Life is a shell. You make something out of it. Not find it. So don't search and take action in your life.

You take deep breaths, and you take it slow. Baby steps towards small goals will feel refreshing and satisfying. Try not to rush into things, because you won't be able to enjoy the process. Reconnect with your loved ones, and do things that you're more interested in with them. Occupy yourself with books/outdoor activities so you don't overthink :)

I'm sorry you feel this way. Can you tell me more about why you think this? Why do you feel as though you need a meaning in life?

My biggest suggestion is (not to sound cheesy) take each day as it's own gift in the world. That each day is another day with everyone you love, and will love you no matter what

Meaning in life is something completely different for every person. I think a good place to start is to look to the people you really admire - the people in your life or the ones you look up to - and think about what it is they do to create meaning. Even if you feel like you can't do exactly the same thing - maybe your hero is Neil Armstrong, and their can only be one first man on the moon - you can think about why what they did was special. For example, Armstrong did something nobody else had ever done before - how can you do something like that? And in looking for that answer, you just maybe might find the meaning you're looking for.

by breathing and by having the ability to see, feel, touch and exist. How can you not think you have a meaning in life!

Life can seem pointless when we feel like we are stuck. Find a new hobby, start a new book, or go for a walk every morning. Rejuvenate and renew yourself!

This is a constant battle in my life too, so I understand how you feel. From personal experience I find something time consuming. For example, last week I set myself a book to read. This week, I'm making a small rug from scratch. Next week I plan to pick a piano piece to learn. I find that if I set a small achievable goal, that it makes me feel a little better. It makes me feel like 'okay, I have something to do now, so I have to keep going and get it done'. Suddenly life has a purpose, even if it's just a small and short lived one. I hope I explained that okay.
