Behind my Quiet Eyes

 Behind my Quiet Eyes


People see me quiet, but they don't see what's loud inside me. I carry so much pressure, expectations, dreams that feel too big, and a heart that never stops hoping. This isn't just about being a student. This is about surviving days where I feel invisible, and still showing up my whole soul. I want this essay to speak for the parts of me that words can't always express.

My name, Miel Keif Lyan Abalos symbolizes "honey." I am someone who loves deeply, stays loyal, and breaks silently when hurt. I lead in school, win competitions, and carry the weight of being the "smart one," but still I wonder if I'm enough. I try to smile even when I feel like falling apart. I care for others more than I care for myself sometimes. I may be strong, but I'm healing from pressure, from silence, and from the fear of never being truly seen.

But I have a dream. I want to become a neurosurgeon - someone strong enough to hold lives, but soft enough to still feel. I want to prove that even someone like me, who cries silently at night, can change the world. My plan is to fight every day, study harder, and never stop believing in the purpose behind my pain. Because one day, I'll not just survive - I'll save lives!

  1. hello, Miel! from your blog, I realized that you have such a good heart. Always remind yourself that you are good enough and that everything they say will not measure your capabilities as a person. It's your life, not theirs.
