A big shit is relieving , giving birth is hours of agonizing pain . <| sep |> I think a creative use of sunlight or lens flare would do well in this scenario . I can think of a fantastic photo taken by my sister , which was composed of her daughter playing in the pool . There was some sunlight entering the upper portion of the photo , and her daughter happened to be looking up at the time . We like to think it was her father looking down on her , since he had passed a short time before the picture was taken . <| sep |> I ' m in the US and self employed . I ' m inspired by the European lifestyle and take as many holidays as possible . I also work 4 days a week with an occasional half day in there . The only difference is I don ' t get paid and I actually lose more money . I still have to pay my rent on top of the money I would be making . It sucks but my stress levels are lower and I ' m not as burnt out as before .
