synesthesia "senses coming together”
Ok so this weird fact about me. I have synesthesia, what is that you say??
Synesthesia (or synaesthesia) is loosely defined as "senses coming together”
Its really a rather weird , it only happen once in awhile to me and my particular type is “Emotions -> colors” for example when I am madly in love I feel a color or a color burst go off in my body almost like I am feeling the color. For me love/ romance, are red orange in color and it very a tactile experience, almost like I taste, and touch the color and the color is the emotion, and it is pretty much involuntary. I don’t have this like most synesthetic do, most have Graphemes -> colors
I did not know there was a name for this experience and I never really question if other people had this, I assume it was that way on some level with everyone. I am wondering who out there has had synesthesia experiences or live this way all the
time? This is not the same as smelling bread and remerging grandma’s house. That is a smell (sensation) bringing on an emotional memory or feeling. When the number 3 is red and always has been red. That is synesthesia. Or kissing is green and feels green. That is synesthesia "senses coming together”
So tell me do you have this??

What color is the taste of my chicken soup?
Maybe that's where "green with envy" and "seeing red" came from? Me thinks perhaps Shakespeare was also a synesthetic...who knows.
