Friendships, expressing myself through my art (writing & dance), making life better 4 each other. And dogs.

Aren't these just things you "enjoy". Football, movies, etc.
#Feelgood, hardly "Meaning of Life". (There is none). -
Yes. You can rephrase it 'things that are important in your life' if 'meaning of' suggests some meta- meaning.

Hmm. That sounds like either a very bad situation or clinical depression.
-
Isn't that the basic "meaning of life" question though? "Why bother living?" Wondering what being alive "means" seems odd.
-
Rephrase it as 'What gives your life meaning?' if it makes it easier.

Parsing that, I feel like I'm missing something. Why do I get up? Hungry. Why do comp programming? Enjoyable challenge. etc.

To ask what all my actions mean in some meta, meta, meta sense... loses meaning.
-
Don't ask in a meta sense. Humans have a basic psychological need for meaning & purpose. How do you fill it?

We are talking maybe about 1.a motivation to act and do things and 2. a psychological tactic to make pain and death bearable.
