It is (was?) a legitimate and nice commune I lived in temporarily because I live in an area that's around 50% hippie and used to be a hippie hotspot back in the day. It's a cheap and safer way to live in this area. I didn't move in to be a hippie or for love and peace or whatever.

My life is going pretty well, thanks. I have my shit together, got into all the colleges I tried, in multiple countries. I graduated high school last year and took a gap year so I have my finances together. I have no drug problems or a criminal record. I'm a decent citizen of society, for things that matter. And I have a good relationship with my parents.

As for where my parents are, they let me move out when I was an adult and I get to control my life. I think they trust me because I have kept my life together so far. I've been fairly independent due to life circumstances so they know I know how to control my own life. If you don't agree with their parenting methods on their (adult) daughter, it's understandable and I respect your opinion.
