Data is not showing in view - php

Question

I am new to Laravel and I am using Laravel 9. I am creating a migraine diary web app. I managed to create a custom log in and register system and created a page to display the diary entries and a diary entry form. Currently that page shows the username and user id with a couple of other lines. For showing the diary entries, I am currently trying to show the diary date to get it working, once I can show the date, I should be able to show the rest.
However, after completing the form I am redirected to the diary page as intended but the date from the database is not showing. I checked tinker and the data is being stored and when I used ddd it seems that no data is being sent to the view so I suspect it is something to do with how I am passing data into the view
I currently have 2 controllers, one to handle get requests so as to control user authorisation (and post requests for log in and register) and the other for post requests not related to log in and registration.
The relationship between users and the diary is that a user can have many diary entries, while a diary can only have one user
this is what shows at the bottom of ddd()
