Diary blabla 6/23

What's the half life in a human body of exposure to life-threatening toxins? If, like, every exposure to broken heart syndrome level flood of dyingness takes, I dunno (?), 5 years to wash out (immunology normal, neurologically, etc), that seems doable (tho unpleasant). But what if you have multiple exposures in a 5 year span? And compound, as trauma does?

I just can't shake it tonight. The fact of it. Whether it was today or soon, it killed her. This life, the way we've been mangled to fit into it. Then a divorce, not enough meaningful 'wins', no feelings but lousy ones - broken, failing, angry, frightened, powerless - with no end in sight. I have been breathing mostly the same air as her. What's the half life of existential poison like that? I want it out of me. 

Guess: There is no cure for living but to live more?
