Does an ordinary key hold a special memory for you? 🔑 (lemmy.ml)

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☺️

A car key of a car I had for 15 years.
(there isn't much more of worth to the story :/)

That’s so cute! I’m the kind of person who gets attached to my belongings, if something’s been with me for 15 years, it’s probably gonna be with me for another 100 :3 Your car key must feel so loved and proud🚗

Yes, something like that, I do get kinda attached to objects in my life ... and then get sad & (mentally) "thank" them when I have to say goodbye.

I feel like there’s a romantic and sentimental side to your personality, and that’s something really precious☺️ It is sad, of course, but I’m sure those objects were lucky to have shared a happy chapter of life with you :> We spend our lives constantly meeting and saying goodbye, but every encounter means something and leaves us with memories to cherish🩷
