Death of a Dream

i had a friend of mine talking to me about how so much of life is learning to cope with the death of a dream… we have something in mind, something we want in life or how we expect things to play out according to our hopes and expectations… like a little girl’s fairy tale of a life… and then it blows up, falls apart, changes, shifts… somebody died, or we lost the job, or he said no, or that person let us down… and not always that it turns out bad, but just different… thought you’d be married by xx age but still aren’t even dating , always wanted to have xx job when you grew up, but circumstances changed the plan… whatever. not so much “settling for” but “coping with”.
