What’s the story behind your nickname?
When people hear “Alina,” they often shorten it without thinking. Suddenly I become Ali, Lina, or just A. But there’s one nickname that stuck the most — Ali.
It started with a close friend who used to call me that in texts, just because it was quicker. Over time, more people picked it up. And I noticed something strange: whenever someone used it, I felt seen. Not professionally. Not formally. Just… personally.
Ali sounded like home. Like someone who knows the real me, behind the goals, the plans, the things I try so hard to achieve.
Sometimes a nickname becomes more than just a name.
It becomes a mirror — of how gently someone sees you.
