Someone once asked...
Someone answered with kindness...
This is just me, so take it with a grain of salt, but I truly believe that the point of life is finding something that you deeply love and are passionate about and enraptured by. I am someone who cares a lot about human rights and social justice. I want more than anything to live in a world where people are treated with respect and kindness, and it used to feel so suffocating to me because I didn't know how to fix anything or help anyone. But then I found my passion for writing and storytelling, and the power and sway that stories have, how they can be used to influence the world for the better. My friend found her purpose in the medical field. She has always wanted to be a doctor because she uses her passion for learning and science in a way that satisfies her love for other people. I think the point of life, in the end, is whatever makes YOU feel like getting up every morning, in spite of yesterday and in spite of tomorrow. When so much of the world and of life is terrible, you have to find that thing that makes you wanna sing from the rooftops about it. It's about the little moments too, with friends, with family, with strangers. It's easy to see the bad in the world because it's everywhere. I know, I see it. But if I can still cry over that movie I love, and still laugh so hard my stomach hurts with my friends, and still tell that story that I'm dying to get out of my head, then I think I'm still supposed to be here, for whatever reason.

did you know we have lived only 0.07% of earths' history? thats like nothing comparing JUST the earths' memory, not even the entire galaxy. and that is the whole mankind btw. so its really hard to believe a single human's life has tons of purpose. its so mere compared to anything. obviously shouldn't be a reason to die because we have individual feelings and emotions. but honestly if youre asking for purpose, maybe almost none. maybe humans will hang aroundfor a few hundred more years(if we can in this fcked up earth) then we'll vanish as well. maybe a greater species will come after us which will dominate the earth for the next couple thousands years. maybe after dinosaurs we were the 2nd species to dominate and turned out to be pretty smarter than them. so what are chances that we arent just a phase of earth? we might. and if thats the case then were probably making the earth more suitable for the upcoming species. so maybe, just maybe per human life doesn't have much meaning ?

There's no point. Things just are. You have to make your own meaning. What is meaningful to you? What would make you feel like your life was worth something? You have the freedom to decide; it's not something that is assigned to you. Have fun!

i've answered a lot of questions on here like this, and my answer is usually "to love." romantically OR platonically. love the clouds or the way your mom makes meatloaf or the people around you. if there's no love, what is there? why not experience it to the fullest instead of worrying why? nobody knows what they're doing on this spinning space rock, and all we can do is take it day-by-day. nobody has ever had it all figured out, and that's beautiful.
