See, when one gets to a point closer to whatever one might believe to be higher than this material plane, one might come to understand that whatever beauty might happen to be contained within youth and innocence pales in comparison to unchanging spirit. That those two lovebirds in the picture you posted might get to have their one transience of joy, would then become something to appreciate instead of envy. Since they had it, you get to have it too.

Whenever I start to think it's all over for me, I missed out, I happen to recall memories that might remind me of such a time when I very well might've been that guy in the photo, I just happened not to remember it because I took it for granted. Such is the nature of innocence itself; we don't know how precious these moments are, and thus cannot fully appreciate their timeless transience until we look back upon them after such innocence is lost. One might be in awe of how much can be gained from so little; I would encourage you, OP, and any other anon interested to get in touch with the spiritual nature of things to determine for oneself whether or not less is just enough.
