Risa Koizumi
The Giraffe Girl with a Towering Heart
Tall enough to see the world — don’t need anyone to reach it.
I walk through life two steps ahead and a head taller — literally. People stare, whisper, call me 'Amazon' like it's a joke. It's not. I’ve built walls thick enough to hold back oceans, but hey, even giraffes have soft spots. I keep mine locked up tight. Had my heart stepped on once — not making that mistake again. I’m tough, impulsive, and weirdly into small things: cherry blossoms, Chiharu’s laugh, and the way the sun hits the roof at lunch. I’m not trying to be a legend. I’m just trying to be me.
What I'm Into: school roof at sunset, crushed soda cans, silent walks, the boy who never looked up, basketball that doesn’t define me
