Unfortunately that's definitely a problem with a lot of the phrases, they've been used in many ways by many people.
I had an existential crisis when I was in college, and I was trying really hard to explain why I should continue getting out of bed when I could just lay there and die of starvation since to do anything else lacked meaning, value, or sense. To me, that was nihilism. I finally snapped out of it when I was hearing this pencil necked nerd talk about hiking through the mountains of kenya and I was really impressed and in that moment I realized that of course there's meaning, value, and sense in the world since I'm a human being living in the world and so from that basis I can find meaning, value, and sense.
Now, does that answer all the questions? No. But it does give me a bit of a lodestone to trust my gut when I ask myself "Would I be impressed if I saw myself doing this?"
