The meaning of life is forgiveness, experience (present and anticipation of future ones), action, sharing/connection/responsibility to others. I'm sad too. I think the point of life is experience, so take in the experience you're having and make the most of it. This might be the saddest point in your life, and someday you may need it to understand yourself or someone else through the lens of where you are today, or to fuel something you can't yet imagine. Make sure you have positive experiences at least weekly, if just a walk. Ask yourself: what can I take from today? Do I want things to change? How did I get here? Is this sadness enough to make me choose a different path? If the answer is yes, then don't worry about solving everything. Just figure out the first step. Then comes connection. Do you have someone you can talk through these questions with? If you decide change is needed, would they be willing to help hold future you accountable to the commitments you're making today, without it harming your relationship? And how can you make that reciprocal? Do you have responsibility to someone? If yes, do you intend to fulfill it? If yes, figure out the first step in doing that. (parent who needs your success, spouse, friend you owe a debt to). It reminds me of a lot of the best religious principles, it's why they were come up with. Forgive yourself/others/your situation so you can keep moving instead of becoming paralyzed. Work to improve yourself. Let others lightening your load but then fulfill your obligations to others. Be a real friend, and remember that being a friend also means being willing to receive help and (potentially selfless) responsibilities on your part. Actively and intentionally reflect on your day at the end of the day and again forgive yourself/others/your situation so you can continue in action and not be paralyzed, look back on your week at the end of the week, and on your life at regular milestones.
