Should I bother to pursue a long-distance relationship?

well, love entered in your life in a difficult way. if you feel that he's worth giving your love, then go. but 1 thing must be kept in mind, don't give your everything when you love since your situation is hard, because by the time you broke up you will be completely lost if you give your everything. give it a try, if it works for both of you then go. or maybe start with the first step, be friends
