We All Get Older, We Don't All Get Grown.

Why is it that emotional issues seem to come in waves? Like right when I start dealing with one thing, another issue from the past hits me unexpectedly?

Although, I did notice that in the past I would hurt much more. Now, or at least today, I can analyze the situations, brush off the shoulder, and take my mind to a different place. So what does this mean? Growth? Is it healthy or not? Did I take a step forward or back?

I don't know, but it'd be cool if issues would just be nice and let me deal with them one at a time.
