Seeking a story with a beautiful quote but nothing else to go on - please help?

I have been trying to find a story (trying and trying and trying…), but have had zero luck. Because despite the fact I absolutely loved the story, I don’t remember what it’s about. Or the author. I just remember how it made me feel. My search has been particularly frustrating because I have been reading breathtakingly beautiful SGA fic for 20+ years, and have a huge list of favorites, but no keywords or author’s name to narrow my search.
All I have to go on is a quote from John that I saved because it made my heart ache and resonated deeply. I want to frame and hang it on my wall (it resonated that deeply) but don’t want to do so without crediting the author. I’m also a bit desperate to reread the story.
I am really hoping that someone recognizes the quote and can help me find the story:
“I let it go,” he continued, “I did stuff I’m proud of. I did stuff I’m not proud of. I can’t change any of it. It’s gone now. It’s past. I let it go and do what I can today.”
I would be grateful for any help, and truly appreciate this community.
