I mean its own messages and cron, but nothing else. The journal has two modes of separating messages - by login session's owner, and by the uid of the process itself. Your cronjobs do not run in a systemd-logind session (though they could), but they /do/ run with your uid, so you would be able to see them in the split-by-uid mode at least.
