When I was posting here several years ago, I would always say that I wanted to live my life with Dignity, Honor and Grace....(Although Grace never agreed to it )
Good rules to live by! Wait, we are we talking piracy...right?
I am always fascinated by how such a life is defined. The stories I have been so privileged to hear have had such an impact on me (yours included). So let me wiggle into that too small, garishly colored cheerleading outfit and shake the good energy out of those pom poms in your direction.

I think that a lot of what I'm feeling and expressing is the sadness leaving me. Letting go of those bad emotions that would plague me if I didn't purge them ???
I find that talking story helps me to hear myself in a way I cannot if it's just thoughts in my head. Sometimes I catch myself and realized I don't actually believe/feel what I just said. That's a whole other can of worms (snakes included!). It allows me to sit with things and process them differently.
It's a mysterious process, and "you gots to wiggle your fingers" to make is work.
