The Definition of 'Meaning'

Meaning. Usually one would search for the meaning of something else, but what is meaning initially? To me personally, meaning is an insight, an outlook a person has. Meaning is expressing your emotion and thoughts, which you base on experiences and accounts you have been through during your life.
Meaning, in my mind, is a form of expression, of a way of thought, an insight you have to convey to yourself and to others.
My experiences let me express meaning through the way I talk, the way I think, all coming down to the unique way of who I am because of the outlooks I have on the world around me.
Other’s influences, the environment’s influences, and everything around me plays a part in how I feel about meaning. But when it comes down to it, it’s personal. No one can take away my perspective and my view on finding out the meaning of everything.Through this thought and inquiry I’ve realized that “meaning” is no longer defined for me by the dictionary, but of how I see it, my own meaning of meaning.
