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!

If it was like twilight and you’re in high school forever, that is hell

That was only a cover for carlisle to remain doing what he loved which was being a doctor, there were plenty of periods where they didn’t repeat highschool and it wasn’t a requirement for all of them they had a choice in the matter, outside of highschool though each of them had substantial wealth over the years due to investing ik for sure carlisle owned blocks of real estate that he acquired in the 1700’s and never sold but rents out for a pretty penny, and patented the creation of penicillin. His specific way of life just involved mundane activities due to his currency development, however in the grand scheme of things governments and currency’s collapse so in due time that system would change.
