30 years ago I didn't exist
What 'you' are, if not an assortment of matter, is pretty much a mystery. I'd say you existed going back through the carbon, mineral and water cycles a few times in the form of rudimentary materials. We all existed 13 billion years ago as some of a singularity and moved on through space rocks and stars and planetoids and asteroids, on down the line.

I don't have any pride, or avarice, only the other five deadly sins.

That's actually rather enlightening when put just so.

What separates life as an agglomeration(rather than on an individual basis,) from other matter doesn't appear to be much. The molecular structure of a person isn't wholly alien when compared with the molecular structure of, say, a rock. "Consciousness" as a concept is shakily-defined, and at its most basic, when you break down what thought processes are, appears to be nothing but chemistry; the movement of electrons along a series of sodium ions most specifically. Life is just part of a broader continuum of physical existence.
