"I want the confidence to be everything I never thought I was... I wanna be everything I never was."  People, in my experience, want more than they have. Some people are dissatisfied with their current situation and wish for more. Despite the fact that we have completed or achieved our goals, we are continually striving to improve. What we have in life is insufficient, and longing for more is not a negative thing because it provides us with several opportunities to better.

"I want the confidence to be everything I never thought I was...I wanna be everything I never was." In the video, she wrote a poem about wanting something she always wanted to do. she is expressing herself that she wanted that confidence to help with her wants. that she wanted courage of doing the things she never thought of doing, this is a good line that has deep meaning because nowadays people are scared to try new things or do things they want to do but scared due to peoples judgment. there will come a time whereas you grow old you will regret the things you wanted to do but never did due to the lack of confidence you have. This is a message to everyone that it takes confidence to do the thing they want to do. I can relate to this because my parents are they never understand how I was feeling but then my friends help me and I had the confidence to talk to my parents and we were able to understand each other.

"I want the confidence to be everything I never thought I was... I wanna be everything I never was."

From my understanding, these lines was said to voice out the speaker's feelings. Which is underestimating herself before. This statement is about how as time passes, you'll look back and think about the things you didn't do and regret it. There are things we were scared of doing before, and we might regret underestimating ourselves and not do that particular thing. But maybe we should do the things we're scared of most, because it might be the best thing that will ever happen to us. With that, we should always remember that anything is possible if we believe we can do it.

Like Maia and many others, I want to do a lot of stuff, I am imperfect and incapable. I want to be able to type out my ideas without opening Google and searching synonyms. I want to listen better, write better, and just be a jack of all trades, master of everything. I wanted to be perfect and valuing myself below perfect is awful. It may be silly to think so because a perfect human cannot exist. Wanting to be perfect is not wrong, wanting to be everything is not wrong, wanting to be everything you thought you never were is not wrong because maybe that is what’s keeping us alive. Or maybe I could be everything because of my Growth Mindset. - Carl Castro

The statement defines who I am as a person. I have a lot of insecurities and regrets throughout my life, which I could've faced if only I had the strength and the confidence to do so. I want to be enough not just to my friends or my family but for myself. The only limit to our goals in life is ourselves, our doubts, our struggles. However, as I grow older, I began to realize that we should never let the fear of failure stop us from who we want to be and what we want to do.  We must never look down on ourselves and believe on what we can do and what we can contribute to the world. You never know, one day you would be the change that the world needs, but first you must learn to change yourself and be the better version of you.

"I want the confidence to be everything I never thought I was. I wanna be everything I never was." In my understanding from the poem, I believe that we all shouldn't be afraid of trying to do the things that we desire and wish to do, instead of doubting ourselves and thinking that I couldn't do this or I couldn't do that, we all should have more faith in ourselves and be more confident because anything is possible when you believe. No matter how hard or difficult the situation is, we would always get better at it and improve more. I  relate to this a lot because all my life I've always envied and compared myself to other people thinking that why can't I be  good as them but I always try my best to think otherwise and just stay positive with everything I do.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion it says a lot about how insecurities affects a person. One can dream to do something and be someone, but most of the time people lacks the confidence. They stop before they even try to do things they want to do. They don't believe in themselves and what they are capable of, they think there are limits on what they can do and achieve. I am in that situation right now, with the pressure of choosing a course and career. I'm confused because I don't have confidence in myself. When I think of what path to choose I get ahead and will imagine myself already failing. If I'm being honest, I still have no idea on what to do but I will be working harder on figuring out what I want and what I want to be. Lastly, I want to find my confidence and really believe in myself.

Based on my experience, we always want more than what we currently have. It is a human desire to be complete, to aspire things beyond our reach. We always want to be better, even when we reach our goals sometimes it still isn’t enough. In the end, wanting more creates possibilities that can make the world a better place.  - Leighton Legita

"I want the confidence to be everything I thought I never was... I want to be everything I never was."

The lines indicate the speaker's strong ambition and desire to achieve everything that there is to offer to feel satisfied with one's self. But also coming to terms with how this may be an unrealistic standard.

As someone who's driven by my own ambition as well, the poem resonated with me. I find that I am interested in trying new things and go for every goal I have, jumping at every possible opportunity that I believe would be of more benefit to myself in the future. I try my best to be good at everything, but eventually I find that I always feel a tinge of dread - overthinking and preparing for the worst, but somehow still getting upset when things do not turn out the way I would have hoped. In the end, I understood two things.

That I have my own strengths and weaknesses, which defines what may considered easier or more difficult for me, and that it is truly worth investing time in something you want to improve at.

