When you are in love with your job and your career is going great then you have no problem at all with 'the guy'. Things are looking up and 'the guy' thinks you really have something, he could really use your talent.
'the guy' buys everyone tickets to an amusement park
'the guy' only asks that you sit at a desk and shuffle around papers for
him, he doesn't have the time any more because he is to busy doing what
he wants.
'the guy' put a Wii in the break room!!
'the guy' just needs you to take on a few extra tasks that weren't outlined in your job responsibilities.
'the guy' had everyone over at his house for a BBQ, it was really cool!
'the guy' is having a tough time covering your health plan, would you mind helping him out by chipping in a few more dollars every check?
'the guy' thinks you would be able to focus easier if you didn't have other responsibilities that conflicted with your schedule.
After some time you will start to realize that 'the guy' grows up into 'the man'. You were so adamant about helping out 'the guy' while
he makes a ton of money and fulfills his dreams that you forgot about everything you wanted to do for yourself. Dont forget about all of your personal goals you set to the side to help out 'the guy'.
You gave up your passion and vision because you wanted 'stability'...but deep down you dont believe because you question everything around you... noticing that the entirety of your existence and 'who you are' is a fleeting glimpse of one moment of time.
