Do you ask the miriad of particles that make your body how old they feel? The constant quantum interactions of every particle in your body governed by a few 'simple' rules somehow gives you self awareness. Let alone all the messy chemistry of keeping the whole mechanism humming to support this self awareness. It is a meaningless concept to say that a photon crosses the Universe in an instant as it does not care as it can only follow the intrinsic laws of Physics as it interacts with anything in its path. 'Laws' by the way we are only starting to really understand. We may never!
It is interesting to note when you see an object in a telescope the photons 'die' as their energy is transformed for a fleeting instant to a sensation in a mere mortal man as a visual record when they have been travelling according to our time frame for millenia or billenia! The same thing happens in your humble camera to form an image.
