When did 'white space' become a luxury?

I am on a high floor at Takanawa Gateway.

Large windows.
Natural light.
A space with a sense of openness.

Even between shops,
there is a proper 'interval'.

Compared to commercial facilities until now,
the atmosphere is somehow different.

I feel like in the past, things were more
densely packed.

Efficiently.
With high turnover.
Without waste.

But now,
perhaps people are tired of a 'world that is too full'.

Schedules.
Information.
Notifications.
SNS.
Comparisons.
Things to do.

Before I knew it,
even my mind had become like a crowded train.

That is why lately,
when I go to a place with white space,
I feel my breathing return.

Looking at the scenery.
Playing music.
Doing nothing.

Just by doing that,
my senses quietly settle.

Today, I was
walking through Takanawa Gateway while playing BLACKPINK's 'Shut Down' in one ear.
I feel that the old me

would not have chosen Lady Gaga or BLACKPINK in the morning.
I would have chosen a more 'settled silence'.

For example,

like Bach's Cello Suites.
But now,

not just silence,
but including a little noise, strength,
and the temperature of the city,
it is okay to shift things.
I feel like I am starting to give myself permission to be honest with the feelings of my 'current self'.

In the AI era,

information and answers
will be born faster and in greater quantities from now on.
That is precisely why, conversely,

• White space

• Intervals
• Scenery
• Silence
• The speed of sensation
The value of such things

might continue to rise.
True richness,

rather than 'having a lot',
might be the ability to breathe properly.
