I don't want to be submerged by depression.

The only thing I've settled in my mind is that I want to forgive, and forgiveness comes with forgetting.

Living in a jungle is not something easy; it's not something that you just adapt yourself to. And I think that in my case, I didn't want to adapt.

During my captivity, I felt abandoned by everyone apart from my family and supporters, because there was no part of the political spectrum that would want me released.

On one hand, it seems strange that a country that has suffered so much from violence and war would be debating if they want peace or not. But in Colombia, a part of society is deeply connected with the war as a means of making a living.

You need tremendous spirituality to stop yourself falling into the abyss.
