Well you achieve your dream, and find yourself disappointed. You succeeded in reaching your goal which means you have a good process to get there as pointed out by cdn2wheeler. But the outcome wasn't what you thought it would be. At this, you 'failed'.
I bet when you first got what you wanted you were pleased. But did you really goal set to have that for the rest of your life unchanged?
So now as you ask, "What did I really want?", instead of just coming up with another answer of "Back to an apartment", how about you ask, "And when I get that apartment, what after that?"
If something leads you further to where you want to go, or even helps you clarify better what you are doing with your life, then you can be disappointed in the moment, but have the bigger sense of still achieving.
So that is elaborating more. But let me know what you make of this before I go any further. I'm too used to doing this 1-on-1 where I can get immediate feedback that let's me know when I'm waffling off topic. :-)