These lines are, in my opinion, the epitome of what it means to be alive as a human being. Us humans want a sense of purpose; we want to be this, we want to be that, we want to be better than them, we want to be on top. But really, the only way that we could be something that we want, is to strive and work hard for it. As someone who was always pressured to be good at something while growing up, I was always hard on myself, thinking that I should be better than everyone at everything, seeking validation and praise from people around me, and comparing myself to others. I achieved a lot of things, but I ignored my mental health in the long run, which now, I realized that it destroyed me more than not being enough for my parents and for everyone who expects so much out of me. Now that I'm older, it made me realize as well that I don't NEED to be enough for other people, but the important thing is that I am enough for myself, that I love and accept myself even though I am not everything I want to be right now. We all want to be a better version of ourselves, but it's important to know your own limitations and boundaries. "I wanna be everything I never was" this line was my mindset before, but now, I am confident that I can achieve who I want to be and more. It just takes time, patience and hard work to get there, and that everyone improves and changes in their own pace.

in my personal view, the lines " i want the confidence to be everything i never thought i was, i wanna be everything i never was" means that i could be something i always was afraid of trying. in the way i could relate this to a personal experience, i was always afraid of getting in to art because i always see my drawings as bad, or i didnt want to be a singer because i didnt like how my voice sounded like. but i wish i had the confidence to get out of the comfort zone and try these things out, improve and be the best at it. growth mindset for the win

"I want the confidence to be everything I never thought I was. I wanna be everything I never was." In my understanding, this line from the poem represents a human's desire to be better. Our desire to be able to do things far beyond our current capabilities. It shows how we are never satisfied with what we have, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. I understood this a a motivation to achieve my goals. I can relate to this because there are many things I want to do, but never had the confidence to actually push through with it. Her poem gave me the mindset that accomplishing these goals are possible.

“I want the confidence to be everything I never thought I was… I wanna be everything I never was” From the lines of Maia Mayor, she expressed one’s cunning desires. We may seek more from what we have. We may feel the need to do more from what we are capable of doing, and that’s okay. We, individuals seek to improve our drive and be flexible in overcoming and adapting to certain situations. I, myself try my best to overachieve and be someone who wanted to be everything. I still find situations hard. And as a student, I adjust and strive to do better because I know to myself that I'm still growing. Growing to be the person who shall realize her flaws, realize her beliefs, realize her choices, and realize her past. This "version" of Pevie may not be confident as to how she sounds now, but I hope she still realizes that she is good enough to be and do what she desires. Change is inevitable. As an affirmation: I have so much confidence in myself because I trust myself and my capabilities nevertheless. Yet, through that phase, I have learned that it is okay to try and seek the best, but we should never forget to remain humble. Not for other people, but for yourself.

People strive to improve. They all yearn to be the best version of themselves, and that includes me. The lines that were said show the inner thoughts of every individual that's working hard to achieve their goals. Every person has this idea of being able to show absolute confidence in their respective field of expertise, hobby, or even something they are bad at. In my case, I've never once considered myself to be great at something, even if that something is something that I've spent hours and hours on. Although some might say that this has a negative effect such as discouragement, but to me, this is a good way of letting myself know that there is no ending to learning. I believe that with time and practice, I will be able to become someone I desire to be, someone that the past me would look up to. (Alvin Ang)

From the poem, I think that these lines signify our eagerness and desire to be a version of ourselves that we could not be. Relating it to my own experiences, it reminds me of my ambitions, dreams, and all the things that I want to be in life. These ambitions of mine may motivate me but at the same time I compare my progress to others and it makes me feel that I am not doing enough to achieve them. Often, we don't truly see how we are clouded by our own desires and goals to be that perfect version of ourselves. From my experiences, I would feel that I didn't have the courage and the skills to reach my goals. I would think that my efforts and what I am now may not be enough. But now I realize that some things take time, even if we feel that we are far from achieving our dreams we must keep an optimistic view in life and keep going.

# data[].attributes.body
The line talks about how we’re never satisfied with what we are, yet are not assertive enough to make ourselves what we want to be. We always want to be everything we’re not and have qualities that we see others possess but we, ourselves, don’t. I can relate this verse to my experiences as a student because seeing others perform better than me in academics makes me want to improve myself as a student. But at the same time, struggle to be participative in classes and be productive. It’s easy to want to be things but it’s hard to make a change in one’s self. That being said, growing is a process and I can't achieve everything I want all at the same time. Working hard to be what I want is part of that process and I am aware that it will take time and errors. In the meantime, I will work on my confidence and positivity towards reaching my goals and being what I want to be in the future.

