Is it worth trying long distance in college?

This boy really isn't just my high school sweet heart, we've known each other and have loved each other since we met in 7th grade and we've always had a connection, even his mom has said that. We've been dating for 5 months and we said I love you a couple weeks into the relationship because we've loved each other long before we were actually together. I've met his entire family and they love me and my family loves him. I swear he's the love of my life and I feel like it's at least worth a shot even if things don't work out. Please share your experience with this/ thoughts! It would mean so much to me 💕💕
