Ultimately, it's up to you to decide the point of it. You are the universe made self-aware, packaged in a meat suit with some primitive impulses that just so happens to be living in the most convenient/low friction environment for those primitive impulses in human history thus far.
Our culture biases towards certain life meanings (get rich! be famous! do high class things! be higher status than others! belong to the cool in-group!), and our primitive impulses are very attracted to those meanings. But as we accomplish those things, they don't end up feeling super meaningful or fulfilling.
We will all be forgotten, the universe doesn't care about our lives. But we are the universe made self-aware! How awesome is this? Yeah, we need to balance a lot of the human concerns because we're embodied in these meat suits that have certain needs. But there's so much to think about/discover/appreciate about it all while we can!
