acousticwindow asked: Hi! I created a a blog for synesthetes called "a-synesthetic-world" so we can all share our stories and experience with others that share our gift. Feel free to submit photos or videos that describe your type of manifestation or ask questions. I may not be an expert but I'll try to answer all questions.

crystalsocialmedia:
Welcome back! This week, we’re going to tackle a topic that a few commenters brought up in the last Challenge.
Erika: “I’ve found that blog[s] typically have contributed to my cynicism and decreased empathy towards people. I tend to read many political blogs and or celeb gossip blogs, which inherently make me hate the world most of the time.”
