No more codes for me, by Rieko

"Secret Codes of Conduct for Marriage"

I googled "marriage code" and above is the title of a book that popped up in the results. It makes me laugh. For the longest time I devoured self-help books and made many futile attempts to feel good about myself by following them to the letter. These days I never wonder into that section of the bookstore anymore......well, maybe on occasion.

I do this. Try to live by someone else's code. And it changes. I never get satisfied with myself, so I move on to the next code to follow. It has an element of fun in it, and an element of distraction, and one of desperation too, maybe, speaking for myself.
