It goes on.
These three words describe the meaning of life for me. I've spent the last few months contemplating about what the human life is all about. I've read religious books, talked to atheists about their thoughts on this topic - but all of it just confused me more. And while I was trying to find answers I didn't realize that important moments were passing by. I became so engrossed in trying to 'figure' out life that I forgot to live. I avoided calling my parents, since calling them only meant talking about mundane things (what did you eat? is your job going okay? etc.). These talks weren't good enough for me, they weren't answering any of my questions. There came a point where I was so disheartened about not finding any answers that I went into depression, not knowing what this life was ultimately leading towards.
During this time one of my friends explained a very good theory to me which helped me gain a little perspective - she said that we have been accustomed to getting a result at the end of every task (we study hard for an exam, we get good grades; we exercise, we become healthy; we do good at work, we get promoted - we have an end goal to look forward to). This notion of knowing that a particular task is leading towards an end goal makes us think that this life is leading somewhere (at least that was my dilemma) and I desperately wanted to know what that end result of living this life would be. I still dont know the answer to that question but I've realized that even if you stop living, life doesn't wait for you. It doesn't come to a halt and wait for you to get back up on your feet - It goes on.
This realization hit me hard and I'm still trying to digest the fact that Life will not be soft on me, it will not sympathize with me for not being able to cope up. It will just keep passing by and it's up to me to decide if I want to get on the train and enjoy the ride or just sit on the platform and watch, as the train passes by.

Life is a blessing from God. Life is hard yet beautiful. Its unexplainable. Life is an adventure. Life is like a game without rules. You just go with the flow. Life is about meeting new people. Life is about learning and discovering. Life is about reaching your dreams.
It is a blessing for the Lord for we can get to experience his creations. Life is hard because we struggle to keep ourselves alive. We struggle to earn money to buy food. We struggle to own a house that can shelter us during harsh weather. We struggle to co-exist with humans you don't share the same thinking, but when you earned that, you owned it, you befriend its really worth it. Every struggles you've been through is so worth it to have everything you have today. Life is an adventure. Every decisions you make can bring you to a new place. A new place you could explore. A new place you could live or a place you could visit. Its like. A game. Sometimes we go around without a goal nor any purpose. We walk towards that place to pick a fight. In your life definitely you will meet so many people, you'll form bonds and learn to treasure them. Its part of everyone's life to have a friend. Life on earth since the beginning is very amusing and mysterious. Thats why us, in the future, wants to know how our past life goes by. Even now we strive to prove so many things. We live to prove what we beoieve. Finally, achieving your dreams, finishing that bucket list makes up our lives.
So how do I really define 'life'?
It is precious and amazing. Its hard yet beautiful and its worth it.
