Remember, a classic is something that everybody wants to have read and nobody wants to read. Spending time with family/relatives/friends is something that everybody wants to have done and nobody wants to do. Hard work is something that everybody wants to have done and nobody wants to do. Don't be afraid to just do what makes you feel good (unless it causes others significant trouble), regardless of what some sacred social convention dictates.

Remember also that the grass is always less brown on the other side. The moment you entertain the thought that some other situation would be better, you suffer. If you think some choice you made in the past was a bad one, it might be because you've only seen the consequences of the one option you chose. The other options might have been just as bad.

It's already hard enough to stay sane here on planet shithole without romanticizing Things As They Aren't.
