what is the meaning of life? (not 42)

this reminds me of the amazing world of gumball.
gumball and darwin go around asking people this very question. Sussie had the best answer. i don't remember the full quote but i found a couple of snippets,
"Life is about the journey, and making friends along the way,"
"The true meaning of life is finding your own way to enjoy it."
 
Might sound a little simple, but for me, the meaning of life is to live. If you reproduce, enjoy life, etc, that is a bonus.
 
I don't really believe in god, fate, astrology, or the political compass. That being said, I think we're the one part of the universe that can study itself in hopes of truly knowing itself. That's what I think our cosmic charge is.
 
To all of you motherfuckers saying shit like "the meaning of life is doing things that make other people happy", I hope you die knowing that the world was a measurably better place by having people like you in it and acting upon that philosophy.

I'm not sure what "meaning" would refer to, but something that always gives every moment of my life a lot more weight is remembering that I was not here for billions of years, maybe trillions, maybe forever. When I'm gone, I'll be gone for billions of years, maybe trillions, likely forever. Every moment I live, suffer through or enjoy, is the last version of that moment that I will ever experience. Every smile I saw and every frown I made were the last of their kind, here for a blink. I will never be again. The fact that I am now is incomprehensible to me. I think about that every day. It brings me joy and it brings me pain.

Here's a picture of a raven I took at the Grand Canyon. (it's not AI)

It wanted food.
