I just don&#8217;t want to think at all. I want to shut my brain down. Hell, even my brain does not really want to think at the moment. So be it! A day where I shutdown then.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unfortunately, I am feeling a bit down today and my brain is telling me that I am a fool.
