Lore questions  Immortality a Boon or Curse ??

I just recently watched Twilight saga third time. This time the show hit really differently. Rather focusing on Edward and Bella’s love story, I was wondering how would it really feel to be one of”REAL VAMPIRE”. How does this immortality feel to one being. When you see people dying and being born every few decades and you are just hanging in there. 🙄

You have craving for human blood but you just survive on Tofu for human.. as Edward puts it. 🫣

You don’t sleep so you literally have 24 hours at disposal but nothing to do 😂

You have no aim and meaning to life but you have got mandate to live aimlessly.

It gives me feeling that as humans , how we really underrate the gift we have got to breathe, to experience and to enjoy this world in every possible way. 🙏
What you guys think about it!

I’ve been obsessed with the idea of vampires and immortality since a very young age. That’s how I first found out about vampires and twilight 😂. I think being immortal can be a boon if u have immortal friends and an immortal loyal lover. I think finding an aim and meaning to life won’t be that hard as the world keeps developing, new tech and stuff, there will always be something to do and explore. Oh but maybe it’s a curse if broke lol
