"I can't be a great person." This is the first sentence that comes to my mind after watching FLCL.
Haruko said to Naota, "I am the phantom of youth in your childhood in your heart". At the age of 12, it is the age that is slowly becoming a teenager. With the development of sexual organs, the body, which was originally ignorant of the world, began to respond to the people and things around him. Because of his young age, he was not as numb as an adult. Sensitively aware that the world is rubbing his head in different poses. The world tells the youth, quickly become my shape, and let me turn you into an adult. When the world rubbed the young man's brain, some fine debris fell on the ground and fell in front of the young man's eyes, he blurted out "this is youth".
The disappearance of many people's youth is mostly accompanied by the disappearance of the phantom in that longing. When you were young, the person you liked always had her own radiance. She was special and different from others. You were willing to give her half of your heart. At that time, you could never have imagined that she would become ten years later. A fangirl. Or, she will directly say to you like Shen Jiayi, "I'm not as good as you think, and I'm actually just an ordinary girl." Very unwilling, not all girls are Haruko will always retain your youth, and then fly into space on a Vespa. Their heads will also live in the world, their bodies will become old and numb, and they will start to care about firewood, rice, oil and salt. So, youth is gone.
Or, you can pick up a guitar or a pen and seal your youthful memories in music, words, and pictures. Just like the ruffians, isn't FLCL their eternal youthful phantom.
I can't be great anymore, but I can still be myself.
