- Nowhere is it more apparent to see life's difficulties than in the homeless population. 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.—Justin Orkin
- STREET LIVING SYNOPSIS #1
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.

STREET LIVING SYNOPSIS #2
Some people can never be helped the way they need it. Some people refuse help, some people give up, others just make it hard to receive what they need. But nobody can change without help from others. 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, or to believe that they should be better. But it's never that easy. Even as much as they are pushed down.
Nowhere is it more apparent to see life's difficulties than in the homeless population. Being homeless means living in a wild jungle, where every day brings something or someone new. When we bother to look at these lives, we can see how dramatic, wild, and silly this unique world can truly be. Those that hold on and find a way learn to turn it into something else: they will press on to see life as the exciting, carefree existence that it can be when they let all the material, corporate, conforming elements go.
Baron has been living on the streets for years and has become accustomed to his situation. While nice and friendly with certain people, he creates an easy divide between high-minded people and those on the streets. He avoids drama and stays positive by surrounding himself with people like him, everyday individuals who are comfortable having freed themselves from the constrains of society. Meanwhile, he judges those who force people into roles and practices that to him are demeaning and draining.
