Hello,
Metteyya will not arise in your lifetime. Instead you should focus on the suttas, the closest thing we have to the Buddha's word.

Re: hi, im Indigo
Welcome to Dhamma Wheel.
The signs of the Buddha Metteya's coming are said to include the following:
The dispensation of Gotama Buddha will have entirely disappeared.
Billions of years will have then elapsed.
The lifespan of humans will be 80,000 years, with women getting married at the age of five hundred.
There'll be only three kinds of malady afflicting humans: hunger before meals, lethargy after meals and old age.
India's capital will be called Ketumati and will be located on the site of what is now Varanasi.
The whole of India will be covered in 4-inch long soft green grass and all the country's plants will be thornless.
The world will be ruled by a wheel-turning monarch called Sankha and the Bodhisatta Metteyya will be the son of Subrahma, the monarch's chief counsellor, and his wife Brahmavatī.

The main point, as Coconut noted, is that the next Buddha's coming is neither now nor any time soon.
Yena yena hi maññanti,
tato taṃ hoti aññathā.
In whatever way they conceive it,
It turns out otherwise.

Maithreeya Buddha will come to the world when there's no dhamma in this world and will have been forgotten by most on the terrestrial world
It would be aeons away provided mankind save Earth

I'm a seeker, too
Hi Indigo. Some people are called Indigo. It's sort of generational, I guess. Jesus said in John, I think, "if ye seek, ye shall find." I've been a seeker for 15 years . It wasn't until I started to seek for myself for others that life started to bloom.
Be SO open to Buddha's blessings!!! Have faith in Him and in your day (that you're doing the right thing) and believe an answer is there and, you know what? You will find it!! I mean, if you're gonna seek, seek with you're whole heart and invite Buddha along. Have great faith in Buddha because He wants your best, that's all.
Be kind....Be well
