Everything can be taken from a person but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances.
Viktor Frankl
You owe someone something that cannot be paid back in money, and the weight of it changes how you move through rooms where that person might be mentioned. This kind of debt accumulates interest differently than the financial kind. It grows heavier not because time passes, but because you keep adding to it with small acts of avoidance, each dodge making the eventual conversation harder to begin. What you borrowed was trust, or time, or the benefit of someone's doubt, and what you can pay back is the awkward work of naming what happened and why it happened. The freedom Frankl writes about lives in that choice to turn toward the conversation instead of away from it.
