I have Kardashian-Jenner burnout and I’m not going to watch the new season on Hulu. I usually would be curious and watch, but I’m so tired of them. They are everywhere.

My New Year’s resolution is to stop consuming self-help and optimization content

I’ve been thinking recently how the current culture has placed an overemphasis on diet and exercise to achieve happiness, which is basically like prioritizing water to become a good singer. Water is a basic prerequisite for singing in order to have well-hydrated vocal cords.

I was reflecting on specific times in my life when strangers have been mean to me and wondered if they would act that way if I were an old lady. I thought, no they probably wouldn’t be mean and it made me wish I were an old lady lol

If you’re moving and need to get all new furniture and household items, I would highly recommend not using Amazon and purchasing in person if you can. I placed 94 orders on Amazon in the past three months and it destroyed my executive function. It took me over a month to get back on my routine 😪

When I was doing my at-home workout just now, I thought to myself that complaining that you can’t work out because you can’t afford a gym membership is like complaining that you can’t do your homework because you have to do it at the library lol

I have a theory that people are gonna look back on this time in history as the smartphone dark ages, where people allowed tech companies to have total control over their attention 🧐

Lila Lang | Portland/PNW @lilalang.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

I came across Chloe vs history on YouTube and thought wow, all of this technological advancement to create fake people with fake texture on their skin, when you could just hire actors to pretend that they’re traveling back in time to go on the Titanic? It seems largely unnecessary.

I was walking my dog, and this guy stopped me and asked how old I was and when I told him, he acted all wide-eyed and shocked. I thought you’re not supposed to ask a woman how old she is? I guess he was just asking because I look young and wanted to make sure that I’m old enough but still….ugh

What is with inconsiderate neighbors, and loving to blast the song last night by Morgan Wallen through the shared walls….

I just discovered that I’m literally lucky to be alive right now. A few years ago I was in a T-bone car accident that crumpled the whole left side of my car and if I were driving a car just a few years older, it is significantly more likely that I would’ve been severely injured or died 😳

I tried to find cute wall art online to decorate my new place, but everything I saw looked generic and mass produced so I decided to just download free art from the public domain and print it out lol

I just arrived at my new unit. The property manager thought we were meeting tomorrow, and I cannot locate the lockbox that she spoke of. Perfect 👌

Lila Lang | Portland/PNW @lilalang.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

I waited to hear back from the property manager to start packing, which was a huge mistake. I’ve been soooo busy taking care of moving related things these past six days. I don’t even have furniture, and packing everything took so long… WTF? I will start packing multiple weeks in advance next time

000

Lila Lang | Portland/PNW @lilalang.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

I’m in the middle of packing for my move and I found this giant bag of cute clothes from years ago that I completely forgot about OMG what is wrong with me? I thought I had no clothes, but I have so many cute stuff lol

Guys in the ig dm’s are the biggest time wasters OMG. All they do is blab and not book.

Officially moving to Portland on July 16 🥳

I swear if I hear one more client make it seem like me not having an incall is the biggest inconvenience in the world I’m going to punch someone. Somebody just told me that they were just in Scottsdale and wish they saw me, but I don’t have an in call. Have these people never heard of hotels? 🤔

I don’t f with the ppl who work in Silicon Valley. What do you mean a yearly subscription to the Calm app is $80 when anyone can meditate for free? And mind you non-guided meditation is better than guided meditation anyways. And the fact that I used to pay for that subscription years ago 🤦🏻‍♀️

Lila Lang | Portland/PNW @lilalang.bsky.social · 06/07/2026

A woman asked if I needed help finding something today and called me Mija. Idk why but I love being called that lol it’s so sweet

Lila Lang | Portland/PNW @lilalang.bsky.social · 05/07/2026

I tried creating an X account yesterday but I guess I followed too many people at once (79?) and immediately got suppressed. Love learning all these new rules 🥴

Currently in Scottsdale 🏜️ Moving to Portland July 16 🌲

What I’ve learned from sleep restriction therapy: you don’t need blackout curtains and you don’t need to buy an expensive mattress. You just need to wake up at the same damn time every single day (and no naps)

Lila Lang | Portland/PNW @lilalang.bsky.social · 03/07/2026

Currently braving the Scottsdale heat 🥵. About to move to Portland late this month! 🌲

Challenge yourself to not use AI, or even look things up on the internet throughout the day. Save that stuff for evening time. It will help strengthen your problem-solving skills and fight against learned helplessness.

Lila Lang | Portland/PNW @lilalang.bsky.social · 02/07/2026

When I was a kid, I thought I was so lucky to be born in my era instead of the pre-industrial revolution. Now, I’m jealous of the people who lived back then. All the food they ate was unprocessed, there was no junk food temptation, and their brains weren’t being destroyed by constant media.

She has secrets that you’ll never know 👀 Currently in Scottsdale, about to pack for Portland real soon!

I’ve been on spironolactone for a couple of months and my skin is the clearest it has been in my entire adult life, but now I have to pee all the time 😫. Still worth it though.

