Imagine you were immortal.

Imagine you, you specifically, happened to, by some unknown means - maybe you're a vampire or have some unique condition that allows you to live many years beyond the average lifespan of regular human, hundreds, thousands, however many more years - How do you think it would affect you? What would you be like? How would it change you? Your emotions? Your perspectives? Try not to think of any of the movies you have seen that answered this, how would you react to this? What would your life be like?

Feel free to discuss your ideas here, write as much as you would like.

I would be fucking miserable and bitter for all eternity.

Everyone says that, but why? You can do whatever you want, develop any skill, travel practically anywhere in the world, do anything, be anyone.

@Winterwanderer That would get boring after a hundred years or so and I would get sick of watching the earth and everyone around me die.

But you'd also see life, you'd see Leonardo Da Vinci, Nikola Tesla, Brahms, you yourself could become a versatile artist, in music & in visual arts, you could change the world with the smallest of actions & watch it echo through time.

You likely enjoy such things now on a smaller scale, who's to say there'd be no interest in a larger rendition of the things you love now yeah?
