One True Calling? Nah!

I'm coming off my vacation high and this sh*t is tough. When I booked my trip I thought "oh, I'm going to come back refreshed and reinvigorated and ready to hit the ground running for the rest of the year." Instead I'm feeling frustrated and confused and keep asking myself the question: what's next!? Yesterday I watched this  Ted Talk and it hit me: I'm a multipotentialite. In a nutshell the talk touches on how many of us don't have one true calling. We love to immerse ourselves in new challenges, hobbies, etc. and typically become very good at them until we get bored and want to try something new. Living a true multi-potential life also causes a lot of anxiety because it's not the norm and as multipotentialites we are constantly bombarded with q's like:

What's your major?
What do you want to be when you grow up?
What's your career path?
What do you LOVE to do?

All of these are singular! Multipotentialites are so much more than one focused "major." If you at all feel like this, I definitely suggest watching the Ted Talk. Once you watch you'll understand when I say I'm at the two year mark... almost to the day! Anywho, as I figure out my life, I wanted to share that gem of a Ted talk in case it could help bring some clarity to your life.

Back to our regularly scheduled programming! In packing for my 15 day trip I opted for easy breezy dresses like this  Billabong dress from Lulus  and wide-brimmed hats like  Janessa Leone oneSperlonga was REALLY warm and humid.... oh and btw, they don't do AC in Italy like we do in the States. To say I was sweaty 90% off the time is an understatement. This dress is super lightweight and rolls up tiny tiny which is perfect for travel!
