You control everything for me, when I am hungry, you let me know, when I am happy you make me smile, you make me who I am, you keep me alive, and I thank you for that. But sometimes, Brain, your job is done, and for being so smart, you should understand that.
Frankly, Brain, sometimes you just think too much.
At the end of the day when I am in bed, you can stop. I do not need to worry about something three months away. And even more so, I don’t need to think about something that I was unhappy about two weeks ago, it's in the past. But sometimes you just do not understand that.
Then you start thinking about what I want for breakfast. At 11pm, why does that even matter? You should know I just want to go to sleep. And I only know I want to go to sleep because you are telling me to. You send so many mixed signals, Brain.
Then you make me think about how the world was made because why not right? And I think about other galaxies and how big space actually is. And then you make me worry. You make me think wow Earth isn’t that stable. Or is it? What if it isn’t though? Where would we all go?
At this time brain, you could just shut off, let me sleep and we would both be happy in the morning. You wouldn’t make my eyes tired and you wouldn’t feel like crap.
But you don’t.
You start worrying again about everything. You make my heart race faster and faster. My hands get clammy. I get worked up and you hurt.
There is no need for that at all. So I would appreciate if you just stopped.
You have a lot of work already to do like helping me make good decisions and helping me pass tests. You keep me alive and breathing and I am grateful for that. So don’t overwork yourself. Because when you overwork yourself, I get to suffer the consequences and that is not fair. You torture me sometimes. I feel tired and anxious and sometimes get really overwhelmed, because of you. So you keep doing your job and help me to stop worrying so much. Keep growing and learning new things, but do not overwork yourself. And together, Brain, you and I can live in complete harmony.
