look awkward. I was very aware of that, but there was nothing I could do about it. There was no one to go out and buy me nice clothing. It was painful. Very painful. And even today, when I earn my own money and buy my own clothes like everyone else, somewhere deep inside I am afraid that some of that ‘clown-ness’ stuck on me.
