We are all something to somebody. As our sitting Vice President once said,

«My mother used to — she would give us a hard time sometimes, and she would say to us, «I don’t know what’s wrong with you young people.  You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?»  (Laughs.)
 
You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you.»

Honestly, that’s one of my favorite recent quotes. I know it’s wacky and silly and whimsical, but it’s also got so much truth to it! No matter how much you want to stand on your own and fend for yourself, it’s impossible to fully do. You were born into this world, and you likely have the potential to create life. You’ve interacted with a whole web of people since the day you were born, and that context matters. Whether you’re a lone ranger or a communal hippie, these memes will become a part of your story.
