Author notes
This, to me, has many different reasons and many stories behind it. How do you interpret it?

Go right ahead.

Some would see you as vain if you see the beauty all the time. Most see a failure when looking at their own reflection. I am included in that group that would see a failure.

I guess I didn't think about it like that.

I love this one. It made me think to. I would actually see failure if I looked in the mirror. I have always felt I was one. I think it's wonderful when people can feel they are beautiful, but I have never felt that way. Very thought provoking quote you have.

This is so deep even though it's only- *counts*- twenty two words.
So many people look in the mirror day after day and refuse to acknowledge the beautiful person that stairs back at them. Everyone, EVERYONE, is beautiful, and everyone remind themselves that they are.
This is beautiful. You are beautiful. Your writing is beautiful.
Failure is a word no one should call themselves.

When I look in the mirror, I see the failure everyone else sees.
Great quote, really a big eye opening question!

When you look in the mirror, you should see the BEAUTY everyone else sees.
Not a lot of people see failure in others, you know. They usually see someone who tried and was unsuccessful, but it'll amaze them that you stand back up and try again. A failure is a person who doesn't get back up, ever. A failure is when you don't fight for what you believe in.
From what I know, you are not a failure. If someone gave you a bad comment on one of your stories -- would that stop you from writing? No. It'd make you try harder, it'd make you a stronger writer.
Trust me girl, you are anything but a failure. You. Are. Amazing. Now go look at yourself in the mirror and repeat that to yourself a hundred times. Maybe then you'll see that even people who don't know you know you're beautiful. It's the flaws that make up the beauty in us, not the perfection.
Wow. Didn't mean to go all...meow on you.
I just hate when people put themselves down.

i would be inclined to agree with the comments in your author's notes. now if i ask myself personally, i would have to answer i see nothing but a bunch of cracks. itz from me looking in it and scaring the mirror, hehehe. i don't think any mirror is safe with an alter ego at a given age of 259 years, DARK.
