Just in case you guys don’t know what keepmesecretkeepmesafe is talking about this below is the supposed Hakuna Matata symbol. It had become popular among white hipster and white “spiritualists” more and more people have been tattooing it on their bodies without actually doing proper research 

As someone who speaks Swahili and is also ethnically Swahili let me tell you this. That shit aint part of our culture I don’t know who the hell made that up. Swahili was originally written in the Arabic scrip (and now Latin scrip but Arabic is still sometimes used) wouldn’t it make sense to have Hakuna Matata written in the Arabic scrip. To be honest I want to find the person who came up with this bullshit because it just gives me another reason to laugh at these white hipsters and spiritualists. 

The first time I saw this symbol was a few years ago in a Korean film called the 200 Pound Beauty though I was so fucking confused because they were claiming that this symbol was part of Swahili culture…No I lied they didn’t even say Swahili. They generalised and said African symbol that meant Hakuna Matata 

and y’all are marked for life with various treble clefs that grew a tail like the demons you are for trying that.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAAHAHAAAAA. WELLLLLLLL. 

no seriously I thought this was a treble clef fuck up, not swahili.
