Amazing writing, and a very real experience for many people today, it's sad that I know people like that. It's a terrible thing that people can be so obsessed with perfection and material things such as titles and looks that they overlook the important things, such as friends.
Your work is amazing!
Keep it up!

i have to point out the brilliant irony in the rhythm of this entire thing. so sing-song, yet such a grave topic of failure in the quest for "perfection" or "beauty". lovely work.
