Passé Compose vs Imparfait

Judy B.C1Kwiziq Q&A regular contributor

Why is “j’ai toujours eu une passion pour les etoiles” in the passé compose and not in the Imparfait? Does not “toujours” indicate it is an on-going situation and therefore it would be in the imparfait? I still have so much trouble with using these tenses correctly.

Thanks.
