I feel you. What instruments do you have? What instruments do you wish you had?
I'm a drummer primarily, drums are the one I can kinda play. I also have a guitar I suck at, a bass I suck worse at, a violin I probably don't remember how to play at all at this point, and a flute and a keyboard I'm just atrocious with.
I kinda wish I had a harp and a trumpet too, but I know there's no chance I'd actually find the time and energy learn them.
I think it is more important that you cared for them enough to try. Most people don't even give it a shot. In an ideal world we would have enough time to learn to play, at least for self satisfaction.
Among the few instruments I have, I feel most proud about assembling what is called Jaltarang. I've been able to get a full octave plus half on each side which enables me to play few tunes. I suck hard at it too but just the act of setting it up and getting it in tune is satisfying on its own.
If you are curious about how it sounds when played by someone good at it, watch this.
