Worth it or not? Whether it does or not, you should do it, if this, lets call it x , makes you feel happy and comfortable and it's awesome!
Do not let anyone tell you what to do and what you should not. If you do, you are living someone else's life, which is not fulfilling.
I actually was, and I'm talking about my experience, I did not enjoyed what I was doing, I took my teacher's advice, and now, I am regreting every single second and the day I had to choose what to do, and Do what THEY told me. You know, It is not such a big deal, but, Nowadays I could be studying and Passing subjects I really like. Maybe you are through something way more strong and tough, So I just can tell you to keep on on the decision you have made, and From that, do your own.

Do not dwell in the past, because you will miss your present. And the present is the best gift ever. 

Dwelling in the past does not worth it, keep on, Head up.
