Trenches
<p>When you hear the word trenches, what comes to your mind??</p><p><br/></p><p>Is it a place, a lifestyle, or a name we give to certain environments?</p><p><br/></p><p>Here in Nigeria, we often use the word trenches to describe less privileged neighbourhoods, places where people hustle to survive, where comfort may be a luxury, and where making ends meet is part of everyday life.</p><p><br/></p><p>But the trenches are more than just rough roads, crowded compounds, or houses that society might consider below standard.</p><p><br/></p><p>They represent an environment, a reality, and circumstances that shape the lives of the people who live in them.</p><p><br/></p><p>And no, living in the trenches doesn't automatically mean you're poor, neither does living outside them mean your life is perfect.</p><p><br/></p><p>Perhaps the trenches are simply places where life looks different from what we see in more privileged parts of society.</p><p><br/></p><p>But before we talk about growing up in the trenches, let's understand something first:</p><p><br/></p><p>The trenches are not just a place people come from; they're a reality many people live through.</p><p><br/></p><p>So, are you also from the trenches like this fine girl🤭</p>
