Would’ve grabbed a mattress and slid down the stairs 😂

I think that she wasn’t ready to face the outside world. She was too broken and too scared to go out there. That’s how I felt reading it

Cos then would have had 4000 to walk down and 10000 back up again, so did 6000 instead of 14000

I was talking to my husband about this. I was like I would’ve just brought a backpack with some snacks and a blanket when you get tired just take a nap then try again later 😂

I can tell from these comments, who did and who did not, truly understand Nesta. 🥺🥺

Personally I would throw myself back down due to laziness

I think that you guys greatly misunderstand the steps. Its not once you walk down the steps you CAN return to the world, its once you walk down the steps you HAVE to. Have to deal with people and the world

I think it’s because she wasn’t ready to go down yet. I think she was scared to give herself that freedom.

She didn’t feel like she deserved the reward of climbing down. She was punishing her self to go back up

I always read it as 1 step forward 2 steps back. She over came a mental hurdle and wasn’t prepared to handle the rest. So she went back to her own safely. She knows she capable but she just needs the courage and determination to do it. She just wasn’t ready yet

the stairs represent her healing journey

because she had to go back up. and she wasn't ready to face that (metaphorically who she would become) return journey.

easier to walk back up than to walk down and face everything and everyone 🖤

Sami Jo :
She just didn’t want to go down all the way, she thought she wanted too, but like, spiritually(that’s the best way I can describe it) 4000 steps felt much heavier than just going back up ❤️

Because she isn’t actually healed enough to leave, she needs to be there and deep down and she knows that.

Nesta is stubborn. She was on her healing journey even though she didn’t want to at first. What she wants most is to prove everyone wrong. She excels when she does things out of spite.

Remember they’re in a spiral and also about a foot high each step. So I genuinely think walking up is easier than walking down those specific steps

IvoryGrace-Author :
Ever heard the saying, 'one step forward, two steps back'? Or how about 'better the devil you know'? She wasn't ready. That's why. It wasn't the physical. It was the mental. She didn't think she could do it. She didn't think she was worth it.

I get this is not a serious post, but am I the only one who totally understands it?😭 I once walked up and then down around 800 steps (very narrow and spiral) with no training. Going up was more difficult for my muscles and breathing (i was dying when I got to the top lol) but going down was horrible, in a spiral staircase your head just starts spinning and you feel like falling and throwing up, so I totally get Nesta backing up and going back up😭 (I also think SJM didn't really think it through when she decided to put 10,000 steps)

because 6 000 is less than 14 000..? she can't fly, she would have to come all the way back

Sarah Jane Germaine :
This is a great question actually. Maybe because once she got down, she would have to climb up 10k steps to get back? Unless someone is kind enough to winnow or fly her back up.
