Reactance means the power is coming back to you!

You can not feed power to anything, you can only apply voltage and/or
current.
Real antennas do not "seem" reactive, they ARE reactive at any frequency
where they are not exactly resonant.
That that power is coming back means that not all of it is being radiated,
as is mistakenly claimed by a number of people.
Word salad nonsense based on a false premise.
Power is not a discrete thing that flows like a river.
It is current that flows through an electrical circuit and the power at
any point in the circuit is I^2R.
