If you had searched YA, you'd find that your question has been asked two and a half million times, with this answer included.
If you quiet yourself and look at why matter has a drive to survive, to evolve, to have a self, an ego identity, and consciousness, or why does matter even exists and become these things, life's meaning becomes obvious. Even after an eternity of time, there still would be no reason for it to exist and become what it is, except for a vast intelligence that had to create it with infinitely complex physics in its design, as it pursues higher evolved levels of consciousness, until it reaches the human form and God's consciousness is complete. And this indicates purpose and meaning.
Evolution evolves consciousness, and with consciousness the universe is able know itself. There wouldn't be a point for existence if it didn't know that it existed. It becomes completely conscious as a human but is trapped in its complete identification to being a human form and doesn't experience its reality of being formless and infinite. It has to deliberately find its freedom by first knowing that it's ignorant of its true Self. It is discovering that it doesn't know itself that will eventually lead it back.
This has been going on forever, because by existence knowing itself, it creates its own unknowingness, its own eternal unconsciousness, from out of a non-definable vacuum state that's best described as infinite bliss, infinite knowledge and infinite power that is non-dualistic. Its consciousness is Reality and its unconsciousness creates an infinite illusion of existence as the universe in order to become conscious in a human form and then find its way back to its real Self.
