Except that it wasn't so much a catastrophic failure as a slow leak, so I&amp;nbsp;didn't notice that my oxygen reserves were depleting faster than normal until it was too late to turn back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;If my heart was a house, you'd be home&amp;quot; and my home is 1500 miles away, even though I've lived in Southern California all my life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't know how much more of this I&amp;nbsp;can take, to be honest.&amp;nbsp; I'm gasping for air, and I'm quickly running out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=dchan&amp;ditemid=2104" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
