What defines us?

What defines us? What sets us aside from others?
In the scheme of things, do we really differ from the stereotypes we follow? The ones we rebel against? Who decides who we become? Us? No, we’re too insignificant to choose our futures, just a star hidden among the wider universe, behind the brighter stars, the bigger planets. Is it our friends? Our family? Do their influences make that much of a difference in comparison? Or is it larger than humans, then living, breathing life?
What defines us? What makes us who we are as human beings, as individuals? I feel like a strand of hair, just forgotten in the tangles being brushed, overlooked for my accomplishments, and seen only in my failures, when my flaws are brought to light.
What defines me?
