Truths Unmasked
Most of us live our lives without ever really seeing them.
Essays for anyone ready to notice what is underneath: in the office, at home, and in the mirror.

You did everything you were supposed to do. So why does something still feel off?
- You react before you understand why, and only see it afterwards.
- You tell yourself a story about why things went wrong, and half believe it.
- You play a role so well that you sometimes forget it is one.
Nobody should have to reach fifty before learning to see their own life clearly.
Hi, I'm Taariq
I've stood in that gap too, between what we show and what we feel.
For more than twenty years I worked in rooms where people made big decisions under pressure. What interested me was never the decision. It was what sat underneath it: the fear nobody named, the pride, the thing left unsaid.
I write about those seams in ordinary life. Not as an expert handing down answers. As someone who keeps noticing, and wants you to notice too.
