Without going into a lot of detail, I've been seriously contemplating my life and considering some drastic changes. How does one tell what life is supposed to be about?

I've been thinking about it a lot too in my own life. I'm still in high school, and I'm trying to figure out what exactly life is all about. I'm trying to learn and experience as much as i can. I want to learn everything i can on my time on earth. I want to find someone I truly love. I do believe there is a greater purpose for everything. If you seriously are interested in this, try reading Thoreau..it really opened my mind.

For everyone it's different I suppose. The longer I am on earth (36 years 10 months), the more I wonder what the hell are we doing here. Seems like hell, when you die you live. At least I think so.

No. I have honestly never wondered. I have always known that you just do your very best (especially for those who love you, even though you may love, or think you love, somebody else).
On the rare occasions where I have been very depressed and thought about ending it all, I remembered how much they loved me and realized I could not do such a thing to them.

Life – it has a meaning and loving purpose - you just have to find your purpose and live it.
I believe every person is here for a definite purpose. Each person is special and valuable; that refers to me, you, your family, friends, in fact everybody! There is a loving plan for each of our lives here on earth and there is no such thing as coincidence. I don't believe that anything in life happens by chance and that every aspect of our lives points to something deeper.
You need to decide now to live for God rather than for yourself. You spend your life on Earth preparing yourself (as best you can) for death. I don't see death as a scary, negative experience, but birth into a bliss filled eternal life with God. I believe that this is something you have to consciously choose or not during your life on earth.
The meaning of life is for us to discover that we are true children of an infinitely loving and merciful God, to find out what our responsibilities are to our Creator, and to fulfill those responsibilities. Each of us is called to affirm, accept and develop the talents God has given us. -

Yes. I am 43-years-old, and I still have no answers. I just try to keep in control of things as much as possible.

Life has no meaning..It is just a learning experience whatever that comes your way.

I have put a lot of thought into it. it can be boiled down to surviving. also procreating which is a way to ensure your survival. all other things can be reduced to this.
