“Xiao-Shu, what’s wrong with your wrist?” Meng Zhi asked, gesturing towards Mei Changsu’s hands, one supporting the other’s wrist as he poured tea.

Mei Changsu gave a small smile, but to Meng Zhi, it looked more like a grimace. “My lapse in etiquette earlier: I was careless.”

Meng Zhi refrained from saying more; his pained expression was enough. Nevertheless, Mei Changsu was grateful.

In truth, his wrists both had ached that morning, along with all the other usual joints. After grabbing Jingyan’s sword, the pain had gone from a dull ache to a sharp shooting sensation. At the time, he’d concentrated hard to maintain his composure, returning the sword and quickly sheathing his hands in his sleeves. No one could see the left hand gripping the other tightly.

at times

i may seem fiercely unapologetic (and maybe even demanding) of my wants and my needs

i understand, you may see it as selfish

while everyone is welcome to their own opinion

i grew up in a place where it felt like the only person in my corner was me.

i've been gaslit, ridiculed, mocked and shamed for being who i am

i've been belittled, dismissed, rejected and ignored for calling out my experience by name

and while i acknowledge: that was then and this is now -

that was a moment (albeit a long one) in my past,

and i now live in the present.

but when i speak of my experience and you say that's not the case. when you dismiss my account of what happened or even "i understand BUT that's not the case"

it brings up the same reaction for me.

can i not be trusted to tell my own experience? "dramatic" or not?

can you not just apologize that that's how it was experienced for me, and not attack me and imply that i'm fabricating details fo the story?

i know too well the place where i'm the only one looking out for myself

i don't want to feel like we're in a place where it's you against me

but because of the way that i've grown up - i'll never NOT look out for myself, even if you're not looking out for me

i bend in a lot of ways. i compromise and i do give.

but i won't give this. my experience is my own, and it needs to be acknowledged.

while i can understand that you and i may recount the details differently, i will stand by my version of the story.

what i'm asking from you is to acknowledge my experience even if it's different than yours and really hear me. really put yourself in my position and understand how i might feel if that WAS my experience (whether that's what you meant it to be or not).

i feel like i'm always having to do a lot of teaching and explaining.

you always say "I don't know what you want me to say"

I want you to think thoughtfully and respond empathetically - that's what I strive to do for you, though I'm not perfect

5 + 1 =  7 - 2 + 1

Also:

5 - 1 = 7 - 2 - 1

Also:

5 * 1 = 7 - (2 * 1)
