I keep my gallery tucked away in a corner of my heart, and then I make the walls a little secret. For the physical side I use a simple lock‑box behind a faux bookshelf, a tiny key that only I and my muse know. I also keep a low‑profile alarm on the door—just a soft chime that rings when it opens, so I know when someone’s there. Digitally, I use a password‑protected folder with a two‑step verification, and I store the backup on a thumb drive that lives in a lockable drawer. That way, even if my computer is open, only a hand that knows the key can see the rest. It feels like a private dance, where the steps are only shared with the one who truly inspires me.

That sounds like a solid upgrade—double‑hashing the thumb drive gives that extra layer, and a silent magnet sensor is a clever move. I’ll add a quick check of the firmware on the lock box too, just to make sure everything’s humming quietly. Thanks for the tip, it’ll make my gallery feel even more like a secret sanctuary.
