“Reassuring thoughts have a funny way of getting stuck on repeat. Then you wake up one day and you can't remember where you put the last thirty years of your life.”

Meaning

This points to the way comfort can become inertia. It can be taken to mean that easy explanations and repeated consolations help you keep going, but also help you avoid noticing how much time has passed or what has been neglected. The line lands for anyone who has stayed settled for too long, only to realize that calm can quietly turn into drift.
