Hi everyone! I’m an art student working on a project about keys, and l’d love to hear personal stories behind them🥺 Would anyone be willing to share a key that means something to them, along with the story behind it? ❗️Please avoid posting photo of your actual keys, just in case someone might misuse them.

  • It could be a house key connected to a special memory, something that happened in a particular place, or even a small part of your everyday life.

  • It doesn’t have to be a house key, either. Maybe it belongs to a drawer, or something else entirely. Perhaps there’s a reason you’ve kept it for years, or a memory attached to it that you’ve never really thought about sharing.

Thanks for reading, and thanks to anyone who feels like sharing☺️

    Omg, thank you so much for the reminder!! I honestly hadn’t thought that through carefully enough🥺I’ve now added a note to the post asking people not to share photos of their actual keys. If anyone still posts one, I’ll reply but also delete their comment to keep them safe x I really appreciate you looking out for everyone, this helps me a lot❤️ And yes, keys make wonderful keepsakes. They may look similar, but each one is unique and holds its own memories. Being a key collector is such a lovely thing :D

      Eh it’s all good, so long as they’re old keys that don’t go to any particular lock anymore it’s not as big a deal, moreso a reminder so people don’t go making security risks for themselves unknowingly
