You love them, you love them not. It’s obvious that you don’t really know where you stand with the maybe-a-friend-maybe-not who flits in and out of your life, and it’s pretty evident that they don’t quite know what to make of you, either. As they pull you close and push you away, your actions around them and thoughts about them ebb and flow with the tides. It’s a frustrating fulfillment of the concept of being tied to another person. Winter break approaches and you’re still not sure of whether or not your not-relationship will remain unchanged throughout the month-long off-period. From the raw desolation of “Godless” by BANKS to the playboy-chic fuck-it-all attitude of The Weeknd’s “Heartless,” this playlist has it all for the rollercoaster of emotions you’re on.
