It's called "synesthesia". The way your brain is wired you can experience emotions as if they were other senses. Perceiving colors is one of the most common forms of synesthesia. It's not an illness, but it is unusual and can take some getting used to. Many great artists have had synesthesia and learned how to use it to enhance their understanding of the world around them. The Wikipedia article is a good place to start: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synesthesia

I don't know what "normal" is to you or anyone else; however, I think it's pretty cool.

You think that's weird? Sometimes I see a color and smell a flavor. I might see a purple shirt and smell grape! That's not right!

There is no such thing as "normal" no one acts exactly the same and normal isn't a thing. Don't worry your not crazy this doesn't sound crazy it sounds cool. Btw there are seven billion types of people im sure there are more people that do this.

That's actually a very rare disorder. Like some people get a strange taste for each word they here. And some people hear sounds and that give them a certain smell. It's not really a disorder, by the way.

If youre telling the truth then you may have a sensory/psych condition called synesthesia. Not necessarily bad or something to worry about.
