Is there a name for the feeling when you all you want out of life is to hunker down and eat pizza and watch movies but you also want to break new ground in your profession but you also want to quit society to live in the woods but you also want to go explore the world forever

The "hyperindividualist escape" is one thing.

But conceding, and even condemning, the desire to have all the food(s) you enjoy, to become good at something, and to enjoy both the natural and man-made beauty of this planet as "white" activities is giving whiteness too much credit. The natural world is beautiful and has been populated by even more beatiful things despite whiteness. So hell yeah, I'd love to spend a lifetime getting to experience it firsthand, while eating my favorite foods and becoming good at something.

Whiteness drained and is still draining the life and riches out non-white people and places. Why the hell would you grant them an exclusive claim on any types of non-destructive fun too?

"Who gets to travel the world forever?" Yeah, and "who gets to vote and have land?" "Who gets to learn at university?" Don't just cede good shit to whiteness.
