You don't really expect us to answer that, do you?!
Let's say you were brought in the dark, when you were asleep dead to the world, into a prison cell with no lights on by people you don't know. No explanation. Nothing. You know it's a prison because you were dragged into it without your will and there is no way out. You kick and scream asking what you did to be here (so much as a baby kicks and scream at birth). Just an explanation, you'd demand. Don't open the door. Don't allow any family in. "Just tell me what i did". Still nothing. After much screaming and kicking, you'll get tired and go to sleep. Second day comes. Kick and scream. Nothing. You'd finally get the hang of it and try to make your cell as comfortable as you can. Someday you may get an answer. Someday we'll probably hear trumpets. Someday it would probably makes sense. Not now. That's life babe. Asking for meanings would drive you nuts (take my word for it, been there; done that). Just make your cell as comfortable as you can.

Love! People expect there to be some complicated, esoteric, hard-to-find meaning that ordinary people can never hope to uncover. When the truth is so simple & staring us right in the face. When you look at the sky, or a tree, an animal, a baby, the eyes of someone you care about, do you ever wonder, how can it be so beautiful? Someone (God) or something loved us & created us with such care & intricate design. We were born out of love & we are meant to love. Love yourself, love others, love this extraordinary planet we're in & all its creatures, love your passions, love God or whatever you choose to call Him or if you are an atheist just love Nature & that's close enough for now. Just love! When life seems empty or meaningless it is because you have hardened your heart & are not opening yourself up to love. When you do, everything becomes clear & you feel happiness.

Stop attaching meaning to life.
Accept life for what it is and just enjoy.
Everything is a learning experience.

Sometimes when I watch the Simpson's I get an Epiphany about the meaning of life-read Niche, I think I spelled him right.

Life in and of itself has no meaning. We as individuals give meaning to life.
As we go forward each day, we teach others by our actions; we show our love for life in the smiles we give strangers; and so on.
It is our obligation to give meaning to life.

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 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.
