I wish I had even 1% of this talent, but my brain is perpetually starved of dopamine so I never have the drive pursue my hobbies. So I'm forced to get my dopamine from artificial sources. But then that eventually stops working too, which makes things even worse.

to accomplish a goal everyone needs two things, the desire, and the circumstances. Desire is internal, but circumstances are usually out of our control. It sounds like your circumstances are challenging. You might not be able to do what you wish you could, but you're still beautiful. I didn't know you, but I bet your tastes are killer
