The word "meaning" (especially "true meaning") requires a plan or design and when we refer to our existence, a plan or design requires God. What did God mean when he created us is a logical question. We can't logically ask that question of any purely natural process such as mindless evolution.
So unless we assume God exists, your question about meaning is nonsensical. It is a meaningless question. Without God, we have to change your question to "what will make us happy and forget about our meaningless existence?" And there are some psychological techniques that can help there, such as keeping too busy to think about a meaningless existence, e.g. "live life to the fullest" and "just live it".
But if we admit God might exist, then He must have put our intense need for meaning into our human nature to point us to seek Him. To seek God is our purpose on earth and in that process of seeking God, we will have our meaning.

I don't know. Right now it seems like the meaning of life is to try to get through it without getting too broken by it. Surviving, I guess.

Well, practically I don't care about it, I am satisfied enough with life as long as I have something to look forward about, like achieving my dreams and blah blah blah stuff like that.
To me, my life is like an adventure, meeting new people, gaining knowledge each and every day and solving problems and quests!!!
Cheers!!!!
P.S: Isn't life just WONDERFUL!!!
