I am tired. Getting up at 4 am to fly across the country and then work all day does that. My brain is a big scramble. Worry worry worry worry. So boring really. I do not want to worry. I want to fix things. I want to think hard and solve problems. I want to calculate. That is what brains are for. Brainpower is a beautiful thing, after all. The New York Times even put a slideshow together to illustrate how pretty brains can be.
I do not want to waste my brain power in a silly pointless cycle of worry. I need to focus my thoughts towards progress. A bit of spinning is inevitable, but too much just digs a big rut, leading to getting stuck. Enough, I say. So I will tell myself: This is just another momentary hardship. That is all.
The thing is, brains are like muscles. Working my brain harder will make it stronger. Having some challenges is a good thing, otherwise, how would I ever grow? For now, I will get some rest. And tomorrow will be a productive day.

About
I have wanted to be a writer since I was about 7 years old. Instead, I became a biomedical engineer. My job does involve a lot of writing, but in a pretty formal format. This blog is a little space for me to let my words be free.

it's so true that working your brain makes it stronger (although, like working out, it's not always fun while you're doing it!) i hope that whatever is making your brain hurt gets figured out & resolved in the near future :)
