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☺️

My assumption was that some other drunk person found it on the ground and thought it would be easier for the owner to find if they came back because the branch was a bit below eye level. I definitely thought it was an odd place to find a key, but I wasn’t too worried. At that point I had found maybe 20 keys that year. Drunk college kids lose them a lot.

    That makes a lot of sense! Hanging it somewhere so visible is actually a pretty good idea. I guess I’ll have to keep an eye on my keys too, even though I don’t drink much. If I ever lose my keys, I’ll come ask you if you’ve found them ;3
