Sometimes, I forget that I have a older sister…
I can’t remember what she looks like, sometimes…
I surpress my childhood, for fear of remembering what a huge part of my life she was…
…and now that part of me is missing.
My earliest childhood memory is the day she moved in with me and my parents.
There were so many trips to the court. I was too young to remember what was going on…
We went to hearing after hearing.
All I knew was that I was getting a sister.
I was so excited!
(I hope she likes me…)
The day she moved in, I remember her suitcase.
It seemed so big to me.
I remember going through her stuff with her…
…she had these neon yellow swimming goggles… that were enclosed in a case.
I loved those goggles…
She let me play with them.
That made me smile!
That time is foggy in my memory, but I knew right away that I loved her.
I hope she liked me!
I felt so happy to have a sister…
…my big sister!

Ta'lor L. Pinkston created The Heart Advocate to help women + femme choose self-love as a coping skill for mental health and healing. The Heart Advocate helps women and girls (including non-binary and transgender women and girls) by facilitating workshops, providing virtual one-on-one self-love therapy and programs and managing Healing Over Everything (H.O.E.), a support group and virtual safe-space. The Heart Advocate takes self-love with her every where she goes by speaking across Pittsburgh, PA and on social media about defying fear, doubt, insecurity, shame and blame/guilt. Through Listen, Lucy Presents, a mental health initiative geared at eliminating the stigma around therapy and mental health + illness, The Heart Advocate is excited to be one of their speakers who will be connecting with Pittsburgh Public Schools and University Sororities on normalizing self-worth in mental health.

Life is a journey. The good, bad and ugly are what makes it glorious. To love is a wonderful thing. Loss is a painful thing. Regardless of how the loss occurred, some pain never heals… but you have the wonderful memories. It is my hope that as you continue on this journey, that God will renew in you memories that have faded and that those memories will renew and refresh you.
Thank you for those beautiful
