So I’m 17 and rather successful for my age.I’m also graduating this year. I’m a highly skilled coder, love buddhism, but also (like everyone) has some cons. A few months ago I got in trouble for trafficking pot, and I just had my court date friday. As a minor they put me on verbal house arrest until my next court date, at which I’ll likely get probation. Problem with Ohio is that drug charges have a mandatory license suspension for 6 months.

Before all of this happened I was pretty lonely. I hadn’t had any success in relationships for about a year, and my previous one ended horrendously for reasons out of my control. I was pretty messed up and I used pot as my escape for awhile. I got caught and afterwords I began meditating more so I could get clean for court. So my first month of my trouble was rather enlightening, though I progressed a tad too much and backslid a little, and started smoking again. Once I got my indictment I stopped again, though this time I didn’t meditate like before.

One day I wrote down on a piece of paper everything I wanted in a girl, read it out loud, and threw it in the fire hoping it’d reach some high heaven of sorts.Eventually I met a girl. She lives 45 minutes away and is everything I had ever wanted. She’s unconditionally loving, sweet, gentle, funny, adorable, geeky, and short. The only thing she wasn’t was a stoner, which is likely because that wasn’t something i truly needed. She brings out the very best in me and despite only knowing her for 2 months I want to spend forever with her.

Now that I am on house arrest it has been a struggle to see her. She doesn’t have a license and I can’t leave my house. In about a month I will have my court date and although I won’t likely get house arrest and instead will have probation, I won’t have my license for most of the year. This is going to make it very difficult to see her. I want this relationship to last and I was hoping that maybe some other people who have experienced similar roadblocks could give me some advice on how to keep this relationship strong. Any help is appreciated 🙂
