FATE OR FREEWILL?

Well.. before this week I would have said freewill but it's a tough question now. I guess i would have to say fate. The more I think about it the more I realize how little control we have over our lives. We think we have control because it's our own decisions we're making but the decisions we make are determined by the environment in which we were raised. Or by our genetics. So each of our lives were planned out a long long time ago according to those two factors. The people we meet and the events that happen throughout our lives do not change fate because all of those were marked by fate as well. It gets complicated to understand because everything/everyone gets tied together by interactions but fate has a strong hold on us all, it knows our reactions therefore it knows our entire lives.
I wanted to say freewill. Fate seems like we're all in chains but at the same time it's kinda like someone's looking out for us which is both reassuring and annoying. Like an overprotective parent. I understand that fate isn't like a God; It can't feel or think for itself. It's some kind of mysterious energy that doesn't have feeling or consideration for anything it causes.
