That I was just confused... didn't help there was no one I could trust to talk about it. My brother gave me some hand me downs before I started high school... but I was mainly in baggy hoodies and oversized pants until I was a sophomore.
...But I made a lot of changes that year. [And though he's grateful in some ways the change was quick, he feels... a bit unsure with where he stands now. Is this really the kind of guy he wanted to be? Talking about it leaves a bad taste in his mouth. It's a wonder he's even been able to navigate this conversation with a near stranger.]
