Growing up with Disney’s 1989 animated version of The Little Mermaid, I instantly fell in love with the enchanting world under the sea, the magic of mermaids, and the fairy-tale love story of a couple who fight against the odds to be together.

But as I’ve gotten older, I realised the really poor message this film sends - a teenage girl gives up her voice, family and sense of self for a man she has only seen once, and this is supposed to be her happy ending?

Love Island returns to our screens tonight for another sizzling summer, for the second time in under six months.

Yet with dwindling viewership, calls out for toxic behaviour and a constant drove of identical influencers being manufactured, will this be a long hot summer of loyalty or lost viewership?

Hi, I’m Ally!

I started this magazine for all the fellow strugglers who feel the same way that I do; like everyone else has it all figured out and you just don’t know what you’re doing in life.

The struggle is real… when you’re trying to figure life out.

Hi, I’m Ally, and welcome to This Modern Struggle Magazine.

If you’re reading this, there’s a good chance that you also feel like you don’t know what you’re doing with your life.
