I never mentioned anything about disadvantages because it should be self evident that if you are at a disadvantage for X reason you're gonna have a bad time.

I myself have essential tremor. My muscles shake significantly when they are engaged. Trust me I know what its like to dig out of a hole when almost everyone else is standing on level ground to begin with.

Talent implies that people are born already being multiple chapters ahead of their peers in their skill refinement story. That's just simply not true and believing that does nothing but perpetuate "woe is me" attitudes.

Practice is what digs you out of the hole. Someone could have all the supposed talent in the world but if they don't practice and learn they won't be able to keep up. Practice is all that matters.

I bet your photography is a lot better than you give yourself credit for. Everyone is their own harshest critic. You might be sitting on photos that some people would think are gold. I hope you're sharing them even if you think they're not so hot.
