After I post this message, I will be over one Gigasecond old! That is, 10^9 seconds from my time of birth, or about 31.69 years. As I approach this milestone, I like to look back on everything that has transpired in my first Gigasecond. All the historical events I witnessed, all the technological advancement, all of my personal achievements, and everything I have learned; going from a helpless newborn to a (mostly) functioning adult. When I consider all I have seen and done, in what seems like a relatively short amount of time, it is overwhelming! Often I feel like I'm running out of time. I still have so many thing I want to do and experience! But looking back on what I have already seen gives me hope for the future. I cannot help but wonder what I will achieve in my next Gigasecond. Assuming I am lucky enough to make it that far.
