It's a coming of age story where the young character goes from point A to B in the growing up cycle. His immature beliefs of living in the now due to fearing the future (thanks to his self esteem affected by his breakup with ex) were challenged and tested, and he realized that you can't look at life that way. You have to look forward to a life ahead of you cause you can become a waste or lose what you love at any time. So instead of drinking and being a drunkard like his deadbeat dad, he wants to be the opposite.
