A swirling mix of emotions im only now just learning to sort thru it. I wish it wasn’t tied to such a traumatic event for me but that is the real wildness of life I guess.”
The mom of one continued, “How to hold the chaos with the beauty. I have worked very hard to heal and learn thru [sic] restorative justice, how to make peace with the person who violated me and make peace with myself. It’s been hard to talk about the hunger games and Johanna Mason without feeling the sharpness of this moment in time but I’m ready to move thru it and reclaim the joy and accomplishment I felt.”
Jena concluded, “Lots of love to you survivors out there. The process is so slow and non linear. I want to say im here for anyone who needs to talk or vent or open uncommunicated spaces within themselves. Please dm me if you need a safe space to be heard.”

It’s a really sweet, human experience. I love getting to learn more about myself no matter the age or my experience.”
In an Instagram post, Malone shared, “I guess It felt like I was a heterosexual man in a woman’s body. I visualized his desires and placed them on to me. But this, was never the whole of the story that was meant for me. So I’ve been learning a new way to tell it. Using words to guide me not define me.”
