well you don't have to write in it things like "checked caws diary today and noted that she's still talking to om". You could however just journal your thoughts there, things that you feel, think, assume, etc.

Since she did pick up the printed thread you were reading it does show that she's in some insecure with you..perhaps a journal with flooding thoughts from you unintentionally left for her to flip through might help her come out of hiding a bit.

if she believes that you are confident in your feelings for her and the m, it may be difficult for her to open up about her fears.

however if she see's that you have fears and questions as well it might open up a more comfortable place for her to step.
