My friend, I understand life could be a little bit thorny just as it's always rosy sometimes, I quite understand how you feel because I have always been there and only one thing keeps me going "The light that comes after darkness". Keep your head high far above the present day turbulence as the Bible has already termed it "light affliction".

And as for the clothes, it still looks good in you, don't feel bad about it, when there is life, you will have assorted clothes to wear for each occasion.

Good luck to you in this contest my friend.
