the silent contract you sign with the future, then sue reality for breaching.
means A belief or assumption that something will happen or that someone or something will behave a certain way in the future.
from From Latin expectare (often spelled exspectare), 'to look out for, await' — built from ex- 'out' and spectare 'to watch, look at,' the same root that gives us spectacle and spectator. So baked into the word is the image of someone gazing outward, scanning the horizon for an arrival that may or may not come. It reached English in the 16th century through the Latin noun expectationem.
