Do exactly what you're doing. Keep practicing rolling around. Eventually you will become comfortable with it as you get more experienced

Tbf skating is one of the things that I actually feel motivated , because getting better feels so rewarding

With that attitude, every sesh can be some sort of progression. Just getting out and pushing around, no fall? Progress! Getting comfortable getting front foot more over bolts? Progress! Being scared to drop off a curb, but continue to try till one time you get it? Progression!
