They seem to like having me here though...just surprised that I'm here since I'm from the city and originally from another state. I'm the district's music teacher and they used to have a good band program that was run into the ground by some crappy previous teachers and they're all so happy that a band specialist is here. I mean, even the kids are happy that they're finally being taught something. I mean, I feel welcome and accepted here (granted, I'm in the closet, but still) but I'm not sure how I fit into the community socially yet since I don't have family here and even if someone had a single family member they wanted me to meet, would they be okay with my gender and sexuality? Other than the feelings of isolation (which I also have had in the city), I like living out here so much better. I'm just wondering if there's a way to feel less isolated. Maybe there isn't a way for me whether I live here or in the city. I just feel more calm and my mental health is better out here.
