That realization caused me to become fully aware of when time(months, years, days, etc.)/numbers "manifest" before me, whereas before I was so accustomed to it because I thought it normal. Furthermore, I also realized then, that there I also see hours and minutes, and that is when I found it really annoying and distracting. But, I've grown used to it again, I know it just happens, so I accept it, instead of trying to ignore or fight it. I look up the various forms of synesthesia, especially mine (sequence-space-synesthesia, or conceptual synesthesia, or time-space synesthesia) to help myself understand why our brains are doing this. I hope that extra research in synesthesia can lead to stronger understanding of the human brain in general.
