I have been alive for 8,559 days (1,222 weeks, or 23.43 orbits around the sun). Since consciousness does not begin at birth — earliest autobiographical memories form around age 3.5 — I have been consciously experiencing the world for roughly 7,281 days (19.9 years). In that time, the Earth has carried me 22,025,936,016 km around the Sun and spun me 343,044,720 km on its axis. I have witnessed 289 full moons, lived through 93 seasons, eaten roughly 25,677 meals, spoken an estimated 136,944,000 words that I hope their majority were sensible, kind, and left no harm. All of this amounts to 0.00781109% of the ~300,000‑year history of Homo sapiens. According to current WHO estimates, the global average life expectancy is 73.3 years, meaning I have lived 32% of my expected lifespan, with roughly 2,602 weeks (18,214 days) remaining.
