Anyone want hobbies they can't have?

I've been wanting to skate for years but can't afford a skateboard. I've also been wanting to play the banjo but can't afford one. I've been wanting to make arrowheads for years but I can't find the rocks for it anywhere. I've been wanting to animate but it's really hard on a phone and I've tried many ways. I've been wanting to make funny videos, like skit stuff, but I have nowhere to do it and I'm ugly and have no friends. It really sucks not being able to do what I want and what I feel makes me, me. Does that make sense? How do you keep your sense of self if you can't be yourself really? I just dream all day. I'm not able to get a job yet. I might be able to after my birthday but I'll be in school so many don't like to hire students. Only thing I can do that feels like myself is drawing and watching YouTube. I used to game but my mom took away my Xbox and in turn it feels like she took a part of my identity away. This isn't meant to be a vent, I'm just wondering how others cope with it and sharing my story.

in the past i craved the talent to play the violin, but once i got it i realized that i have absolutely no time to practice, take a violin class, or even the interest anymore to play it. afterall it's basically the hardest instrument to learn :(

you're still young don't worry too much about material things. they come to you with age and you get more and more recourses and opportunities. with time AND dedication, learning something new, picking up a new hobby, it will come easy.

eu realmente adoraria andar de skate, mas além de não ter dinheiro sou extremamente timida para ir até uma pista de skate e treinar lá. na verdade eu sei andar de skate, bom eu tento. não faz muito tempo eu fui até a casa de uma amiga minha que mora em condomínio e ela tem skate então como ela sabia que eu queria aprender a andar de skate ela resolveu me ensinar. eu consegui aprender a andar um pouco, mas só andar por 3 metros ou 2 nem dobrar eu consegui aprender. eu também estou um pouco afim de aprender a tocar bateria mas estou tentando enterrar esta ideia.
