There's no meaning, no purpose. We're random life on a random planet. Try to have a happy life and try not to inhibit the happiness of others. That's it.

There’s no meaning, no purpose.

... That you don't provide yourself, and it could be anything.

it could be anything.

But you have to actually believe it. So the trick is to find your purpose, as much as it is to make it up. There's something in you that wants to come out... or maybe not!
