Apparently, these creatures have become sort of a role model. They can be immortal, (providing they don't get impaled with a wooden stake), and they have superpowers, like running very fast and sparkling in sunlight.
But they have a downside: vampires are dead.
And because they are dead, they need to drain the lives out of people to give them the energy they need to look alive. (Yeah, kind of confusing, isn't it?)
What in the world does this have to do with writing your life story?
The popularity of vampires has shown us how valuable our lives are.
In stories and movies, humans are literally the life blood for vampires.
We have that special ingredient that vampires crave: life.
And wrapped up in that life are not only the physical elements of breathing and the beating of our hearts, but our lives hold a future.
Our life stories.
So, the next time you see a vampire, remember that you have a superpower that is more extraordinary; you have the power to have a purposeful life.
Show 'em what you're made of.
