Hey there, I gotta say, I'm proud of you approaching coming out this way. I know it's not easy to adjust to coming out all over again, and especially when it changes from "I kinda love this girl" to "er... I like girls" but it sounds like you've really thought this one through and made a conscious decision to invest this much time and effort in your team. I think fact that alone will help anyone who may have difficulty with coming to terms with who you are. Besides, when it gets tough, I like to pat myself on the back by thinking of all the random people who knew me as a hard-worker or truly compassionate person 1st, and then came to the realization that I was also a lesbian. It's a lot easier, too, to watch random people start to connect the dots and say "well, I guess queer can also mean compassionate, hard-working etc." It's like being an ambassador, I guess. Plus, it makes coming home after doing all that impression-management seem all the more appealing.
I miss you, and I hope you're doing well out there :-) Take care of yourself.
