It means nothing. Because we don´t exist as we think. Reality is much more complex than our human senses can experience. When we talk to define what our senses feel, we are just barely describing a dream. Our short existance is nothing thru the time in universe. Our gods, our languages and our feelings are all made up by us ( humans). It´s our damn to be able to realize our existance and be able to belive or dream at the same time. We will never understand our existance as human beings. All we can know is that we exist. That is it. What a poor creature is a human so alone in this existance... but so full of hope.

Existentialism is a modern philosophy now passe that asserted that existence has priority over essence.

Well, it means to ask the question why do we exist. As it says in the name.
Read Albert Camus "The Stranger" You'll love it.
It has all the qualities of a good book. In my opinion.

it means the freedom and need to create one's own meaning without being limited by an unchosen nature or fate. its maybe a bit too optimistic about the human capacity for free will, but still an attractive philosophy.

It means you have a random existence. Life is what you make of it, which means that you are fully responsible for how you live your life. There is nothing supernatural about human existence, life is just a series of events.

Simply put, the ends justify the means.

It's all about me, and live for today, (Carpe Diem), not worrying about tomorrow.
