Its means: The assembly of matter that is "you" is young , 17 or so.

But you are made of matter billions of years old, and are a result of billions years long processes, and that is just fantastic, ennobling and uplifting,

You are an integral part of something astounding, and as such pretty astounding yourself.

Even if you aren't Billions of years old.
