When Breath Becomes Air

Hey, it's been awhile, well...
So I captured these 2 pictures to present you an overview of this book.

Yes, it's a spoiler. But, I'm just going to tell you the minimum amount of the story within this book, and even the slightest synopsis.

This book tells us about a medical doctor named Paul Kalanithi (the author; so this is basically an autobiography book), who suffers stage IV cancer. Yes, that's eventually the synopsis.

But, what I want to emphasize is not the way that we will have certainly read it with sympathy, but the way that we will perceive the emotions. This book is one of the memorable books I've ever read and that doesn't mean nothing. It means, every word included in this book is written with a bunch of feelings. A.K.A I cried in the end.

It's not some kind of catastrophic sickness story, it gives you more than you think. It gives you an infinite meanings of how to live. It gives you space to contemplate that the time that rouses you can also hurt you and how we should accept that and be grateful for that. The story brings us that never take for granted for our loved ones because every second matters and when you know you are about to leave them, just live for the moment.

Mr. Kalanithi was an example of being a person we deeply want. He taught me that, we can be every thing we're fighting for and everyone we're dreaming of. But remember, when the time is done, it's done, and go on running beyond your limit.  It's okay because everyone deserves a good life by sacrificing themselves. It's okay, because we are all alive within the ticking seconds.

So, overall, I think the title itself just gives me minutes to calm down my emotions. You should read it too. Thank you.
