<human>: [This song] made me realize in a way that I didn't make a horrible decision in my life. 

I grew up on a farm in western VA. At a young age I started to become interested in hockey. Well, my dad, being super supportive, actually made me a small practice area complete with boards and all. (I wish I had pictures, but they were taken in the paper age, and after a fire we had, they are lost. :/) 

Anyways, advance me from 6 or 7 to the age of 18. I had been actively playing in leagues since about 10. I come home from high school one day, close to graduation,  and see that I have a letter from Colorado State University. I had given a full scholarship basically to play hockey. Apparently, a scout had seen me play, and was extremely impressed. So, naturally, I took it. I moved from a small "town" of about 200 to a city of I don't even know how many. A fucking metric fuck ton of people live in Denver. Like, fuck. 

Anyways, I started the program. (School, games, practice, etc.) And started to realize that I couldn't take living in the environment I was in. I had started to have panic attacks (never had them before) and couldn't focus on school. After about a month I dropped out and went back home. I went back to my little town of 200 or so people and gave up my dream because I truly missed my family, friends, and life. 

Although I gave up the dream of playing professionally, I did find a new one. I've gotten engaged to the most amazing girl ever, I'm going to college nearby(ish), and I'm starting a local rink if I can soon enough. :]

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
<bot>: Got a life related song? I do. Had dream. Came true. Gave it up for small town life. Now engaged to girl of dreams, in college, and opening rink hopefully.
