Occasionally find myself envying people with faith and wonder how my life is different than theirs.

The thing is, there’s nothing stopping you from having faith. But do keep in mind that you want to have faith in something that is not shitty.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falun_Gong this one seems nice. Promotes meditation, physical exercise, as well as peaceful civil involvement in society helping others and doing good, which will help you reach spiritual enlightenment.

So while I personally like and prefer having a yawning void where some other people have faith, I generally recommend this religion to people who prefer having faith. If this one isn’t to your liking, perhaps research what other non-shitty options are there.

And as a general pro tip when going with the faith option: please, no fanaticism.

Edit: I’ve read some more on this, and this religion has some shitty postulations too. Well, keep looking out.
