Everyone dies.
Not everyone really lives.
A manifesto for the wild, the aware, and the ones who refuse to sleepwalk through life.
Most people don’t live—they drift,
like a boat lost at sea without a captain or crew
at the mercy of the waves that carries it where ever they want.
Numbed by routine. Distracted by noise. And slaves to addiction.
They wake up, scroll, work, consume, and repeat.
Until one day they look up, and life is gone.
But you…
You feel it.
The quiet scream inside that says,
“There’s got to be more to this.”
The Skullys Manifesto isn’t a book.
It’s a wake-up call.
A spark to set your soul on fire
before the clock runs out.
The Skullys Manifesto is not your average self-help book.
It doesn’t sugarcoat life, and it doesn’t preach.
It tells the truth—raw, urgent, and unapologetic.
Inspired by the spirit of Día de los Muertos, it’s a philosophical war cry for the ones who are awake… or trying to be.
It’s for those who know that time is running out—and want to do something about it.

A Glimpse Into the Pages That Wake People Up.
This isn’t just a book you read.
It’s one you feel. One that stares you down and dares you to change.
With poetic prose, provocative reflections, and clean, elegant design—it invites you to slow down, dig deep, and face what matters most.
This book wasn’t born from theory. It was born from fire.
I wrote The Skullys Manifesto because I was tired of watching people sleep through their lives—
and worse, realizing I had been one of them.
We live as if we have forever.
We numb ourselves with noise.
We avoid the truth because it’s uncomfortable.
But death is coming—for all of us. And when you really understand that, you stop wasting time.
This book is my rebellion against that sleep, that mediocre lifestyle of working so you can check things off of your list. It’s for the misfits, the warriors, the quiet ones who feel something deeper and can’t ignore it anymore, and for all of those that believe that life has to be a certain way or else your doign it wrong. Life doesnt have doesnt have a one size fits all.
If you’ve ever felt like life is slipping through your fingers…
This is your call to stop waiting and start living.
