Let's face it: You're getting kind of old. Each ticking second adds to your growing age, even though how old you are -- in years -- is really just a boring number.

Thankfully, the website You're Getting Old takes more important factors into consideration.

The site compares your age to pop culture references and provides interesting numerical data, such as the exact number of days you've been alive.

The website also has real-time features, calculating estimates of the distance you've traveled as Earth moves around the sun, the approximate number of times your heart has beaten, and the number of breaths you have taken.

Despite the depression that might set in upon navigating this website (or how old you might feel afterward), this serves as a good reminder to be grateful and enjoy life -- while you're still alive.
