The best part of being an art student with synesthesia is people adapting to your compliment style of "I definitely want to lick this"

fictional people with synesthesia: *has no friends, only can relate to other synesthetes, is a serial killer, uses Synesthete Powers™ to become a superhero and save the world, gets committed to mental institutions, generally goes through Ordeals™*

Sometimes it's hard asking for music recs because I'll be like, I need some BLUE songs. Anybody got any blue songs? And the answer is wtf is a blue song? Like BLUES as in rhythm and blues, and like, no, the color blue 😂

Ughhhh I hate it when I say something is "to the left" so everybody looks over but really it just happened first so on my mind's time line, it's on the left side

Am I Doing This Wrong, or Are They?

We were doing an exercise in class where the teacher would say a word and you were supposed to say the first thing it made it think of. So, the word would be "family" and half the class would go "love" but I would say "pink". It wasn't until afterward when a friend leaned over and reminded me that most people don't see the colors of words that I realized why I was getting so many confused stares. -Ash
