Making peace, to me, is a part of healing. But the healing is not
between us but within each of us.

That last sentence is an excellent way to put it.


A part of them will always be a part of me, and their presence in my life will have helped me
become who I am.

Absolutely.

But, to me, moving on means letting go of the past and looking
toward the future.

Yes, that is how I see it too (however, I wouldn't say as a general rule that being a friend with an ex means you are not "moving on", but yes, I get what you are saying and that is the end that I am on)
