i always believe vs i always believed

Both phrases are correct, but they differ in verb tense. 'I always believe' is used when talking about a habitual or ongoing belief, while 'I always believed' is used when referring to a belief in the past. The choice between the two depends on the timeframe of the belief being expressed.
