When you have a chain around your neck, you have to keep your head down and try to accept your fate without succumbing entirely to humiliation, without forgetting who you are.
— Ingrid Betancourt
I have to forget in order to find peace in my soul and be able to forgive.
I don't want to be submerged by depression.
I continue with the illusion of serving Colombia. Only God knows if it were to be from the presidency.
The only thing I've settled in my mind is that I want to forgive, and forgiveness comes with forgetting.
I didn't want to be a number. I didn't want to be an object.
I love Colombia's military. I love my country.
It's not easy to talk about things that are still hurting.
I continue to aspire to serve Colombia as president.
