Chances that were lost

Experienced the days where your biggest chances in life were right before you staring you right in the eye just begging to be taken away by you, but sadly was lost because you were just a second too late to do anything. Yes, I bet you have felt that bitter feel of defeat. I have no way in avoiding these things to not slip up, just an advise to other people which I think I shouldn't really have the right to say but.... HEY GET SMARTER MORON! Man... that was an ouch. I seriously have no clue what I'm talking about anymore I'm just guessing what to type right now I'm just laying back and letting the fingers do their magic.
