A childhood belief about general

I've always pictured time as a circle, like a ferris wheel. the months go clockwise with january at the top, then on lines going from the middle of the circle out to the months there are little dots for the days of the month, and within these dots are pixel-like squares for the hours (hours have always been square) and all of time pictured in years is in the shape of an arch, not a line. i had no idea that this was not a normal view of time until i read a book where one of the characters saw time similarly to me and was told it wasn't normal! but, this view of time is completely normal for a synesthete (no this is not some sci-fi creature, google synesthesia) so i'm not a total weirdo!
