there's an interaction i see a lot online and in real life where one person goes "i wish i could draw / write / read books / engage with a hobby / etc" and someone else goes "just do it! practice! talent is fake, anybody can do it!"

and that's not wrong! but i feel that it's missing the point. generally what's being communicated is not "i wish i magically had this skill without putting in the effort" (well, maybe on an emotional level) but actually "i wish i had the time, energy, tools, and support to acquire this skill." and that's not something that can really be helped by the somewhat patronizing encouragement to "just do it now anyway!!"

I was literally too weak and frail to hold a book. There's a reason I couldn't really read more while I was in the hospital.
