The best thing about being a Virgo is: Being a go-getter. So much of being a Virgo is being a perfectionist and, ultimately, having full control of my life. Due to this trait, I feel like there isn't anything I won't chase after. The minute I set my mind on something, I work really hard for it until I get it. I love being a Virgo because my tenacity has been such a huge part of my success and happiness in life. 

The hardest thing about being a Virgo is: The hardest part about being a Virgo is how hard I am on myself. Because of my perfectionist trait, the minute the smallest thing goes wrong in my life, I take it personally and blame myself. I have to constantly remind myself to forgive myself and give myself a break when I make mistakes. 

I’m at my most Virgo when: I'm at work. When I'm working, I'm so focused on giving it my best, working my hardest and making everything perfect. I'm full Virgo at work. 

My best tips for other Virgos: Understand that being Virgo means taking things too seriously so it's important that you make an active effort to incorporate more fun in your life. It's okay to take a break, go on vacation and make mistakes. Live your life to the fullest because perfection isn't attainable. 

What else do you want people to know about being a Virgo? I feel like a huge part of being a Virgo is coming off as closed off. I want other people to know that I'm not doing it intentionally, it's just my nature but if you give me the space and safety to open up, I slowly will.
