Love Lust and Connection in the Age of the Complicated Status

What does it mean if you have don't know where you stand, or if you can't really describe it and you have to describe your relationship status as "Complicated". 

Maybe it just means that you are a human. The realities of your life don't fit neatly in a box. It is hard enough to figure our own shit out. Then you bring another human being into the mix and it can get pretty messy. 

Are you cool with the mess?

Despite our best attempts to present a clean and polished version of ourselves to the world, complete with mood lighting, filters, high angles, duck faces, best-life-ever social streams...deep down we are full of shit. 

Don't worry, everybody else is too. So relax and don't worry about trying to compare yourself. 

The gig is to figure what kind of masterpiece you can assemble out of the messy stream of experiences and circumstances of you call LIFE. 

How much of it are you willing to own?

HINT: The more of it you are willing to own, the greater your chances of making an authentic connection through the work that you do, the service your render, the art you make, and in the relationships you are trying to build. 

So this playlist has some songs (starting about halfway in) that address a variety of different relationship concerns. Maybe the artists were processing feelings through the work. And maybe you can use the music to process yours. 

Maybe not...

But at least you get to experience a view of love, lust, and connection in the era of the complicated status.
