Theme: Secret Code

When people are asked what a secret code resembles, they mostly visualize/ think of a combination of numbers on a padlock, or a cryptographic cipher used for discreet communication.
However, what about our own "Secret Code", our own language that we use to talk to ourselves, the small ideas that brighten this beautiful bulb of thought in our minds, the inner drive that lights up our souls and keeps us going.
Our secret codes are plenty and diverse, making each one unique and fascinating.
