I used to think I can’t live in places that aren’t dense, but I realize now my objection is basically I don’t want to live in cities that are basically car parks.
I like mega, mega cities, and I like nice scenic towns.
I’m only now learning how to exist in a space that is not a mega city. It feels like rewiring my brain on how space and cities work.
Whenever I’m back in Bangkok or Bombay I am still most at peace. I like the buzz of mega cities a lot. I understand space in that context intuitively and how to orient myself in those worlds. Increasingly my life is moving in a different direction.
