Struggle to find meaning (sh.itjust.works)

Throughout my life I've struggled to find meaning. I've wondered, am I alone in this? I'd like to hear what others have to say. Particularly others that are more knowledgeable in philosophy.

What is it you seek? What is it you lack? It can be helpful to look into these questions carefully. It can also be helpful to take time to look at the exact moment-by-moment experience of this life that appears lacking. After years of philosophical study and years of trying to convince myself I wasn't dissatisfied, I stumbled upon Zen and found these kinds of investigations helpful.

"What is it you seek?"

I suppose this may be the problem because to be honest, I'm not sure.
