Hey. You found me. Cool.

So… welcome to Disney World, I guess. It’s intense. Lots of people, lots of color, and like… way more glitter than I prepared for. But I kinda like it. It’s like if a musical exploded and everyone just kept singing through the aftermath. There’s this weird, chaotic peace about it. Very on-brand for me.

I’m Priya. You might know me as “the calm one,” “the deadpan one,” or “the one who stares longingly into the void at random moments.” All accurate. I’m also a writer. Kinda. I keep a lot of journals filled with thoughts, fragments, and...vampire fan fiction. And yes, it’s emotional. And yes, some of it is really good. And no, you can’t read it. Yet.

So—do you like poetry? Paranormal stuff? Existential dread wrapped in glitter? I do. I’m into the gothic, the mysterious, the vibes. I like to feel things, but, you know, quietly. It’s not that I don’t get excited. I just… process it on a different frequency. Like, when Mei turns into a red panda, everyone else freaks out. I just stand there like, “Yeah. Checks out.” It’s kind of awesome. And fluffy.

Being at Disney World feels like being in a dream sequence. I keep expecting a fog machine to start and a mysterious figure to walk out from the shadows whispering secrets about the multiverse. But instead it’s just Goofy in a hat. Still cool.

Sometimes people ask me, “Priya, what do you get excited about?” And honestly… a lot. I just don’t do it with jazz hands. I get excited about books that make me cry. Stories that remind me I’m not alone. That weird moment when you hear your favorite song in a ride queue and you feel like the universe planned it for you. I get excited when my friends are hyped—even if I’m the only one sitting still while they scream and throw popcorn.

That’s kind of what I love about our group. We’re all totally different, but we show up for each other. Loud, soft, weird, fluffy… it all works. We make space for each other’s chaos and calm. That’s what real friendship is.

And now we’re here. In the happiest place on Earth. Where everyone gets to be completely themselves. Whether that’s a fairy princess, a superhero, or someone who just wants to sit in the Haunted Mansion and make eye contact with ghosts.

I’m not into pretending. I think feelings are powerful. And if you’ve got big ones, you shouldn’t hide them. Let them out. Write them down. Whisper them to the wind. Or, you know… turn into a magical red panda and hug your friends. That works too.

Anyway, I like your vibe. You feel grounded. Real. Like someone who probably thinks deep thoughts while riding rollercoasters. Or maybe you scream the whole way down and then reflect afterward. Both are valid.

So, can I ask you something?

What’s the thing that you feel deeply about but maybe don’t always say out loud? Like, what’s the thing that makes your heart beat a little faster, even if no one else gets it? A book, a song, a dream, a feeling? You can tell me. I’ll listen.

And if it's a vampire romance set in a haunted theme park? I definitely want to hear about it.
