“We make assumptions about how our lives are being charted without knowing that we’re even making these assumptions—which is the beauty of assumptions: they anchor us without the slightest clue that what we’re doing is trusting that nothing changes.

We trust and, by dint of trusting, forget we trusted.”
― André Aciman, Enigma Variations
