Regret

A regret story isn't about guilt it's about what could've been.
The goal isn't to dwell in the past, but to show what it taught you.
It's not about shaming yourself. It's about honoring what you've learned the hard way.

Start not from acceptance, but from ache:

• What's the choice you wish you could redo?
• What words were left unsaid and what did that cost you?
• What version of yourself do you now see with tenderness but too late?
• What did regret teach you that nothing else could?

Best formats:

• Black screen with voice-over / Slow re-enactment with no dialogue
• Letter to your younger self / Caption-driven montage
• Use silence as a tool /let the pause speak louder than the words
• Build a timeline where the moment of regret is the hinge: before vs after
