AI learned too many times expectations will distract you from the opportunities of NOW. If i look too far ahead expecting something I’m not appreciating whats happening right now. And right now people are listening to my music on apple and Spotify and want me to put out a project. And the anticipation for trill Miles music is building and i like that. Eventually id like my music to take me places and afford a living for myself. Idk how it’ll happen, idk when it will. Could be 2 yrs. could be 4. I'm focusing on the now. Expectations not tor me.
