Searching for the Perfect Friend Group

I don’t have a lot of long-time friends. Or rather, the people I’m closest to are those I’ve met somewhat recently, like in the last 5ish years. I can’t quite decide if that’s a good or bad thing. On one hand, time and memories are the most irreplaceable elements, and you only have one chance to make them with others. You could meet a kindred spirit or even soul mate tomorrow, and no matter how close you become, your shared history will only begin then, and not a moment before.
