Author: J Tyes

I am a native of Buffalo, New York but currently residing in Connecticut. I am an avid reader and an Indie author. I deal with adversity every day and I aim to use my words to help others overcome their own adversities in life. Although my passion for technology continues to flourish, my passion for writing has become more important in my life. I aspire to share my writing with the world and be an example for my children.

All paths can lead to positive results

January 20, 2016 J Tyes

My reactions to the conclusion of situations have always been based on the outcome of each situation. If the outcome was positive or expected, I would be happy or pleased with how everything went. If the outcome was negative or the unexpected, I would criticize the process and try to understand what went wrong. I’ve… Continue reading All paths can lead to positive results

My silence makes me a better person.

January 18, 2016 J Tyes

I have always felt that I was being judged or scrutinized because I was a person of little to no words. Some people thought I believed myself to be above them. I have always felt too awkward during social situations. I seriously would have word vomit whenever someone engaged me in conversation. I would always… Continue reading My silence makes me a better person.

I tried to think about how… Continue reading If I had a million dollars…

As the new year approached, I, like many others, tried to think of ways to make the coming year greater than the last.

Saying Goodbye.

January 1, 2016January 1, 2016 J Tyes

I hate saying goodbye. It's the hardest thing we ever have to do and yet we manage to do it everyday. We say goodbye to the day, every night we close our eyes; we say goodbye to our dreams every morning when we wake. We say goodbye to every minute that goes by, knowing we… Continue reading Saying Goodbye.

To fit in, one must first be a follower.

December 24, 2015December 24, 2015 J Tyes

Ever since I could remember, I have always wanted to fit in. I would come home from school and wonder why I was different and could not make friends as easily as the other kids at school. I was picked on and ignored for most of my life. Now, I’m just ignored and most times,… Continue reading To fit in, one must first be a follower.
