Being in my media production business, I know a thing or two about rebuilding.

Building edit suites and creative/promotional workspace is one thing; rebuilding your life from the ground up? That’s a challenge I am struggling in life.

I do not know specifically how retain the idea of keeping toxic people out. I did start to implement what many would consider boundaries, but that was too little too late; it’s hard to find good help and most often the people who come to help may have good intentions but the outcomes can be far from the dream.

One of the things I have done was to do-away of specific interests, such as shutting down The Museum of Telephony, I felt that had to go. The second is start to find people who have describable personalities. That alone can cut down that list.

I do not want someone to come into my space and tell me what I am doing “wrong”. It’s not to say I may do something that’s not proper. I want to have my safe-space too, we all do, hell even Donald Trump has safe spaces (CPAC, TPUSA, etc.) so it’s not just the left.

I don’t know how much more I can attempt to rebuild and have it go away just like what happened 2 years ago. Everything was stable until the pandemic. Most of the pandemic concerns have dwindled, but everything is back to normal for the IDD system, and the ongoing destruction that we ourselves have to clean up. Or shouldn’t I? Maybe I was the enabler.

If you have any ideas, please let me know in the comments.
