Should I go back to figure skating?

Last year (actually it's almost exactly a year ago), I quit skating. I stopped because I had too much going on. I had an axel and everything below it. I wasn't GREAT but I was pretty good. When people ask me about regrets I immediately think of skating. But there's a problem with going back. I'm 14 and I've been off for a year. I'm stronger now, more flexible, but other than that, I'm not ready to compete. And I let my coach down, so if I went back, I would always feel really bad and weird knowing that I haven't always lived up to his expectations. However, the main issue is I've had a year off of skating. I've been doing lots of lacrosse and competitive cheerleading. And I'm sick of the cheerleading! (Lacrosse not so much, but I do at some times feel weird playing it.) I was me when I skated, but going back...would it even be worth it? I aim high, so I'm thinking like making it at least to Junior Nationals. (Obviously not now) But I need opinions on if it's even worth it. That's where you come in. Please, please just answer the question knowing all the above! I've been off for a year but I want to go back but only if it would be worth it.
