Am i being delusional?

Am I being delusional about me and my ex? I want to make it work. It didn't work out because we're both not ready to take it to the next step. We're long-distance and in order to make it work, one of us had to move closer to the other but we're both just not at that place yet individually to make such a drastic change.

However, I'm just starting to get frustrated at the fact that we both could still be together if one of sacrificed and I think that person is me. He has a job, he's more stable than I am so I understand why he can't move closer to me. With me, I don't have anything. I am unemployed, I know what I want to do, he knows what my "career goal" is and I'll just have to make it work. I was talking to my mom about it and at first she looked at me like Im crazy and yes I might look crazy but then she saw how much I love him and she said well you're gonna have to work really hard then if you move in with him. He said of course he would like it I moved in or closer to him but he also said he wouldn't want to distract me from my career path. I'll just have to see what are our options. I know he would like to make it work but he's more of a thinker than a feeler. He goes with whatever is reasonable hence, why he thinks it was best to split. But if I keep acting on my feelings, I have a feeling we will make it work.
