my lack of art explained

General
hi guys, anyone who has been following me for a while knows that i seem to add some art every so often and then disappear for months on end, well this is where i'm going to explain why.
there are a few reasons, first and foremost would be my homelife in general, for nine years until recently, i lived with my dad and stepmom, my dad was generally fine, though he admittedly didn't do much because he works nights and spends most of the day sleeping, the real issue was alway my stepmom, she would force me to spend every moment i wasn't out of the house doing chores around it, varying from simple tasks like hoovering to more complex ones like dusting every inch of a room filled with small ornaments. so i could barely get an hours peace, let alone time to actually sit down and draw something, recently though, i've moved out from there and am currently living with my mum and stepdad, who are both much better and understanding.
another reason, related to the first was time i had available between chores, work and other things, pretty much it boiled down to "i can either draw something or settle down and relax" i often choose relax because i rarely got to.
lack of confidence would probably be the third reason, i see these amazing images on here done by other artists and think, i could never achieve that level of skill, why bother trying...
but now, living in a better place, having tons of more free time and realising that i may yet reach said skill levels, i'm going to be doing alot more art in the future, so here's to the future and doing better than yesterday
