White Space

I like white space in layout and design. I'm not a designer, so I don't understand the technical principle behind white space or really how to use it properly. I just know my eye is drawn to a visual that includes it.

Then I realized I actually like "white space" everywhere. I like it in my cupboards at home. When they're crammed full of stuff it I'm not happy. I like it in my garage, in the spaces in my home and even in my mental chatter. Blank spaces, empty spaces that aren't crammed full. Space to breath and reflect. It seems important visually as well in practical life.
