If it wasn't for breaking...

I stopped breaking about 8 years ago because of life priorities, injuries, and whole bunch of reasons. I felt that I wasted so much time on it while my friends were studying hard (and also having their hobbies). And their lives turned out better than mine actually. They're starting to get married one after the other, while I'm still hopping between jobs living with my parents, couldn't even marry the girl I've been in love with. I hated breaking so much. But after I looked deep down, I realized something. It's not about what could've been better for me, but about what could've been worse. I had a very rough teenhood inside the house (abuse) and outside (bullying) and the point is, it could've gotten worse for me than what it is right now considering the dark thoughts I had that time. Breaking was the only thing that really made up for all what I was going through. It helped me rebuild my confidence, gave me a sense of identity that time. If it wasn't for breaking, I wouldn't be here to write this comment. So no, it wasn't a waste of time. Thank you breaking.

my pxn v9 gen 2 was stolen

I was so excited to try the pxn v9 gen 2 steering wheel, i worked hard, I bought it. I'm in a third world country btw, these are very expensive for me. Then I wanted it delivered to my house. The delivery company said: u can pay 10% extra for assurance in case it goes missing. I was like surely not because this never happened to me and 10% sounded unreasonable.

That's when it all started. They knew what they were doing. they stole it and marked it as missing. And bcz i didn't pay the extra %10 i only get to be compensated 15% of the price, not 100%. When he first told me about that 10% he was lying, it's actually just 1% but said x10 for me to not pay and make the package perfect for stealing.

The price of the product is literally my monthly salary here :' I was really excited to use this with my younger brother and now I'm going back and forth with the company but I'm just tired because I don't have proof that he lied to me the first time. I would appreciate it so much if anyone could help me buy another one, I'll make sure to buy it with my own hands this time (even though i live a little away from the big city)

P.s: if you can't that's okay, but please be nice
