Moral of the story is that life sucks now and it's harder and harder to actually get to do the stuff that makes you happy anymore.

What's with the spacing around the punctuation?
I am guessing that it is a bad text editor
Nah. I look at it more that you shouldn't put off certain activities because you've got time in the future. You need to prepare for the future, but putting all effort into making the future better without enjoying the present is going to lead to a lower quality of life.
I mean the line implies they were happy at times, but there is no happy ending, you don't become happy and stay that way. There's always more work, more goals, more pain AND more joy, at least I til it's over, then there's just nothing. I find it best to accept that it's all pretty bland, and the less you worry about how bad it is, the more you can actually see the good in what you've got now
