Life is cooked

I'm 22, I have a job, and I'm always taking courses, reading, and trying to learn more. I still have to do an online master's and get more certifications because it feels like if I don't keep up, AI or someone else will replace me.

I'm honestly just sick and tired of it all.

I miss the days when I'd binge-watch anime, movies, web series, read novels, comics, and manga all night without worrying about my future.

I know I can't go back, and maybe it's just nostalgia, but it just doesn't feel fair.

How do you deal with the feeling that you always have to keep learning just to stay relevant without burning out? Have you found a balance between enjoying life and building your career?
