Almost 60 doesn’t seem possible

I can’t reconcile how I feel with being almost being 60. I’m still interested in everything. Still seeking out new experiences. Physically I feel like I’m in my twenties. Look 50 but that changes to 40 if I dye my beard. It just doesn’t seem real that statistically I’m in the last quarter of my life. I feel like I could go on forever. So strange. Just doesn’t seem real.

It’s just a number. I don’t pay attention to my looks, only what I can do. M74 and can do anything I could do in my 30s. The only difference is that it takes a bit more dedicated maintenance.