# data[].attributes.body
As a person who dreams big, there are numerous things I want to achieve. From the simple things in life to the utmost peaks of the tallest mountains. So many dreams and ambitions yet I have not achieved them. The passage meant that even if you have envisioned what you want to become in the future but you don’t have the confidence in yourself that you will attain it then you will just stand there waiting for something to come from nothing. Even if you want everything, not all those things can be yours. These ambitions cannot fill your empty void until you realize what is enough for you.

By watching the video, I was able to decipher that the classic slam is about conforming to a high standard norm. In her final words, she mentioned the line "I want the confidence to be everything I never thought I was...I wanna be everything I never was." As humans, we have diverse fears, which, in my opinion, causes conflict with the person we desire to be. With the famous line of "Go outside your comfort zone" just shows that this phrase is well-known because it usually results to growth.

I have always heard other people say that in most times, the one that limits us the most is our imagination. In my opinion, these lines correlate to the saying that wanting confidence is to be everything that they never thought they were. I once had this experience of worrying about other people's perception of me and it has been a part of my concerns for so long that I didn't notice it was hindering me from developing my confidence. Confidence may be a minute thing to have but it serves as a motivation that drives us to be better, to do better, and to see better. To have confidence is to not totally disregard other's opinions, but to balance and have trust in our own qualities and abilities to do stuff that no one might even expect us of, which not even us can comprehend. We, deep down, always wanted to be everything we never were. And we can, only us hinder ourselves.

"I wanna be everything I never was" When we see people who do things we cannot do, we tend to compare ourselves to them, mask our identity to be combinations of people we envy, we wanna be our version and society's version of perfect. Growing up, I wish someone had told me that I was a remarkable kid, it would've saved me the heartaches of questioning why I couldn't draw hello kitty the same way my seatmate drew it, or why that guy who looked so carefree got a 95 in maths when I only got an 83. The memories of being so young and afraid weigh heavy on my mind at night. It's like seeing the boogeyman I was so afraid of as a child, only this time, I don't see the shadows of a monster, I only see the shadows of my past. I wish someone told me I was a remarkable kid because it would've saved me the struggles of masking the oceans of sadness in my eyes at only 10 years old, but we can't help it, it's human nature to want to be perfect after all. At 16, I've already pushed past the boundaries of fearing what I can't do. I still see that young girl yearning to hear the words "you're doing great!" but I now choose to look past that. Instead, I look in the mirror and realize what a remarkable person I've become.

This phrase expresses a sense of desire and wanting. It portrays the things they aspire to become but are unable to do so due to obstacles. It depicts a person's thoughts as they work for their goals and ambitions. The desire to succeed in whatever they set their minds to. I've been thinking about these things for a long time. I have many objectives and aspirations that I want to accomplish, yet there are still many things that I am unable to achieve due to fear or shyness. Then someone approached me and helped me understand that I have to believe in myself to accomplish my dreams.

The lines presented in the poem show that as human beings we are bound to want to improve and better ourselves including our talents, skills, and capabilities. Additionally, the author of the poem wants to portray that it isn't bad to hope and be something more than you are now. There are a lot of things that I want to be in life whether it may be a journalist, a vlogger, a musician, a doctor, and more. These things seem to be unreachable, however, I believe that it isn't impossible. I can relate to the lines from the poem "I want to be" because as an individual I have dreams and aspirations of how I want to be perceived in the future and what I want to achieve. I have failed and felt disappointed a lot of times in my life making me feel like I wasn't good enough, but as time passed by I realized that I am good enough and I am just in the process of bettering myself. I may not have the confidence at this point in time although it is something that I am currently working on so that I can be everything I want to become.

Never be afraid to try new things and keep building that confidence so you can do anything that you've never tried before but you don't have to be everything
From my experience, I normally stuck with what I know and never really tried anything else, but I'm also hungry and interested to try more things that are outside
my zone such as things outside of video games like go-karting. I have my own limits on what I can do as a person but i just push it to the brink to achieve success and satisfaction

# data[].attributes.body
To me this means that I should have the confidence and determination in myself to improve and become a better person, better than I was before and strive for more. I never thought I could be considered a good person, just someone who reacts correctly given he situation. But if given the confidence and determination, I can strive to be a good person and strive for more and improve myself further that is what i think the line "I want the confidence to be everything I never thought I was...I wanna be everything I never was." means.

