    Seriously, can someone tell me?
    What do you live life for, what's your ultimate goal?
    Because it would be nice if someone shed some light on this situation humans got themselves into...

    I just want to be happy overall. I don't have a very specific plan for how to achieve this, and I think it could happen in a number of ways. It's slow progress, though.

    That's nice, though. Being happy is good. What makes you happy?

    The point of life? For me, it's about living in the way truest to yourself. It's making some improvement, no matter how small, to the lives and well-being of others in order to make everyone's quality of life better, therefore making living a better experience.

    I have struggled with this question a lot growing up. I became suicidal because I didn't have the answer and every move I made felt wrong.

    I have made it a point to throw myself in as may situations as possible trying to figure out what I want from life. I think the only logical answer to this question is life is what you make it. There is no wrong answer for me as long as your choices don't harm other people in any way.

    I feel like I was born to love and respect. To start my own family and enjoy life as best I can doing what works for me. above all everything I do is working towards understanding myself more so I can pass on what I've learned to my kids and anyone who what's to listen. : )

    The point of life for me is to continue pushing forward and to be a free girl someday.

    I don't think there is a point and there doesn't need to be. It's about the journey, not the destination. Over the course of your life, you will probably have many goals and purposes and "reasons for living." Those will change with time and experience and circumstance. Some will become more important, some less. Some you will wonder why you ever cared.

    You'll do things you will regret. You'll not do things, that you'll wish you did. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll buy the t-shirt.

    Sometimes it won't seem worth it, but those times won't last. Enjoy the ride and don't sweat the small stuff.

    Clear as mud?

    The point of life is to figure what your personal purpose is, and then pursuing said purpose. Not every person has the same path.

    You make your own meaning of life. That's the secret. You may believe that it's given to you by God or Nature or whatever, but the truth is, you make your own meaning of life.

    To me, the meaning of life is to learn to love myself and others.

    There is a movie called Hector and his search for happiness, check it out. When I was in high school I wrote a quote in the year book, I was just trying to be funny at the time but now i can't believe the simplicity of it is just wonderful. I wrote " I want to live until I die " you have to decide for yourself to lead a happy life. Good luck!
