I was going to say that he helps with the little things because some big things in his life are broken and he can't fix them

I was going to say that he uses the little things to help him find purpose in his life

I was going to say that the little fixes don't make the big problems go away

I was going to say some other things about him but somehow I heard those words in my own ears first

so I only said 'let him have the little things' and I said it to myself
