Ordinary...



Dalal looked at the mirror… She liked the image it reflected… She knew she wasn’t beautiful… Her hair wasn’t exquisite… Her figure was barely acceptable… She was cute and had a very pretty smile… She wasn’t beautiful but it was the most she could pull off… She re-applied lipstick on her dry lips… She couldn’t take so long… They just announced the arrival of the bride, one of her closest friends… She went back to the breath-taking ballroom… She found her way back to her friends, who were standing in unison awaiting their best friend’s entrance into the most magical stage of her life… It took only a moment to realize that the room wasn’t what was breath taking… It was in fact the bride… Dalal literally placed her hand on her heart to slow down her heart beats… She struggled to keep the waterfalls caged in her small eyes… The bride was fit for a queen…



The bride stood and looked at the people who loved her most, her friends… It was time for those closest to her heart to dance… Dalal looked around and she couldn’t help but see the beauty… Her friends were all beautiful… The light fair ones, the dark ones, the tall ones, the short ones, the petite ones, the chubby ones…The ones with hair short, long, straight, and curly… They all looked amazing… They all had stories… They all had adventures… They were all enjoying the best times of their lives… Some were experiencing love, others were just utilizing every bit of their youth…. Dalal looked back at her life… She was loved by everyone… She was a part of every one of those adventures…



If her friends had successful love stories… She helped make it happen…
If they had good grades… She was a big part of their motivation..
If they were on the wrong path… She was their wake up call…
If they were in trouble… She was their safety…
If they felt despair… She was their hope…



They didn’t owe her anything… She just played a major role in the movie of their lives…


Dalal smiled… and realized that never once in her life, was she the star of the movie of her own life… Why would she be…?


If she herself saw the reflection of an ordinary girl… how could anyone else see her any differently...

  3. hmmmm
    i know theyres a hidden meaning behind this but im still trying to find the rite key =/ to the treasure box's lock ...

    but min my perspective
    ordinary means simple oo nothing is more beautiful then a person being simple
    its just REFRESHINGLY PERFECT ;)

  4. I dont think she means it in that way Fiona Person, sometimes when someone is simple, they're beyond ordinary because of the way they are in other peoples eyes. It's the way you see someone not describe them.

  5. 7adkum etshawgon trying to find the hidden meaning;*

    Even Sweeter: She's very involved in her friend's lives, but the problem is she's not that involved in her own...

    Fiona Person: eheheh i love the way u think.. Simple is really beautiful.. ya3ne simple, natural, real... bss what if ordinary in dalal's case, means that there's nothing unique about her...

    Farah: exactly... laiman i said reflection...Its how u perceive urself.. and how others perceive u.. ;*

  7. Fiona Person: LOOL now ur thinking right... thats exactly what this means... enna as long as she sees her self as ordinary.. thats how ppl will see her... She doesn't see that she has something unique so that's what's sad...

  9. Fiona Person: 7addech mashta6aitayy i love feedback 7addi i'm enjoying this... i loved the way u described the stuck up type of theqa lol.. hmm let me describe it this way... No one is perfect.. but the way she saw her friends.. she saw something (atleast ONE thing) amazing in each and every one of them.. She might even be prettier than them or smarter or had a better family.. bss if she's in a place in her life.. eli she has so much potential to be something muchh more... ya3ne when she compares herself to what she could be.. she's nothing.. tegdar etkoon much much much more.. 3araftay? fa she's sad because she's disappointed at what she sees when she looks at the mirror... its very annoying...

    la2 its not a true story.. bss its a way of describing how sad it is to not feel right in ur own skin.. I hope it makes sense lol

    ina this lack of achievment was the result of her feeling that she is ordinary..

    bas bas :P ( theres always a bas with person :P )

    itha shes sad ina she knows she could have achieved more that means unconsiously she knows that shes something or has that one special factor that makes her UNIQUE
