Is this ok?

Revisiting my past could possibly give me the ability to start experiencing memories that I would be able to cherish for the rest of my life

It's unclear. Do you mean "revisiting" in your mind only, or looking up some old locations and old friends and acquaintances? If you mean in your mind only, then "start experiencing memories" implies that you have not refreshed these memories before.

"Revisiting my past could possibly give me the ability to start experiencing memories..." is too wordy. Just write something like:

"Revisiting my past may evoke memories that I would cherish forever"
