listening to rakim and the pharcyde rn and just thinking it's actually kinda weird that more ppl haven't pointed out how much miles' taste in music affects his life and viewpoint in general
and how being raised by his uncle who's into more old school stuff on earth-42 would affect him and his development
i'm imagining 42 actually clowning 1610 for listening to post malone while placing a labcabincalifornia vinyl on his record player while they chill in his room one day lol
42's tastes would probably be more varied and just... like more developed in general bc he has a man who was more than likely a Part Of The Culture helping to raise him. aaron was out on the streets of brooklyn as a kid most likely swapping diy mixtapes and buying local rap cd's with his allowance/summer job money (assuming he was born like around 1978-1980, then he was most likely on the streets in the mid 90's during the Golden Age of Hip Hop).
not to mention that for aaron to even Do What He Does as the prowler, he is still out on the streets til this day, shooting the shit with fellow neighbors and shaking hands with black market merchants. he's dapping up store owners and trying to get on local gang leaders' good sides for intel. he's making connections! he is most def still swapping music recommendations with ppl in the hood and ordering vinyls online if he can't get his hands on them in physical brick-and-mortar stores
and music seems to be a super important thing to a man like aaron. that would definitely influence miles. interesting that i haven't seen more posts mentioning that actually!
Redemption day from Sundays horrible run. Training run was scheduled for 7 miles and did 10 miles to up my mileage some starting the week. Good run and happy with my effort. Happy Tuesday everyone. 🤜🤛🇺🇸❤️

I’m basically at that time in my life where im working non stop to get to where I dream of, to get to the places I trust I belong to and i trust the universe will put me in. There’s times of loneliness, boredom, tiredness and so much thought put into everything I do but more than anything there’s love. I find this love in the classrooms, in thinking about my dreams, in noticing every little step I take. That helps me remember to just slow down and breathe.
So i get off work late, with tired eyes and a tired mind, i close my laptop, i tidy my room a little bit and i train for like 15-30mins, basic ballet positions, movements I love and things I think my body needs. After that i am able to unwind, shower, make myself some food, put on some calming music, lighting up incense and maybe read or journal. The music is soothing, despite the feeling of loneliness I know there’s people out there who adore me, my cat lays on my chest and i just breathe.
