Gillian Flynn Quote

You know how people sometimes say they have to hurt because if they don’t, they’re so numb they won’t feel anything? Mmm. What if it’s the opposite? Amma whispered. What if you hurt because it feels so good? Like you have a tingling, like someone left a switch on in your body. And nothing can turn the switch off except hurting? What does that mean?
