Sartre said "existence precedes essence" meaning you can be what you want to be. Theres more to it then that but thats it in a nutshell.

Satre was also a class A cunt. His existentialism was far too over the top for it's own good.

You can choose values, and can you can strive to embody them, but you can't just choose to be something. That's fairy tale nonsense.