030

Lila Lang | Portland/PNW @lilalang.bsky.social · 01/07/2026

Been trying really hard to un-AI myself lately. Been writing my own emails and tweets and everything 😭. I hate how they embedded AI into everything now. So unnecessary.

Lila Lang | Portland/PNW @lilalang.bsky.social · 01/07/2026

I’ve gotten into stoic philosophy recently, which means I will probably be thinking about the Roman empire quite often lol

020

Lila Lang | Portland/PNW @lilalang.bsky.social · 01/07/2026

Now that I have a strict 30 minute screen time limit with AI, I’m more intentional with how I use it so I don’t waste any of my time. And that reminded me of the concept of Memento Mori. When you keep reminding yourself that life is temporary, you are more intentional with the way you spend it.

Lila Lang | Portland/PNW @lilalang.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

Just a reminder for people who struggle with using AI too much: Rome was built without AI. You don’t need it.

I think dogs are happier than humans because they’re living in the default mode network all the time lol

Lila Lang | Portland/PNW @lilalang.bsky.social · 28/06/2026

When my dog can tell that I’m annoyed or upset he will come over to me and try to lick my face to calm me down. But when I’m crying or sad he really doesn’t give af lol

Lila Lang | Portland/PNW @lilalang.bsky.social · 27/06/2026

Now that I don’t have an incall while I’m in Arizona, it’s really something when a guy is emailing me and decides he can’t see me anymore bc I don’t have an incall available. Is it really that inconvenient to book an affordable hotel? If you can’t do that, then you don’t really want to see me 🙄

130

Lila Lang | Portland/PNW @lilalang.bsky.social · 27/06/2026

Still amazed that some clients treat me like a pizza delivery service. No I cannot see you in less than two hours when you haven’t even provided me with any screening info yet 🙄

Lila Lang | Portland/PNW @lilalang.bsky.social · 24/06/2026

I’m on week two of my sleep restriction therapy protocol, giving myself six hours and 15 minutes in bed this week and my sleep deprivation was so bad today that I think I fell asleep for a minute or two while cradling my dog and sitting upright. How is that even possible 😭

010

Lila Lang | Portland/PNW @lilalang.bsky.social · 23/06/2026

I’ve been watching too many videos on YouTube of historical photos of young people being brought to life and I was thinking how they basically look like us just different clothing and hairstyles and I have to stop watching it because I’m having an existential crisis 😭

Arthur Brooks is my new Bryan Johnson. I won’t be elaborating further.

The 9 to 5 schedule was created during the industrial revolution based on a false assumption that people have the most energy during daylight hours. The reality is, energy is not like a battery that gets drained. People experience energy throughout the day in waves.

Lila Lang | Portland/PNW @lilalang.bsky.social · 18/06/2026

Why did nobody tell me that waking up at the same time every day is way more important than getting 8 hours of sleep? I only slept 5 hours last night but because I’m on sleep restriction therapy, I got 1 hour & 40 minutes of deep sleep, which is way more than I ever got when I spent 8 hours in bed.

Lila Lang | Portland/PNW @lilalang.bsky.social · 17/06/2026

I abandoned my meditation practice for a while after I started focusing on my workout routine, but I recently implemented it back into my life. And I’m so grateful I did. I took it for granted and regret ever quitting. My logical brain is back online again now that I’ve resumed the practice.

For anyone who’s into digital minimalism: don’t waste your money on Opal or Brick. Ask a friend/family member to change your Screen Time passcode for you. My Screen Time has been reduced by at least 50% and I feel more clearheaded.

Lila Lang | Portland/PNW @lilalang.bsky.social · 16/06/2026

I don't understand why some people think waking up super early will result in a more productive day. If you wake up early, you have to go to bed earlier. So either way you still get the same amount of hours in the day...

Just discovered that clinical trials were halted on male hormonal birth control because 3% of men reported depression symptoms. Meanwhile, 10% to 30% of women report depression and severe emotional blunting on the pill, and mainstream medicine tells us it’s an "acceptable trade-off." 😒

120

Lila Lang | Portland/PNW @lilalang.bsky.social · 12/06/2026

Been struggling with insomnia lately and just started sleep restriction therapy. I just had a thought to myself, why is it so easy for me to accidentally fall asleep in the middle of the day, and yet, I never happen to accidentally fall asleep at my bedtime? Not fair.

030

Lila Lang | Portland/PNW @lilalang.bsky.social · 04/06/2026

I recently decided to stop taking the pill because I discovered that it flattens chemicals in your brain associated with emotional processing, leading to emotional blunting. This isn’t even a potential side effect that happens to some people, it’s literally its mechanism of action.

Lila Lang | Portland/PNW @lilalang.bsky.social · 31/05/2026

Living in the hottest city in America with a person who doesn’t let me use the ac is a different kind of torture. Can’t wait to move to Portland. I can’t stand the heat 😫
