I had an unusual message from the calendar on my phone when I woke up this morning - it simply said "10000th day". And I vaguely recall now that during a moment of boredom at some point last year, I found some sort of online date calculator, worked out when I would have been alive for ten thousand days, put it into my phone and then completely forgot about it. It happens about four and a half months after your 27th birthday - and after that, you stay in five figures for the rest of your life.

Sadly, my 10000 days of experience haven't come together to allow me to think of anything particularly profound to say about this moment... now that I'm looking around online, I'm seeing that it's meant to be the point where you start considering yourself an adult, after having failed to do so at all the previous age milestones. All things considered, this isn't looking like a good time for me to turn into one either (see the last few posts). But I don't feel any different - when I was much younger I always thought that I would somehow be magically changed as an adult and would just have a natural knowledge of how the world worked and what I was doing, but I really don't. Perhaps in another ten thousand days.
