This

It took me years to write this. 'This' is such a tricky word to explore. A short utterance yet such a long journey, 'This' is problematic, in fact the very word 'problematic' proves 'this.' 'This is never enough, it must be stretched like a rubber band until it squeaks or breaks but now I am confident enough to write 'this' in the full knowledge that 'this' is it! Now I must move on with a firm resolve and determination to the dangerous and deceptive 'That' That being yet another thing.

When you get to 'that', the wicked 'which' may be necessary: to which that were you referring? This that or that that? Probably best you kept it to this for now...
