Too Obsessed

(SAT) June 7th, 2025

9:47 p.m. Sorry for lagging every week for the past couple of months. I'm still in the middle of thinking, but will upload my current conclusion just for your information, which probably won't help much.

Have just come down to about half and the horses remaiining are Sixpence, Mad Cool, Jantar Mantar, Sakura Toujours, Soul Rush, Water Licht, Trovatore, and Jun Blossom, of which Sixpence, Trovatore, and Jun Blossom I'd like to delete somehow.

Sakura Toujuours is also troubling in the sense that I don't want to keep, but can't easily let go. Or maybe I should keep Long Run instead as he's starting from post number 12? Am I too obsessed with post number 12?
