What should you do if you feel that life has no meaning?

Meaning is something we invent in order to live; if you are going to digest it anyway, why do you eat? — To keep the body functioning, not necessarily because you ‘need to eat’. But sometimes the purpose of food shifts from ‘keeping the body functioning’ to ‘desiring the food itself’; this is not necessarily a good thing, and it even comes to require its own sustenance. Meaning is food; death is digestion; living is the functioning of the body; and when meaning becomes the functioning of the body, it begins to require its own sustenance—that is precisely desire. I’ve never been a nihilist (I don’t think), and I don’t believe that meaning is predetermined. It is tiresome to consistently think about it, but I just can't let it go. What are your thoughts on this?
