If you're searching for the meaning of life, you're already doing it wrong. Life doesn't need a meaning, it needs a purpose. Basically, you just need something to live for. Whether it be spending time with loved ones, eating food you like or playing video games. Most people can get by if they have something to live for no matter how small.

Breaking Bad

Writing, drawing, and playing video games and stuff

I have no idea, except that I want to share my ideas with other people.
