Write a narrative on the term "Life becomes meaningless unless"

When I was 15 years old, I lost interest in everything which I loved. I stopped going to swimming classes, stopped attending keyboard lessons and what not. It's like one entire year in my life was a blur. It was dark. It was depressing. Maybe because my best friend moved away a day before my 15th birthday, I felt blank since then. I couldn't enjoy anything because everything reminded me of her. We used to do all of my favourite things together. In fact, my hobbies were my hobbies because we'd do them together. I pushed away everybody who tried to help me. My family really tried, but eventually got sick of me and let me come through on my own. It took me a year, but I started swimming again. I played keyboard and took many competitions. I felt glad that I didn't need her anymore, because I didn't like how I spent 1 year of my life crying over a mere person.
But after my second keyboard competition, after seeing my little sister and her new best friend singing together, I broke down.
I realised how wrong I was. I realised how much she still mattered to me. That was when I realised life becomes meaningless unless you have a friend to talk and have fun with.
