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. -

You will answer your own question, when you've lived it.
To ask the meaning behind a painting without seeing the canvas in it's entirety can only invite presumption.
Whistler's Mother was not about a rocking chair, or even his mother, but rather what the canvas, as a whole, provided you in inspiration.

According to Islam, the meaning of life is to worship God, and prove Satan wrong. God made Adam, peace be upon him, and made him the Best of creation because he chose to voluntarily worshipped God, as opposed to the angels and animals, who didn't have the free will to choose. Satan (Shaytan in Arabic) thought he was better than Adam, peace be upon him, and tried to prove it by misleading humans and making them sin. God wants us to prove Satan wrong by choosing to worship God and ignore Satan. It's like this life is one big contest between them, and God will reward you for being on His side.

There's no meaning given to us. We need to find out own meaning.

To enjoy it because we don't know what the meaning is. And to develope our characters along the way.

...To know God, to serve Him, and to glorify Him forever. Jesus Christ gives me a real good reason to live - He gives abundant (meaningful) life, observe:
...John 10:10 - "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.
...Revelation 4:11 says, "Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created."
...John 17:3 says, "And this is eternal life, that they might know Thee, and Jesus Christ, whom Thou hast sent."
...I urge all to trust in Jesus Christ.
...Whosoever will, may come.
