State of my Digestion

I've realised, quite belatedly, that thinking really hurts.

I had taken it for granted all this while, operating for 21 ignorant years of my life with the belief that thinking and using my brain came as naturally to me as breathing, or as digesting.

Turns out though, that when I use my brain too much, those unnoticed little synapses explode like a mad fireworks display, and then the entirety of my grey matter starts to hurt. Lemming-like, every single brain cell shoves the one before it down the empty void just over the edge, until my brain empties itself out.
