In her own words, Anania Orgeas is... " simply me ," a young woman in search of love and justice. While her professional world (modeling) doesn't define who she is, her career and experience speak volumes. We wanted to speak with her to learn more about her personality. " It's up to you to guess " is the invitation she extended to us.
All women have faced a struggle at one time or another. What has been the biggest challenge in your life?
I believe that life itself is a journey of challenges to overcome. And this has been the case since the day we were born. The challenges we overcome are incomparable to each other, because they are experienced in a completely subjective way. What took the most work and dedication, and from which I have grown, is learning to live with my anxiety attacks. For 2 years, I had them constantly. They had taken control of my life. I call it "brain disease" ... No one can understand it because it cannot be seen. I "had no life" anymore: depression, isolation, anxiety, nausea, claustrophobia, hypervigilance, etc. To tell the truth, they never disappeared. They are still there, however, I welcome them and accept them. They are part of me. So, from the moment I wanted to take control of my body and my mind, I saw myself grow and rediscovered a taste for life, for the simple things of everyday life. I then felt the joy of being alive.
When do you feel you are showing strength?
This makes me smile because the term "strength" is often used and has so many meanings. Strength, for me, is vulnerability, the ability to communicate and show emotions, to give others the opportunity to understand us better, which also means giving them access to our weaknesses. Strength, for me, is not how others see us; it's how we perceive ourselves and how we interact with others. To put it simply, strength has a physical character, but it is also mental.
In turn made of shadows and lights, such are women, echoing the moon that rules us. What is your share of light, what is your share of shadow?
My light side would be that of benevolence, watching over those I love. My dark side would come from the environment, the darkness and misfortune that reign on our planet.
Express your most important conviction, the one that guides your steps in life.
My conviction, the one that carries me and brought me to where I am today, is the happiness I find in simple things. You just have to listen to yourself and observe what surrounds you, be aware of your being, to realize how wonderful life is. You have to leave the doors open, and not be afraid to say to yourself "why not?"
Mind upload. It marks the starting point for the story of our heroine ALYH, who uploads her mind into a universe in which she evolves and surpasses herself. What abilities would you develop if this adventure were offered to you?
If I had the opportunity today to do a mind upload like ALYH, I would like to develop my brain capacities, to be able to feel things without using the language of words and body. I would like to be able to decode the thoughts of the people around me, to be able to unravel and soothe their suffering linked to the past and the stress of the future, to be able to erase regrets that can torture more than one.
What if you had a magic wand?
If I had a magic wand, I would be the most powerful person! However, I don't know if I would dare to use it for fear that someone would take this power away from me, haha! Human beings are selfish and act for themselves, so I can't imagine what would happen. However, if I could redefine our future, or mine, I would like more justice, equality, fairness, transparency. To erase this concept of money and make humans wiser.
Never give up on... What would you say to your best friend or your child?
That's a good question. I'm not one to tell others what to do or what to think, but based on my experience, perhaps I would tell them to never give up on the love that's within reach. Love is inexplicable, indescribable, and it brings so many incredible things into our lives.
The best?
The experience I am most proud of is seeing myself grow and developing the ability to step back and forgive and accept what may have caused me pain in the past.
