In this episode of Relating to Self, Joshua Keay (S01E07) comes back to ask me intriguing questions.

Joshua does some things in a different and peculiar way. When he craves change, he focuses on changing his environment instead of his mindset. He acts chaotically when the world is stable. Then he settles down when everything is chaotic.
