Everyone's life has different meanings, I can't tell you the meaning of life because in my opinion we have to make a meaning for our life. There is no meaning in life other than the ones we make. :)
My meaning: To show us how beautiful we are, other living things and items. To truly enjoy our selves. To love and be loved, to feel emotions. To understand things and not to understand things. To truly stop and smell the roses.To enjoy ourselves and be grateful for what we have. To give to those who need it. I could go on and on if you'd like me to, I just love philosophy.
