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☺️

    I still have the keys to my first car. Car is long gone, passed down to each of my siblings and eventually donated to some local charity I think, gotta be at least 20 years ago. Somehow I ended up with a set of the original keys and they’ve managed to follow me around ever since. At this point I fully intend to keep them till I die, because why the hell not?

      That’s such a great choice! I’d definitely do the same if I had a car of my own. That car was truly an old friend of your family, or maybe even a family member :> It accompanied so many people in your family, leaving everyone with happy memories of it. After I died maybe I want to be buried with my keys, along with all the other things I truly love. I’m a pretty possessive person when it comes to things I’m attached to, and I just wouldn’t be able to bear letting them go🫳🫳🫳
