Reconciliation

A self-reconciliation story isn't about becoming someone new it's about finally accepting who you've always been.
The goal isn't to show transformation through effort, but healing through understanding.
It's about forgiving the parts of yourself you used to hate.

Start not from peace, but from conflict:

• What part of yourself have you been at war with for years?
• What version of you have you tried to silence, hide, or outgrow?
• What belief about yourself did you inherit and how did it hurt you?
• What moment made you realize you could stop fighting, and start listening?

Best formats:

Quiet monologue / Voice-over letters to your past self / Minimal visuals + ambient sound / Two versions of "you" in dialogue

Use the internal tension as the plot: Self vs Self.
Or structure it as a letter: "To the part of me I used to resent..."
