I'm glad your fears are fading, and that you can have more confidence and try more things because of it!
As it happens, I have sympathy with your former fire fear, as I can't light matches or use a standard lighter. I'm good with campfires and fireplaces, and I can briefly hold a lit match or a lit candle. But actually producing fire, that close to my skin... nope, it's just not okay.
