When we were young the future was so bright
The old neighborhood was so alive
And every kid on the whole **** street
Was gonna make it big in every beat

Now the neighborhood's cracked and torn
The kids are grown up but their lives are worn
How can one little street
Swallow so many lives

Chances thrown
Nothing's free
Longing for
Used to be
Still it's hard
Hard to see
Fragile lives
shattered dreams

Jenny had a chance, well she really did
Instead she dropped out and had a couple of kids
Mark still lives at home cause he's got no job
He just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot

Jay committed suicide
Brandon OD'd and died
What the hell is going on?
The cruellest dream - reality

Chances thrown
Nothing's free
Longing for
what used to be
Still it's hard
Hard to see
Fragile lives
Shattered dreams

-Dexter Holland

No, this isn't about the song. It's about your hopes and dreams that became shattered. What were your biggest disappointments in life?

When I never got the magical unicorn I wished for on my 7th birthday.
Hmph.
Recently, I was disappointed because I lost my (cheap) phone while I was skiing over Spring Break. But, it was a happy ending, because my data plan was just about to end, so I got a really nice phone. HTC Aria. Free too, besides the Internet and all that, which I pay for.

Wellllllll,
there was the time I was held back in school and later discovered that I didn't need the profile I was in for the study I am going to choose(we follow the dutch system), so me being held back was pretty much time wasted just because I chose the hardest profile(Nature and Technology)
Oh and avatar:the last airbender.

So um, yeah.

i used to look up to people like judges, policemen etc. i used to think that jail is for bad people... (naive isnt it?) i learned that there is no right and wrong... because everyone has their own opinion about things.

My biggest disappointment was when I failed a quiz. I think it was the only quiz in my life that I failed.

My biggest disapointment was to see how i wasted two years of my time with a boy that treated my like crap and i didn't even see it. He didn't beat me or anything, he did things like ignoring me for 5 weeks, he blamed me for everything and i had to make up for everything. Most of the time it wasn't even my fault, i mean, how can you blame someone that gets mad at you when you are lying about something big?

My biggest disapointment was when my dog died but I barely ever spent time with him and he died and I barely did anything with him. :'(

My biggest disappointment was not paying more attention in school. I probably still would not want to go to college, but I would have the satisfaction of knowing more. Now when I need to know something that I could have learned in school if I had have paid attention, I have to teach myself (mostly math, which I find very hard to learn myself).
I love my life, husband and kids. But I wonder what I maybe could have done with my life alongside raising a family (I have high standards, I would want a pretty fantastic, high paying job).
