"She had seen shows on television talking about how people that hurt themselves were only after attention. They were wrong; they could never know what it felt like. The rush of pain, the sense of complete control when control was so far from your own reach. When the pain in her heart was too great to bear, control felt so very far away. Taking that pain inside and hiding it behind pain on the outside was all she could do to escape, there was no other way."