# data[].attributes.body
In my understanding of the said sentence, You can be anything you desire as long as you build up the courage and confidence in trying. Never assume the worse outcomes without trying first, the future may be scary but not giving a chance is worse. People as we all know could never be content with the result as “okay”, we strive and work hard to be the best versions of ourselves. I remember a time where I always get fearful in trying something new but was not content with what I have now, I realize that it was the lack of trust and confidence in myself that held me back and as of now, I’m finally taking risks and always staying positive in everything I do.

# data[].attributes.body
From my point of view, those lines mean that I can become everything I want to be as long as I have the confidence to try them. Pursuing to try something I was afraid of can allow me to gain confidence and discover myself better. Having fear in mind will only hinder my development. I must have faith and believe in myself that anything is possible if I put my mind to it. Based on my experiences, the fear only comes from being nervous about the current situation. Once you're ready or prepared, you'll gain the confidence to do anything. As the woman said in the video, she wants to do and be a lot of things. She can only do it once she has the confidence to be everything she never was. For me, her words show that with the right mindset, anything is possible and achievable.

# data[].attributes.body
For me the way I understand the line is that you should be more confident on what you do even if you think it is impossible you can be able to make it possible. I was never really confident in anything I do. But when I look to the people who I was close with I see that they know what they do and they achieve that with such confidence. Because not everyone is that confident and they admire the people who is around them who can be so confident on what they do even with their goals and their future. But with that it gave me the strength and realization that I also want to try things that what I think is impossible can eventually turn out to be possible after all since I keep myself positive and confident at all times.

I embodied it as the desire for development and inspiration. A desire that one wants to accomplish such skill confidently because it has been executed well by others; because they looked beautiful in executing such through the processes up until the end of the result. In my life, I have always been fond of music and the ways of the instruments, the guitar especially. When I was in grade school, my parents have granted me the opportunity to learn the guitar. I've listened, I've learned and unfortunately, I've lost. I've once had the confidence to learn the instrument again but I failed to learn it. Given the quote, one can accomplish anything you dream to be, just pursue it with full enthusiasm, hope, and confidence. Through the many years that I've been and will be, that spark of interest in music will always be there and maybe by then, I'd be able to master the guitar. The future is something everyone is afraid of, but it is only the result of what you can and did do of the present. So believe that you can and do it, you may be pleased to experience something that you could look back at and have mastered in the future.

# data[].attributes.body
To me, these lines mean that when we want to accomplish or be skilled at something, you always want to be confident that you wish that nervousness or limitations never exists, that there is always a way to learn everything you want. But sadly we can't accomplish or be skilled at everything, we have lapses, shortcomings, and limitations in life. But I guess its fine to have limitations, so that you can remain humble in life, and these lapses or limitations, we have is a great opportunity for me to help others on something that I can be skilled at.

For me, I think that the speaker wanted to express the feeling of wanting to be more than what we are capable of. The speaker wants to be perfect or challenge herself to be perfect or to be the ideal person in her mind and to do things she hasn't done. I can relate this to many experiences in my life, from as simple as cooking to bigger experiences. There are a lot of times where I want to be more than what I already am in the sense that I want to improve and be better for myself in a blink of an eye. But as time passes, I realized that things like this shouldn't be rushed at all because everything will fall into the right place at the right time.

# data[].attributes.body
In my interpretation of the poem, I think that the person wants to be confident and tackle on challenges they never would as it is disheartening to see others do better than them as many of us want to be much more than who they were yesterday. In inferring the poem, I looked into my own experiences of not being confident in trying out things that are unknown to me. I would rather run than attempt even though it could be poor. However, I also wish to be able to improve in other aspects with confidence just like what the poem tries to convey. ~ Rand

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion it meant that we wanted more than what we already have, which isn’t wrong. In the poem the woman stated, she said she wanted to master self-acceptance and love, but as humans, we’d always want more and more. I was once like this, a person who wanted to be everything he wasn’t. I learned, I tried, I failed, and I got back up, however I was never really satisfied with what I already had. This poem struck me because throughout my life I wanted to please others, I always wanted to know about their opinion about me, but now, I just want to be enough for myself. A wise person once said “You can be anything, but you don’t have to be everything.”

The phrase means that we can be whatever we want to be with our own way.  Doing what you think right now and when the time comes you can say to yourself that I’m glad I did it.  Based from my observation all of us have our own level of confidence. Having thoughts that I should did this before? I should have done this before? Why I did not do it?. I want to be everything I never was since we can’t change what we have done on the past it is not too late we can still be everything we want to be if we just do it now. To stop our agony from thinking that I should have done this, we can still be everything. I was also that person that wants to become everything we saw but time comes that I knew that I can’t be everything but I can still be everything with my own way. We just need to more confident to show who really you are, don’t be shy show the things you can and the things that you can’t because you can still do it and improve to those things.
