I know I'm not the right (or even righteous) person to guide you, but I'm trying to as it's part of my responsibility.
I know what are our purpose of life, and the dunya is just sinking us both and we gotta try to swim back to the shore!
If we love someone; we'll try to abstain them from getting into hell and we'll do anything, just anything to save them from hellfire. and because I love you so, I'm doing this. I tried, but He is the one, and only one who hold your heart.
"Indeed, you do not guide whom you like, but Allah guides whom He wills. And He is most knowing of the [rightly] guided." Al-Qasas 28:56

one night, in our hostel. everyone was sleeping. suddenly I woke up to the smell of the smoke. I looked around and saw the building is on fire. and I knew I have to save myself and get out of this building as soon as I can. as I got up from the bed, I saw my roommate, dead asleep, not aware of what was going on.
"Bangun, weh, hostel terbakaq ni!"
"hmmmmmm........" huh, she's not even awake. I tried one more time.
"Bangun! aku serious ni weh."
"Huh? mana ada terbakar. hang ni mamai apa ntah." and she went back to sleep. How frustrated I was. I tried to wake her up and it wasn't working at all. At all!
I was thinking to myself, should I just grab my things and leave? or... continue to wake her up?

perhaps it's time, to make a change. to change for the better.
