The "not for anyone to read, but for my own sanity" part also doesn't imply anything about the reader or the situation in which it's being read. Those are the words Michael wrote in the journal when he started it.

As far as I can tell, we still have a full blown mystery on our hands as to who is reading the journals (not just Michael's)...
What, if all this reading and looking back into the past is done by Michael alone, after all the Survivors were killed and beat to death by the zeehs, and Michael's the last one to survive and to having fled from the massacre. And now Michael puts things together for anyone who may find the entries ... That would fit the pretty common theme, that many to most zombie-stories end with a bad, very dystopian-style finale ...
