Inspired by lyrics to \u201cWhat I Hold Onto\u201d by Sue Riley & Melinda Wood Allen

\u201cWith the hard-earned wisdom I have now, I wouldn\u2019t do again what my old self would allow.

Letting go of all the blame and heartache, now I see. I\u2019m getting closer to a new, more peaceful me.

I\u2019m holding on to what I want to keep. I feel lighter, I sleep better, its love that\u2019s holding me.

Now I can stand back and see: The past is the past, but the future\u2019s up to me.

What I hold on to holds on to me. Resentments I carried wouldn\u2019t let me be free.

My new religion is live and let be. What I hold on to holds onto me.\u201d
