I get the urge to quantify life like this, but as a late bloomer in many respects I find it helpful (less stressful) to focus on who I've been rather than how long my flesh has been bumbling around.

It's all a continuum full of overlapping parts of myself, but I wasn't really recognizable as my current self before about 22ish. I don't find it terribly helpful to feel time-pressured about what that previous person spent those weeks on.

Think of it as a kind of persona bankruptcy.

Life is short, and my subconscious already spends enough time worrying about water under the bridge.
