YES. okay so basically because he grew up in the system and had a chip on his shoulder, he go in with the wrong crowd after being sick of getting bullied by the older kids and started stealing. it was mostly little things and perscription drugs from houses he broke into, but eventually he realized what a scummy thing it was, so he went on to use those items for good. would donate them to the VA to help out older vets, would find a way to steal or barter for antibiotics to help sick families on the street, etc. etc. he literally began taking things from people to help out those who needed it more than the kids on the street looking to buy adderall. he didn't have some divine intervention or a come-to-jesus talk with anyone that made him change his mind, he just knew he needed to put good into the world if he expected it to come back to him. this eventually led to better things, and he would go on to pay it forward pretty consistently after that in order to keep the good luck momentum going. he's really just a hopeless bleeding heart with a bit of a 'tude.
