First one My last two weeks off.

At first, as always, I planned thousands of things to do, but when the two weeks of vacation finished, I noticed that I haven’t done practically nothing, I was extremely disappointed with myself because of this, I felt "useless"; But now, as I remember, I realize just how productive it was! I got rest, which is undoubtedly important; I loved being with myself; I have read the books and fanfics that I like best, besides watching movies; I finished my story the way that I wanted it and started another, which came from nowhere, in a lapse of idea; I also developed my writing and had wonderful ideas that, in the near future, I hope to put them on paper. However, I have to admit that Not always a bed of roses, after all I had to go to the dentist countless times (which I sucked because I wanted to be alone at home), as I said before, I haven’t done to much stuffs like I was expecting to do, my vacation was filled with an existential crisis, but I had had so many times that I almost got used to it.

This was my holiday.

At first, as usual, I planned thousands of things to do, but when the two weeks of vacation were over, I realised that I had done almost nothing. I was extremely disappointed with myself, and felt "useless". But now, as I look back, I realize just how productive It actually was! I got to rest, which is undoubtedly important, I enjoyed the time spent alone, and I read the books and fanfics that I liked best. Besides watching movies, I finished my story and started another, which seemed to come from nowhere, when I was suddenly struck by an idea. I also developed my writing and had wonderful ideas that, in the near future, I hope to put down on paper. However, I have to admit that it is not always a bed of roses, after all, I had to go to the dentist numerous times (which sucked because I wanted to be alone at home). And as I said before, I didn't do all the stuff I had planned on doing. My vacation was marked by an existential crisis, but I had experienced this feeling so many times before that I was almost used to it*.

This was my holiday.

*I tried to correct this sentence to make it grammatically correct, but I can't help but feel that this is not what you were trying to say. Existential crisis means 'a moment at which an individual questions the very foundations of their life: whether this life has any meaning, purpose or value.' If this is what you meant, then you can just ignore this message.
