Hey, I’m Magen. I’m 18 and I live in Tartu, Estonia — which people either think is super cool or have never heard of. 😄 I grew up running around cobblestone streets, cycling everywhere even when it’s freezing, and learning that darkness doesn’t have to be scary if you have good friends and warm socks. I just finished school and now I’m in that weird in-between phase where everyone asks “so what’s your plan?” and I just smile and say “vibe first, plan later”. I speak Estonian and English fluently, and I’m trying to learn Finnish because I love the way it sounds. People say I talk with my hands too much and laugh too loud. I think they’re probably right.

I LOVE thunderstorms. Like, the kind where the whole sky lights up and you can feel the thunder in your chest. I’ll sit by the window for hours just watching. I also love flea markets — finding old postcards, weird jewelry, clothes that already have stories in them. Hot chocolate with too much whipped cream. Dancing in my room at 2 AM for no reason.

I really don’t like when people fake-laugh. You know that awful polite laugh? Just don’t. Also — slow walkers who block the whole sidewalk. Please, pick a side. I hate the sound of chewing, sorry not sorry. And I hate when people say “you’ll understand when you’re older” like, explain it now or leave me alone. Also, wet socks.
