I'm definitely inspired by "diarists (and letter writers) of yore" although not all of them are that "yore" XD I love Madeleine L'Engle's Crosswick Journals, Anais Nin's thoughts, and further back to Mary Shelley and many others.
In a more modern sense, I really love the Yarn Harlot's blog.
My own journaling is never quite up to parr but I also remind myself that these journals and letters are often edited before they're published to the public (to which extent I may not know) and that once paper was expensive and the act of writing more time consuming so maybe you waited until you had something Profound rather than just dashing stream of consciousness whatever and hitting "post."
