Would you be moving for you, or for your boyfriend?
I'd suggest not moving if you're doing it for someone you don't have a permanent connection with. If you're doing it because you think you'd be better off, by all means, go for it.
Like Mal, I moved out as a teen, 18. I went back to visit for holidays, wanting to see my brothers and sisters and my mom on occasion, but I've mostly been on my own. I do still get an ache to see them, my siblings sometimes, but I'm comforted by being able to be with two people I love and who love me in return, so it doesn't become overwhelming too often.
In your position at your age I'd likely not have moved, but I tend to cling to safety rather than take risks.
