The Woman I Wanted to Be

In all of these examples, we’re expressing a direct desire to do something. The implication when using “I want to” means that the event hasn’t passed yet, and we’re hoping to do it with you at some future point. I opened the envelope with my grades, and I have passed. Yes, I have but the grades were much worse than my predicted grades before all of the struggles affected my life.

Finally, let’s look through some synonyms and alternatives of the two phrases. If you’re not happy with the differences and struggle to wrap your head around them, you can use one of these instead until you become more confident.And never, ever lie about your age. Who can lie with the Internet anyway? To embrace your age is to embrace your life. Lying about your age, or about anything for that matter, is the beginning of trouble; it is the beginning of lying about who you are. What is important is to live fully every single day of every period of every age so that no time gets wasted." So much potential in you… and two warring sides. Both houses would suit you, yet lead you down two very different paths…” That’s why it’s good to ask yourself the question: How do I become the person I want to be? You may have spent a lot of time isolating yourself from your inner voice. Thus, you need to start listening to yourself again. Only then can you start the transformation process. A path where you don’t try to make a new you but rather you allow the real you to emerge, the one you’ve silenced for so long. You’ll be in Slytherin with me, of course.” Severus smiled for the first time. Sirius had already been dreading going to Slytherin, filled with family friends who he actually hated. If this git was going to be sharing a dorm with him, maybe he’d have been better off just staying at Grimmauld Place. You also don’t need to include the second clause at anytime.

Becoming your ideal person, achieving your dream life, and being able to show those personality traits you long for requires an internal transformation. It’s a process where you change little by little to allow the best version of yourself to come out. It involves the ability to gradually reach what you want to achieve. It’s where you don’t give up, but rather continue to work towards your dream each day.

However, I feel that none of those answers contribute good examples of which context you would use each in. I think this is what makes them the most different—the fact that "would like" sounds more polite in certain contexts, in many of which "want" isn't quite appropriate. They are almost the same usually. Most of the time, "would like to" sounds more calm and fancy to me. For example Sirius stared at what he could see off the Great Hall under the hat. He looked to Narcissa, watching him expectantly, Malfoy next to her, looking at him with a greedy expression on his face. He saw Avery, in his second year, smirking at him. He’d made Regulus cry last year. He saw the Carrow twins in their fifth year, they’d called Andy a bitch at the Christmas Ball three years ago.
