Free Write #2 = Alternative Thesis
Alternative conjecture to the meaning of life. I believe that the meaning of life is not to be found within the world but deep within ourselves. We as a humans, individually, define life's meaning. We have the ability to describe what we are. The meaning of life comes from our own desires. Hence, the meaning of life is whatever we want it to be, whenever we want it to be. The meaning is constantly changing. It is is completely, dependent on our own will. It can have one meaning, multiple meanings, or even no meaning at all. There are some circumstances when one person knows there is nothing to live for yet he does not take his own life. I pondered before what would be strong enough to tether this man to the world. But I realize that to exist takes energy, and the lack thereof does not mean the discontinuation of existence. This is because it too takes energy to prompt oneself to not exist. And with no things holding a man down to the world and no things pushing him a way (things that we suffer). We stay put, living but not living. Life has had meaning and has (have) not had meaning in our lives in the future, present, or past in each of us. This is so because we decide (or the entities that influence us) what we live or not live for.
The Secrets We Hide = Poem
We struggle to have meaning,
in this world which we all know,
we try but yet we wonder,
where we all should go,
hidden in the questions,
which we can not find,
the answers are all hidden,
deep inside our minds,
hidden in our soul,
is the life we try to hide,
but in time it will find you,
and it will release,
all of its secrets hidden beneath,
so before it ruins the life you have made,
release those dark secrets,
and the memories will fade,
hidden in our lives are stories left untold,
of the things we didn't want them to know,
but once you tell somebody,
and make your feelings known,
the struggle will be over,
and you'll finally be home.

List of Meanings of Life (my personal ones with most reason and evidence)
1. Purpose - Goals that motivate us
2. Happiness - The meaning is to be happy
3. Whatever we want - The meaning of life is whatever we make it
4. None - There is no meaning
5. Validation - To prove that we belong in Heaven
6. To Be - As Alan watts put it, the meaning of life is simply to be alive.
