Nobody is going to hand you meaning on a silver platter, and anyone that claims to have all the answers is lying to you. You have to find your own meaning in life, and that means you have to choose what matters and choose what you spend your time on. There's nothing inherently meaningful in being alive, true, but our nature as thinking beings lies in giving meaning to things that are meaningless.
If you don't have a purpose, find a purpose for yourself. Everyone is insignificant, so why try to be significant to everyone? Just be significant to your friends. Show up in the world. And do things that matter to you.
Forget about the unanswerable questions. They're unanswerable, and they'll only trip you up. Go be around people, and let them remind you why you're alive. Go whistle in the dark for a while.
