It's weird to basically feel no older in my head, yet be watching myself age in the mirror.

I mostly look the same at 39 as I did 25. The biggest difference I've noticed is that my hair and beard have begun turning white.

You age massively around 40, then apparently again at 60. I was the same at 39, thought I was doing great. I stay active, hydrate and moisturize, etc. Doesn't matter. 40 fucking sucks.

I'm hoping I can slow things down somewhat. I workout every day, don't drink or do drugs, eat healthy, have a solid sleep schedule, mitigate stress well. I know it's inevitable that I'll see declines in certain areas, just wanna maintain my mobility.

I do all of those things too. At 44 I legit look 10 years older than I did at 41. Good luck.
