    but it was worth it to get out of Florida.

    You could put almost any horrific thing in front of that phrase and it sound valid.

    I had to keep my arm in a tub of fire ants for 5 minutes, but it was worth it to get out of Florida.

      I had to cut off several limbs leading to a bad case of sepsis…

      I had to sell a few children (not mine) along the way engage in some other morally questionable activities…

      I had to sacrifice my first born like Abraham did his Isaac…

      …but it was worth it to get out of Florida
