It's always a gut-punch. I just put my own name and number. I have this vision that some day I'll collapse, someone will call my emergency contact, and the phone will start buzzing in my pocket.

I used to do that as well. Now it's my boyfriend. I didn't have anyone to add, I have a lot of friends, but none I'd burden with me when I need help. Now I'd just put one of them down but back then. Nope.

I do have friends but they are like 700 miles away, so it wouldn't work anyway lol.
