Do I see what I want to see or what is really there?

This being-the-only-lesbian-in-the-village business is hard (work). I don't know any other L/G/B people in Forssa, I see them but I don't know them. Once I opened my eyes and started looking, yes, they do in fact exist in this town. Now, though, I'm not sure if what I see is reality or if what I see is what I want to see. Does that make any sense?

Yesterday was once again "wear rain boots to work" day. A group of first year sustainable development students from HAMK came to Tammela to see different projects we've done during the years and I was their tour guide. Everyone knows that I'm an amazing public speaker so I wasn't worried at all... Anyway, we went to 4 different locations and I told them about 2 of them. There was about 15 of them and I am about 85% sure there was a lesbian couple in the group. And if they weren't a couple they definitely had feelings for each other. Always together, kind of leaning towards each other. Aww, young love.
