Past tense

The mouse I'm using is old fashioned and the right click thing is kinda dodgy. At times, pages will scroll down on its own or it will go undetected by my laptop suddenly.
But I liked it.

The purple umbrella upstairs has been abandoned by me who is not an umbrella-person. I remember the first time I opened it to find a huge Garfield print on it. Not matching at all, I thought.
But I still liked it.

The flowery socks in the pile of laundry next to me make me look like a pre-schooler, in addition to my height.
But I really liked it.

But I honestly liked them.

Is the past tense inevitable for all things?
