What Was It Like Growing Up in a Community?

i had a very strong sense of belonging and identity, a sense of like being kind of senator of the universe. The one unforgivable sin that i felt growing up was basically dishonesty. When we were thinking of leaving, i just couldn't even imagine living outside,. Ah, but then once i got t then i was, i started appreciating the freedom and being ab to like, set more o my own schedule or dress how i wanted to. And most importantly, think, what i wanted to so i that would like, iam not catholic any more. I mean, pursued a very different path, but in a way that has kept open the relationships with my parents.
