Well you might want to look at the tenets of stoicism, since you're paraphrasing one of them.

31 tabs it is.

It started with my MIL talking about how much she missed her children being babies, that you don’t appreciate it at the time but eventually you’ll wish you could go back.

I’m not great at doing things for enjoyment but I am very motivated when it comes to avoiding regret, my brain went and twisted the idea into something a tad more morbid. Not for everyone but I find it very effective

I imagine 31 tabs is nothing new for you. You sound like you have a thoughtful and inquisitive soul. Regerts are a great thing to avoid as long as you don't regret what you avoided or society's standards don't change to make you retro-regret.

Yes, some might consider your post needing a trigger warning, but the intent couldn't be clearer that you only wish to help others with a piece of wisdom that helped you.
