Greetings Arithhuh,
I hesitate to reply to this thread simply because it will be repeating what has already been said, but maybe there is usefulness in the repetition.
I too am a big proponent of meditation. It has had a profoundly positive impact on my life. I feel more centered, more fluid, more spacious, more able to be with difficult emotions, etc. So, I do believe it is worthwhile.
Please consider getting a meditation teacher to guide you through the journey. I feel this is very important because the ego can move us into an unhealthy practice. So, please do meditate and please find yourself a good meditation coach. One can usually be had free of charge. Most Buddhist schools offer the training and I'm sure other "meditation schools" offer similar programs.
Here is a link to a great directory of Buddhist schools throughout the world:

Here is a link to a variety of articles on meditation in general:

Good Luck!
