I dont think anyone could possibly answer that question, but I can tell you that you must discover your own meaning for life. After all, it may just be one huge coincidence that we're here anyway but all things considered we're pretty lucky.
There are definatly times where I hit a rough patch and I wonder what the point is, but its a hell of a ride and there is so much beauty out there that can be discovered.
One day you'll find a calling, I know people who have lived nearly and entire lifetime and not truely found an answer to that question to satisfy their needs. Be thankful you're alive and do the best you can, thats all I can say.

The consequences of not having meaning and purpose are quite severe. Things that have no purpose have no worth and our human nature demands that our life be worth living.
"There is only one really serious philosophical question, and that is suicide. Deciding whether or not life is worth living is to answer the fundamental question in philosophy. All other questions follow from that." Camus
So if we have no real meaning or purpose, we invent something and then attach great importance to that something. Ultimately, we do that to avoid suicide or insanity.
But if God exists, then we can have real meaning and purpose.
“Unless you assume a God, the question of life’s purpose is meaningless.” –Bertrand Russell
I think our purpose is to seek God and to experience Him.

Life is not always a constant fuss, eventually depression sets in on one and the consideration of everything is much less.

Just trying to survive, and protect the ones I love.
