I don't think life is meaningless, I just think existence as a human being is ultimately so overwhelmingly sad that it's enough to turn anyone nihilistic. The proper way is to accept the sad state of affairs voluntarily and then try to make the best of it and that'll provide you with enough meaning to bear your existential suffering. That's the best you can hope for, really.

(This is what you do if you get diagnosed with terminal illness btw: you get your affairs in order, you gather your loved ones and you try to make the best of your limited time left, and it'll be good enough)
