Libra

The debt you carry that has nothing to do with money sits differently than the kind you can pay off in installments. You know exactly what you owe and to whom, but the currency keeps shifting depending on who is watching and what they expect from you. Sometimes you find yourself performing the payment in public while privately questioning whether the debt was ever real, or whether you agreed to terms that made sense to someone else's idea of what you should carry. The hardest part is not the owing but the measuring, when every gesture toward settling it feels both too much and not nearly enough.
