My Thoughts

"The Shape of Water" holds a special place in my heart for its beautiful exploration of an unconventional romance and the idea that outcasts not only can but deserve to find love. It's one of the most visually stunning films I have ever seen. It's deep, touching, and profoundly heartfelt. Every viewing brings me to tears without fail!

"When he looks at me, the way he looks at me... He does not know what I lack or how I am incomplete. He sees me for what I am, as I am" perfectly encapsulate the film's essence and the profound connection I feel to its story.

And honestly, I wouldn't mind being whisked away by a sexy fish god myself.

"Unable to perceive the shape of you, I find you all around me. Your presence fills my eyes with Your love, It humbles my heart, For you are everywhere."
