Green Confessions

Hi, my name is Sofia and I'm 21. I'm in college double majoring in biology and psychology with a minor in chemistry.

I haven’t been on here in years, because college, family, and my health have taken over my life. I have learned so much and have grown more than I ever thought I would, but I happy to say that I’m back.

this is just mostly “colour charts” in general.

ok so here we go

Red is a very negative colour for me and it triggers me. It’s not so great that my 3DS XL is red. The bright red physically hurts me. Ow.

Orange is a more positive colour for me, although VERY hard to detect, as I get...

so after having no idea what an interesting essay topic would be for my applications, I’ve come up with one, more or less what if I wrote about my experiences with synesthesia?? I love to talk about it, and people that I’ve explained it to are fascinated by it. is it a plausible idea??

[green-confessions]

I think that you could do it but you'd have to be careful about how you describe what synesthesia is because sometimes people take it the wrong way. I wrote an essay on synesthesia a while back and I didn't write it well at all so things didn't go to good for me :/

Painting Inspo?

I’m going to try and make a new painting this weekend but I don’t know what I should paint. Any ideas?

I need some inspiration

what about a cat? a white cat with a black background?

to me, the cat would symbolise hope in an insecure world.

[green-confessions]

I like cats a lot but I'm not too good at drawing them, let alone painting them. I really like this idea though :] I've been having a bit of a rough time lately so this is actually kind of perfect right now. I might try using a white flower or something instead of a white cat

I can’t hear colours, but I can hear lines. 

I hate really sharp zig-zaggy sounds but I love bouncy-loopy sounds like dubstep

[tzillahshelor-deactivated201702]

I have really sensitive…senses. I can sometimes hear electronics, and another weird thing is I can FEEL them. Like, sense electronics. I don’t know how else to describe it. I realize this makes me sound bonkers. I also smell and taste weird things, and I describe them as textures or...

Synesthesia Probs

I got so mad in class today because someone wrote “Thanksgiving” on the whiteboard in red. The word Thanksgiving is GREEEEN. I thought that one was a given. 😑

Music & the Synesthete - ‘Happy Little Pill by troyesivan’

I love how the ethereal sound of this song is a cool hollow blue/gray. But the electronics and chorus still have this great colourful energy that kind of just flow through and behind the vocals. Highlighting parts, then fading, then becoming the focus. Very pretty.

Thanks troyesivan for making music that’s easy for a synesthete to love!

I told this boy today about my synesthesia and that I could see his colors around him like glowing from him and that he has really beautiful colors and he was so sweet and didn’t think I was crazy but was like really interested and just really sweet
