No, your question makes sense to me. Truly, the only person I "write to" when I write in my journal is myself. I codify the meta-thoughts that are hanging around in my brain about each day and put them down on paper. But they are still only meant for me, for today, not even (I think) my future self.

That is why I have said that more than anything else, what my journal has done the most for me is to make me self-aware/self-reflective.
