It Was Difficult
While he was in prison, things drastically changed around the world. His family and friends moved on and they were now living lives outside of his. It was too late to play catch-up with them. He knew that he had no other option but to start over. He was glad to be innocent, but no one prepared him for this new world.
It was a lot harder than he thought it would be. It was hard to find a job and accommodation was expensive. It was hard not to give up. The only thing that kept him going was his lifelong dream.
