Ok, I might as well go first: I wish I could draw. Not at the level where I could make photorealistic portraits, but I've always been envious of those who are able to scetch something together in a few minutes that perfectly captures what they want to convey. Sometimes words aren't enough to express what I want to say, and for those situations I would love to have a simple drawing do the talking for me.

Woodworking, or any activity that involves crafting useful and/or beautiful things with my own two hands. I live in a flat so I lack space to do it, but the idea of using an object or a furniture everyday while knowing I actually made it from scratch is just so appealing to me

Same.

I took a few classes at a local wood shop that were very fun, maybe there’s a local shop you can buy a membership at or do courses with.

I’m now planning my home workshop and it’s expensive + space consuming, but I love doing it and making something tangible with just my hands.
