"Eternally Unimpressed"

"I just look eternally unimpressed so I wouldn’t be surprised if someone saw me walking through the halls looking super-moody and found out all this stuff I do and jumped to conclusions...But it’s just the way my face looks and not how I really feel. I do smile, sometimes."- Tavi Gevinson
She's only fifteen and she has sat front row at New York Fashion week. I discovered her today, but she's been on the scene for three years already. I'd hate to lower myself to the self-description of a fifteen year old, but she pretty much hit the nail on the head here. She inadvertently described me with all of the above. She said it so well "I just look eternally unimpressed" something I've been trying to put into words for people my whole life. I'm always asked why I'm upset, angry, or bothered,when I'm actually not. I'm just eternally unimpressed. I haven't the stimuli to walk around with a hammy smile on my face, I haven't the need for it either. I'm relatively content, I have what I need and know what I want (kinda), but this girl seems to have it all figured out. She knows who she is at 15 years old. The way she behaves and speaks in interviews is beyond me, I never could of dreamed of having that vernacular at 15. "It's just the way my face looks and not how I really feel" Christ, she's got it. I'd like to meet this girl, apparently, she dyed her hair grey for a whole year because she thought it was awesome and at the expense of the judgements of her classmates. She doesn't give a shit which is why she deserves an honorary post on my blog (even though her blog it ten trillion times cooler and more popular than mine) She's one of the greats in teenage culture. Kudos to you Tavi for figuring me out before I did.
