How to use "Fleeting" in context?
Fleeting is an understatement when it comes to describing how quickly time flies. It seems like just yesterday we were enjoying our childhood, but now we're adults with families of our own. Life seems to just fly by, and soon enough, it's time for the next stage in our life.
It's especially true when it comes to our adolescent years. We're full of energy and enthusiasm, but soon enough, that fades and we enter into our adult years. We may still be young in age, but we're no longer the people we once were. We're more experienced and have learned a lot in the time we've been alive.
