Love consists of many little things, and not all of them are always bright and shiny. Amanda Oleander, an artist from Los Angeles, knows a lot about these things, but she’s not afraid to show them to you. In her work, she illustrates all those little details like eating out or brushing your teeth that make up the everyday life of most couples. That is why her illustrations are so relatable for each of us.
Bright Side put together 17 drawings made by Amanda that show what love looks like behind closed doors.
17. If you love someone, you love every part of them, even the hairy ones.
16. Random sniffs are the best.
15. You’re ready to do anything just to make your loved one smile.

13. When you 2 are together, the magic appears.
12. Even a cold and stuffy nose can’t separate you from each other.
11. Sharing stories about your scars can be a deeply bonding experience.
