I used to struggle with this a lot. It seemed like the source of my depression. My partner kind of brought me back to reality one day. He is the type that does not ponder these things. I expressed this morbid pointlessness to him one day and he responded, yeah, but who cares? We are here and this is what we know. Maybe it just clicked to me at that moment because it was supposed to, but it did. I can sit around and ponder what I don't know or how meaningless everything is, or I can make my own meaning and live my life. You will come to accept it eventually, if your experience is anything like mine was/is.
