You get these reminders, little reminders that you can break apart in one moment. One moment. You can fall apart. Disintegrate into tiny microscopic pieces. You can crash and burn. Everything you call "you" can collapse in a moment.
I don't think this should be "discouraging," no, you can keep your courage up in the face of annihilation. Remember you are special, but so is everyone else. You are the narrator of your own private narrative, but your story is not the central story... not by a long shot. You are important to you. To the universe you look like vapor, a tiny cloud, a blip, a nearly invisible speck in the great all-seeing eye.
And that's OK!
