Robert Sternberg’s Triangular Theory of Love:
Love, according to Sternberg’s Triangular Theory, consists of three components: intimacy, passion, and decision/commitment. With this theory, the type and strength of a couple’s love is determined by both the individual strength of the three components and the interaction between the three components. 
Sternberg also believes that individuals begin to form their own personal theories about what love should be from the time they are born. This theory of love as a story, as he calls it, stems from watching our parents, the media, reading books, and whatever other external factors influence our beliefs about what love should be like. 
Intimacy- Which encompasses feelings of attachment, closeness, connectedness, and bondedness.
Passion- Which encompasses drives connected to both romance and sexual attraction.
Commitment- Which encompasses, in the short term, the decision to remain with another, and in the long term, the shared achievements and plans made with that significant other.
Sternberg reports that the most successful couples occur when the two individuals have more compatible triangles. According to Sternberg, individuals have two different triangles of love: the triangle that characterizes their current relationship, and the triangle of their ideal relationship.

"The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven’s sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possible can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something."

- Kurt Vonnegut (via selfinspiration)
