It was a normal morning at he office back in 2006 when my partner and I started to talk about how amazing and powerful the brain is, and suddenly in the midle of our conversation he told me that he found very interesting people that could associate colors to letters and numbers, sounds to smells, and tastes to colors... "How come?" I said.
He started giving me examples; "Yeah like seeing certain numbers and words with specific colors, or to bring a taste back to your mouth by listening a sound or a word"...
His words were for me like finding out you're addopted... How come at my 24 years old I'd never realized it wasn't normal, all that came out from his mouth was so familiar and normal for me and so weird and amazing to him...
That day I knew what Synestesia is and as if it wasn't enough I found myself a Synaesthete... Has it changed my life? Not at all must admit, I just know my brain works different, is it helpful? mmm... well, as I know synesthetes tend to be creative and as a Graphic Designer I'd dare to say yes!
Curiously is hard for me to make those kind of emails they send where you have a red colored word and it reads "GREEN" also when a client ask me to crate a logo and by the name of the company I instantly get a color, the thing is that almost always they have their own color in mind then it gets a little harder for me to be crative...
You better think it twice before taking things for granted so you won't realize in the midle of a conversation, at your 24, you are special!
And in a brief my name is Melody, I'm a Synaesthete and today is a good day. ;)
