Do you really need a purpose, having a purpose in life is more of a luxury in life, other then that you are really insignificant in every way just like the rest of the 6-7 billion of us humans. But in a way because you ave nobody expecting a thing of you can can do anything you want and it not going to effect anybody else if you don't want it to. Live the way you want to and enjoy every moment of your short life as you only get one. The only really purpose of life it to A. replicate and B. live it.
Other then that, there no real purpose and have a purpose other then that can be a curse as it restricts what you can do.
If you want a purpose he is one for you:
Go out and enjoy life and not waste a second of it, do want you want you want to do and do it because you want to do it, go skydiving or go-karting or fire eating or traveling or fornicating, I don't care, there a big wide world out there to explore and see, taste, smell, touch and hear.
There are few restrictions in the world these days.
To quote Katsumoto from the film the last samurai :'The perfect blossom is a rare thing. You could spend your life looking for one, and it would not be a wasted life.'
A life wasted is a life that's not realised there dreams and are stuck in there position forever.
For example a 16 year old girl who is top of the class is popular and has the potential to do something great with here life and is going places, then get pregnant early and has to look after it as a teen mum and funds herself with a minimum wage job when not looking after the baby when it is old enough to go to school (so in the UK, she would be 21 as the baby joins school aged 5). as she would no long be able to be funded for education by the state she would not have the funds to go to College or university thus never forfill her dreams and potential and would be stuck in that life forever unless somebody take pity on her and foots the bill to help her get that education she needs. (this day in age highly unlikely), that is a live wasted.
