I be real, the less expectation you have of something, usually the better it performs.
the more you're 'involved' or the higher ur expectations, it usually does the opposite.
why? the answer is simple
because u have bag bias, fomos.
and when u have none of those, whatever the outcome is either:
come as intended (due to low expectation)
or
come as a surprise because it did decent and above ur ridiculously low expectation.
no expectation = get surprises
high expectations = get disappointments
hoping is fine
but dreaming is another thing.
position yourself accordingly.
