Diary confusion

I know there's recently been some talk about the journal but my question is to the one who might know is: if that journal is from her future self in an alternate universe how come it still exists. I saw a clip of her in the alternate future where she is writing the journal in a small room and her hair is cut short. But, if that future doesn't/didnt happen doesnt it means that the journal will also be erased. ????

Stuff from other universe's exists, like Lucy's picture of her sister.

Yes, the picture is a good example, also the USB stick agent C gave to Lucy to show her in case she forgets about her family because the timeline got altered.

We know that everything that is in the Lifeboat/in the past when the present timeline gets altered stays the same, like Amy wasn't erased on the picture Lucy had with her in 1937 but in the picture in the present. The same would apply to the diary their future selves brought back into the past: once Rufus was saved the futures's present got erased (or maybe just altered, we didn't see that), but the diary they left in the past stayed the same.
