our actions matter in how they affect other people, like everything we do has an affect on someone somewhere no matter how personal it seems to us. but other than that nothing is really that serious, you know?

Things mattering or not depends on a few factors. Asking if things matter in the objective sense may not be answerable. There doesn't appear to be a hierarchy or goal as a game rule of the universe. What is more interesting, however, is asking if things matter from a subjective pov. You should ask yourself what matters to you, seeing as though that's all you can base your judgments on.
Right and wrong is also a two-sided coin in the same way. Right and wrong doesn't seem to be a rule of the cosmos. What we can do, is decide what morality should hope to achieve. I don't want to hurt things that feel and understand pain. I also want those things to be able to prosper. I call that morality. Promoting health, happiness, and well-being among intelligent creatures is my moral goal in life. I don't kick puppies, or fish for dolphin, or murder people because that would break my moral code. Morals may not be absolute, but I find my morality useful regardless.
As for purpose in life, the fun is deciding what that purpose is. A negative person may hate that there is no apparent goal. An optimist embraces the opportunity to paint their own goals. I personally would like to learn as much as possible, act morally, and enjoy companionship. Everything else is secondary.
Your actions matter to those around you. Consequence stems from those actions and matters to you (and maybe others). Sure, stealing a bike may not matter to you after you've died, but it should matter to you before death. We know the now bikeless child cares, so empathy may be your best guide.
