Say hi on Insta -- I hang out there a bit, often posting creative content, poetry and ridiculous mum/life stuff on stories: @heidilakin @heidilakindesign

I used to think love is blind Careless and free Love walks in and takes everything Bleeds until dry while sucking down hope Love defined by hot moments Glances, strokes, quivers and shakes Love understood by force and passion Hold me until I die, within the grip of your gaze I shrink, I shrivel under the clench of your attachment I can't breathe in your hunger But can't live without it I am nothing in your consumption But nothing if you aren't consumed by me How little I knew How ignorant and naive How conditioned to conditions My heart so twisted and shaped Into something so man-made While I desperately lift my eyes Stretch my arms out to learn To be ironed out and rebuilt I have discovered truth Love is without complaint Or demands It does not take what is sacred And turn it into a performance Love is lots of little gestures Not to be praised But to simply give warmth Love is small and unassuming Not to be noticed But to simply give safety Love is lots of awkward moments Some hot and heavy Some quiet and still Some loud and angry Mostly gracious and plain All strung together To create something wildly beautiful And unseen Love is not an eye for an eye Or a bone for a bone Love is not a mountain for a pebble Love is a gift formed on solid ground A gift that comes from a loved soul To love without expectations Love must come from love I must love myself first Love is taking care of self So that you don't have to But if you want to, that is a gift Not something I request Love is bathing in milk soaking in flowers Maintaining my temple So that I can give freely Love is humility Caring for others While knowing my worth is my own A birthright that can not be argued Boundaries that are fair and true Love is knowing my power A power not for gain A power to stay humble and flourish A power to remain grateful Love is knowing I don’t own anybody But I can freely entrust myself without chains Because my words are true And today is enough Love is... "come in, and take your shoes off Because you stand on sacred ground, Not because I am better than you, But because I am Doing the same for you..." #poetry
I’m chasing a beauty not defined by time or effort but by the substance I already have within me. This beauty says our worth is a birthright not something earned. This beauty speaks with truth, embraces with empathy, understands with humility and dances to a wave of melody that can’t be seen in this world. Even when everything else screams at you a definition of beauty that burdens your every cell, weighs down your spirit and shadows your wild. Who ever said that the majority was right? The trends are out of beat with the drums of heaven and it seems unnatural at first to dance to the off beat in the majority’s eyes. But that’s the beat that brings freedom. I’m chasing the substance found in the quiet, forged in the fire, confirmed on the mountain. Be still waves of noisy doubt, thundering from insecure and confused oceans that run so deep. Be still. Because the depth of your pain is healed by His love. #poetry

My beautiful sister-friend Tess (@tessguinery) has always inspired me beyond words. From the moment I met her I loved her dearly. I am so excited by all she does always but especially as of late with the launch of her book of poetry. I’ve backed her campaign and you might like to also — it’s not just about raising the funds to print the book, it’s about believing in something greater than ourselves and being a part of it so it can honestly and beautifully inspire, encourage and grace people’s lives and warm people’s love hearts and cause people’s feet to dance to a new tune. Her words are heavenly and while being gracious and kind they also bring power, wisdom and insight. 💕 #theapricotmemoirs // Backer 97 ✨ @theapricotmemoirs
