How to do art

I’ve been trying to learn art since childhood. And there were long periods of time when I dropped drawing, as I thought it wasn’t important. But I came back to drawing again and again. Also for a long period of time I was copying other artists arts (I didn’t post it) and because of it i struggle with drawing by myself now. I can’t say that I don’t have any skills in drawing but it’s not what I want . And now I don’t know what I should draw, how I should draw to get better so it want be a waste of time. I was advised to draw for fun, but what it means? Like, you draw what you want at the moment, and despite the result enjoy? But how can I get better by drawing like this? Also, I’m sorry for my English :’)
