The world of Stephen King is filled with rich and diverse characters from all walks of life, but young Eddie Kaspbrak from IT is the one character I can probably relate to the most. More so as a child as I was the shy quiet type with numerous allergies that have followed me into adult hood. I've always viewed Eddie as a number two or the second on command of The Losers Club, his best friend Bill Denbrough being the unofficial leader. That's how I generally view my role in life, as a number 2 which I'm completely fine with, in fact I enjoy it quite a lot. I like being the often silent observer who offers advice when needed, without the distractions that comes with being more of a leader. My allergies can be a hindrance at times but I don't let them rule my life. That's all I can really say as I don't have an overbearing mother, I haven't use my inhaler as a weapon against an evil shape-shift alien entity and hopefully I won't meet my end by being crushed my a giant spider.
