> I feel a tinge of regret for not being more in the moment.

That’s not really something you control. In that moment you probably just wanted to escape for 5 minutes of blessed peace.

The weird part is the lag. You want to escape for 5 minutes. But you only want that now because you couldn't escape for years before. If you stopped to think about it, maybe you don't really want those five minutes. If only you stop and really think.

That requires stopping to think for five minutes, which you didn't have in the moment.
