Meaning is principically found in relativity to something else. In a database, items only have a meaning because they've got a connection and relation. Your shoes have meaning because their purpose is to be worn, so your feet are protected. Relational beings' purpose, our purpose, is to live in relationship - with which I'm trying to say, our meaning can only be found in relationship.
Wether those relationship are pleasant, gratifying and uplifting or discouraging, debilitating and grueling depends on the habits, choices and abilities of how we interact with each other
So, by just existing there's inherent meaning (and value, purpose) included in us already
