a slap in the face

somehow i've felt those words as a slap in the face. they were probably not meant to me, but i've felt them that way nonetheless. fair enough, i deserved it in a way, for i've been dealing my very own share of slapping lately (the cooldown, always the cooldown). even though i see a significant difference between our words, and between our atitudes, and there's a good deal of misunderstandings in between. as per usual.
