Our world is a crazy place. But it's also a beautiful place. This duality is the same one we see in people.
We are flawed beings, perfectly imperfect. Most people want to look past those who have problems,
believing they should get over their issues. But for these people, change is one of the hardest things
they can encounter.
In Street Living, Baron is in the center of this world where he is just trying to feel free from the world
around him. He lets in only those who allow him to be himself and don’t force him to fall in line. He
moves between shelters and beds, constantly on the edge of being homeless but lucky enough to find
enough resources to keep his restlessness going.
However, this is interrupted with the appearance of his former girlfriend who saw him devolve and
finally disappear without a word after traumas. This is the beginning of Baron’s final push into a new
world of the Streets.
