” We are all the same as human beings, we all want to lead a happy life.”

— Dalai Lama.

My name is Mya Boren and I am 36 years old. The last episode of major illness that I experienced I was 32 years old. At that time for months on end I was in a state of dissociation, for me in the form of derealization and depersonalization. I longed to wake up one morning to find the old me in my head, however every night I would go to sleep, begging God to make me different and then came the morning and to my horror I was no different than the day before. This day played out over and over with no end in sight.

I began to believe that I was permanently changed and started to try and live my life anyway, it finally occurred to me that the state I was in didn’t prevent me from living it was merely uncomfortable. In time the fog started to lift and then one day I finally woke up me. There was no pleading with God the night before, no immediate check in upon my rising to search for my assured misery, I simply woke in a good mood with a congruent mind.

One of my favorite lyrics is from the song Summertime, “One of these mornings you’re gonna rise up singing.” I finally understood this verse. No matter what you are going through today there will be a morning in your future that you will rise up with a song in your head and hope in your heart. All suffering is temporary. Happiness and hope are permanent and never change they are always there just beneath the tide of a temporary pain. YOU are meant for HAPPINESS. This page is dedicated to all who are searching for happiness, hope and healing.

This is the first post on my new blog. I’m just getting this new blog going, so stay tuned for more.
