It is what it is !



Watching a video on tiktok for a woman who was trying to climb electrical stairs while the stairs are goinh down brought a powerful memory in me!

I just remembered when i was 7 or 8 years old and just did the same "climbed up an electrical down going stairs then climbed down upgoing one"

I remembered that my mother never told me about anything "impossible"

I asked her couldnt we go the opposite way of these stairs and her answer was that it would give me an i jury " which happened of course "

I remembered the reason behind climbing these stairs its opposite direction and it was "my father" in a weekend, trying to leave us with cruelty covering under going to work

He took the up stairs fastly and i climbed the goig down stairs to be faster than him and yay i did it faster than him despite of falling multiple times

But !

He ran down and i couldnt go fast on the electric down stairs because it was scary to me so i went down on the electric upstairs with zero fear and again yay i made it faster than him despite all the danger of climbing an electric stairs on its opposite direction

Despite all of that, at the end he left anyway and it was friday and took the next metro and we ' me, my brother, my mother and her anunt' had to go home.

I remembered how my mother brought me up being able to do anything no matter what!

Also how my father has been cruel to us

As well as how my effort ended up !
